Tennessee Football Reveals Traditional Uniform for 2025 Syracuse Kickoff Game in Atlanta

The Tennessee Volunteers will kick off their 2025 college football season against the Syracuse Orange in the Aflac Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, with kickoff scheduled for noon Eastern Time. Tennessee will wear their traditional home uniform combination consisting of white helmets, orange jerseys, and white pants, continuing a trend seen in most recent home openers under head coach Josh Heupel. The Volunteers are favored by 13.5 points against Syracuse, a team led by new starting quarterback and head coach Fran Brown, who achieved a 10-win season in 2024. Tennessee’s quarterback for this game will be transfer Joey Aguilar, who won the starting role during fall camp. Following their opener, Tennessee will host ETSU before beginning SEC play against Georgia, while also planning to wear their Smokey Grey alternate uniform for homecoming against New Mexico State in November. This season will mark the final year Tennessee wears Nike uniforms before transitioning to Adidas under a new 10-year deal starting July 1.
