Vols’ uniform combination for South Carolina game to honor Johnny Majors

The Vols will sport a familiar road look on Saturday.

COLUMBIA — Tennessee revealed its season-opening game uniform combination Friday.

The Vols will don an all-white look to contrast South Carolina’s blackout uniform combination.

Tennessee will also be wearing a patch with the No. 45 on it, to honor legendary player and longtime head coach Johnny Majors. Majors passed away this summer at the age of 85.

Majors wore No. 45 as a player, and his initials JTM are also on the patch. Tennessee’s Torchbearer symbol will also be displayed. The program’s official account released a graphic explaining the significance of both patches.

Tennessee and South Carolina kick off at 7:30 p.m. EDT at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia. The game will be televised on SEC Network.
