Tennessee Football appears to be teasing its Summitt Blue accessories for Saturday’s homecoming game against Mississippi State.
The Vols’ social media team posted a game graphic to kick off the week on Monday, featuring Summitt Blue “V-O-L-S” letters and the matching blue information tag.
Tennessee first added the Summitt Blue accessories for its homecoming game against UT Martin in 2022 and followed it up with the same accessories against UConn on homecoming last season.
The Vols wore all-orange uniforms with the Summitt Blue accessories for their first go around and their traditional orange-and-white home uniforms with the blue accessories last season.
Tennessee has not announced its uniforms for this Saturday at the time of this publication.

The Summitt Blue accessories are in honor of basketball legend and former University of Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt. The eight-time National Championship coach passed away in 2016 after a five-year battle with Alzheimer’s.
November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
The Summitt Blue accessories have not officially been announced for Saturday’s game but do seem likely with Tennessee’s commitment to the cause in previous years combined with the teaser on Monday. Tennessee ran a commemorative cup promotion during last year’s UConn contest with all proceeds going to UT Medical’s Alzheimer’s research.
No. 7 Tennessee will host Mississippi State this Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. ET in Neyland Stadium. Stay tuned to Rocky Top Insider for live, on-site coverage of the game on Saturday.
