It looks like UT is releasing a new Smokey logo, as posted by Tennessee Gear on X.
Don’t worry Vol fans, the new logo is not going to be replacing any of Tennessee’s primary or secondary logos. It’s merely a retail design, marketed as a fan-focused secondary logo.
The updated features are actually quite impressive, showcasing Tennessee’s iconic bluetick coonhound, Smokey, with a determined, fierce look.
It’s the subtle detail on Smokey’s nose that caught the eye of many– a silhouette of the state of Tennessee cleverly embedded into the mark.
The new logo is already available for sale, with fans able to obtain cups, footballs, t-shirts, hats, and blankets featuring the newly unveiled Smokey design.
You can grab these items at Dick’s House of Sport, connected to the West Town Mall located off Kingston Pike.
