The Tennessee Volunteers
The Tennessee Volunteers, representing the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, are a storied and spirited athletic program with a proud tradition in collegiate sports. Known for their unwavering determination, teamwork, and passion, the Volunteers have achieved success across numerous sports, earning the loyalty of one of the most enthusiastic fanbases in the nation. At Volunteers game day events, fans electrify Neyland Stadium with the rousing “Rocky Top” fight song, the pre-game Vol Walk march to the stadium, Running through the T formed by the Pride of the Southland Band, and the energetic “Go Vols!” chant, uniting Volunteer Nation in passionate celebration. The Tennessee Volunteers’ insignia embodies strength, pride, and the enduring spirit of Volunteer Nation — a symbol of excellence and unity both on and off the field.
Why Orange and White
The colors Orange and White were officially adopted as the University of Tennessee’s colors, representing the heart and spirit of the Volunteer tradition. “Orange” symbolizes enthusiasm, determination, and the bold energy of the Tennessee community, while “White” stands for purity, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence. Together, these colors embody the Volunteer spirit — a perfect blend of courage, pride, and unity that reflects the university’s dedication to greatness both on the field and in the classroom, including in Tennessee Volunteers football.
The Volunteers Mascot
The mascot of the Tennessee Volunteers, Smokey the bluetick coonhound, captures the true spirit of courage, loyalty, and determination that defines the university. Since 1953, Smokey has led the Volunteers onto the field, symbolizing the brave Tennesseans who volunteered during the War of 1812 and earning the state its nickname, “The Volunteer State.” This legacy of selflessness and dedication is embodied by Smokey, who rallies fans with playful antics during the “Rocky Top” fight song and “Go Vols!” chants, inspiring students, athletes, and supporters alike. Together, the name and mascot symbolize Tennessee’s enduring values of honor, teamwork, and the unwavering will to serve and succeed — both on and off the field at Volunteers game day events.
