utvolshop.com/p-67332-college-colors-day-tee-preorder.aspxRemember the story last week of the little boy who made his own shirt and the University of Tennessee created one like the one he made? I finally got mine ordered. Did anyone else order one? Proceeds from the sales of the shirt will go to Stomp Out Bullying. I am a teacher so I think this will be great to wear in place of our school colors on a Spirit Day (every Friday)!

Your thread title is the opposite of what it should be. I love that story, I love the people at UT that made that happen for that little boy. Such a great, kind thing! But no, I will not "volunteer" to wear a shirt that is UT orange or has UT on it. Signed a dawg lovin', life long UGA Bulldog fan- proudly wearing my red and black today.  |

Oh I get it. Thread title says support bullying. I wish a lot more colleges got this hand drawn design on a T with proceeds to benefit anti-bullying. My kids are supposed to wear a college shirt on Wednesday’s, and this would be nice

This reminded me of Leigh Anne Touhy in the Blind Side telling Michael that if he wants to go to Tennessee she will come to every game and support him, but “I will not wear that gaudy orange, I will not. It is not my color wheel and I'm not gonna wear it.” 😁😁😁 |

but “I will not wear that gaudy orange, I will not. It is not my color wheel and I'm not gonna wear it.” 😁😁😁 Honestly even as a little kid way before I knew who any of the college teams were I hated orange. It's always been my least favorite color. Now I just have a good reason to dislike it. She was right (in the movie), it is gaudy and it's not in my color wheel.  |

Did y’all hear that Tennessee has offered the boy who designed the shirt a four year scholarship? I think that’s awesome. UT Scholarship |

Funny. About 1 minute ago I was watching the news story about that boy. I think those shirts should be provided to teachers, free of cost.

I ordered one. We wear college shirts on Fridays at my school. Plus, it is my daddy's alma mater.  |

I read yesterday that U of T has offered the kid a full ride in 2028 if he gets in there. Nice!

As an Alabama native and University of Alabama graduate/fan... I cannot wear the t-shirt. I love that they did the shirt and support the anti-bullying cause - but nope, can't wear it. If I knew a TN fan, I might buy them one. |

Living in the heart of Central Texas and having a strong dislike for UT Austin and they ugly ass burnt orange color displayed all over the place and doesn't look good on anyone at at time of day, I will gladly wear a University of Tennessee t-shirt where the brighter orange will work much better with my complexion. Yes, I bought one.  |

I love the scholarship story!
I'm definitely not a fan of the color orange but this sweet story will get me wearing mine. Our school color is royal blue, which I also dislike, but I suck it up and wear it once a week. Of course, I've picked clothing pieces that I do like. That softens the blow a little.
