Tennessee baseball is tinkering with a number of uniforms entering the 2026 season. The Vols unveiled new grey, road uniforms on Monday evening with their season-opening series just four days away.
The new uniforms are a move away from the smokey grey uniforms that Tennessee has previously used as its main road uniform in recent seasons. Those included a block “Tennessee” across the chest. Tennessee’s new uniforms are a lighter grey color that has the “Vols” script across the chest with a white outline.
Tennessee’s previous road pants where just plain grey. The new ones will have a three thin stripes down the side with two orange outside of a white stripe.

In past seasons, Tennessee has worn its grey uniforms on Friday and Sundays during road series. They have worn orange uniforms with a lighter shade grey pants during Saturday games.
The new grey uniforms are one of a number of changes to Tennessee’s jerseys entering Josh Elander’s first season as head coach. Tennessee is wearing a different cream uniform with a block “Tennessee” across the chest instead of the “Vols” script. Tennessee also made very slight changes to its white and orange uniforms but those are much more minimal.
Ironically, this is Tennessee baseball’s last season with Nike before the entire athletic department makes the move to Adidas.

On the field, Tennessee returns veterans Reese Chapman, Ariel Antigua and Stone Lawless in the field and is hoping rising sophomores Levi Clark, Chris Newstrom, Manny Marin and Jay Abernathy take a second year step forward.

Tennessee’s pitching staff projects to be even better than its offense. Sunday starter Tegan Kuhns is back and looking for even more after a solid freshman season. LHP Brandon Arvidson also projects as a weekend starter after a strong back half of the 2025 season. Rising sophomore Brayden Krenzel is another returnee after impressing during his freshman campaign.
The Vols are also active with their pitching staff in the portal, adding Virginia’s Evan Blanco, Kennesaw State’s Bo Rhudy, Rutgers’ Landon Mack and ETSU’s Brady Frederick. Freshman LHP Cameron Appenzeller could also make an impact in his debut collegiate season.
