Vols wear black jerseys, orange pants on Halloween

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Volunteers had a Halloween treat — and a trick — for their fans on Saturday night.

After wearing their traditional orange home jerseys during pregame warmups, the Vols took the field against South Carolina in black jerseys with orange numbers and orange pants.

Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin had refused earlier in the week to say if the Vols would wear black on Halloween night, and athletic director Mike Hamilton denied rumors of black jerseys.

The Vols wore black jerseys prior to adopting orange jerseys during the 1922 season.
