Tennessee Big Orange Country Retro Tee

Get ready to show your Tennessee pride with this amazing retro tee! • Inspired by a midcentury decal and the creative mind of UT men's basketball coach Ray Mears. • The phrase 'Big Orange Country' was born from inspiration like Ohio's 'Big Red' and Marlboro's billboards. • Mears launched an advertising campaign, made merchandise deals, and had the team wear bright orange blazers pregame. While we first found this vintage Volunteer on a midcentury decal, the phrase we paired with him, 'Big Orange Country,' was actually the brainchild of UT men's basketball coach Ray Mears. Taking inspiration from an Ohio team called the 'Big Red' and Marlboro's 'Marlboro Country' billboards, Mears created an advertising campaign, made merchandise deals with Cumberland Avenue bookstore owner Tom Rechenbach, and had his team wear bright orange blazers pregame to hammer the phrase home. Products are mocked up on a size S. Graphics may appear smaller on larger sizes.
