Jeremy Pruitt says Tennessee could wear black jerseys against Kentucky this year to support Black Lives Matter

A hot topic among Tennessee’s fanbase (and really, any fanbase) is potential alternate uniforms. Whether or not you liked things like the Smokey Grey’s or the Halloween Blackout jerseys, they certainly ventured out from the traditional Orange and White thoroughfare we’re accustomed to seeing. That topic was broached on Thursday’s media call with head coach Jeremy Pruitt—albeit in a more unique way.

According to multiple outlets, Pruitt said that the team is looking at wearing special black jerseys against Kentucky on November 7th. After the game, they would hope to auction off the jerseys to raise money for Black Lives Matter, or an organization similar to it.
