Debating the all-Orange look

Tennessee fans know that the Vols take the field in all-Orange uniforms now and then. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I'm one of those who loves it.

I do believe it needs to be only on special, celebratory occasions. Like maybe the team should break out the solid-O only on the last home game of a season in which they win they clinch the SEC East.

As a student, I saw them go all-Orange in person only once. If memory serves, it was the final game of the 1985 season. The Vols played Vandy and afterward went on to play Miami in the Sugar Bowl (a game I also attended . . . and Oh man, what a game THAT was . . . UT beat the heavily-favored Hurricanes 35-7). Anyway, it was sweet seeing the Vols in all-Orange and after the victory we stormed the field.

That said, isn't this all-Orange semi, like, totally sweet and stuff? Larry from up in Yulee e-mailed it to orangevehicles@gmail.com last weekend, having spotted it on a roadtrip to Keystone Heights, Fla. That solid Orange looks, like, totally awesome against a green background -- just like the Vols do when they wear their all-O unis at Neyland.
