Is it my imagination or has Tennessee changed their orange to a deeper orange…more like ours?


Nov 19, 2022, 9:30 PM

I attended high school in East Tennessee, but went to Clemson, so I’m somewhat of a subject matter expert in orange.

Wasn’t it always a much lighter orange, like an orange shirt that had been bleached too many times in the washer and left your wife’s white underwear with a even paler orange tone?

It is just camera filters.

It’s the same cameras that make our purple uniforms look blue

I think it’s the orange helmet. They look a bit like us out there tonight.

Years ago Clemson played them in the GA dome in the Peach bowl. There uniforms looked yellow.

Yes.

Compare the graphic at the bottom of the screen to their uni’s tonight.

I think the only logical conclusion is that they’re trying to slowly morph into us.

Yes I read one time their Orange is derived from the yellow-orange color of the center of Daisy's that grew on the campus hill next to the river.

Were they the daisies going at the body farm by the river?

It was supposed to be for the Orange Crush, but I am fine with Tenn losing if we can spank the coots next week!!!

We get hurt by UNC, but a countering Coot boost helps.

I think it has to do with the 8 bazillion candle power LED lighting they are using at the roach. They have to adjust the camera filters to deal with it.

I was thinking the same thing about those helmets.

I don't know but they can't tackle.

It looks correct on my TV


Nov 19, 2022, 10:03 PM

Could just be your color “temperature “ settings on your TV

I think it may be the new LED lights that are being used in the stadiums now.

Apparently Tennessee's Orange originated from the yellow- orange center of the American Daisy that grew on campus.

I thought it was more than the LED lighting.

I was thinking the exact same thing…


Nov 20, 2022, 12:28 PM

I’m glad it’s not just me.

What I remember was not that stupid “burnt orange” from Texas, but a “putrid orange” like you get from puking your guts out from ‘shine after a binger on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
