Tennessee Settled in Knoxville Vols Beat Bama Smoke Em If You Got Em Long Sleeve Tee

Wear your Volunteer State pride

This Tennessee long sleeve tee is built for University of Tennessee fans who want to wear their colors loud and clear. The front graphic leads with the iconic “Settled in Knoxville” slogan, paired with the classic rivalry chants “Vols Beat Bama” and “Smoke Em If You Got Em.” It captures the spirit of SEC football season without needing a stadium ticket to feel the energy.

Vintage style meets modern comfort

The design centers on a vintage sports illustration of a coonhound mascot wearing a Tennessee uniform, holding a football while standing over a defeated elephant. This college football rivalry artwork prints crisply on a black long sleeve shirt, offering warmth for cooler October game days. The retro aesthetic gives the piece character beyond standard team merch, blending old-school bootleg vibes with current fan culture. It feels like a favorite thrift find but arrives fresh and ready to wear.

Product details and fit

Made from a soft cotton blend, this shirt holds up to daily wear and repeated washing. The unisex cut runs true to size, fitting comfortably on male and female UT supporters alike. Wash cold to keep the orange and white print sharp against the dark fabric. It layers easily under jackets when temperatures drop further into winter.

What does Smoke Em If You Got Em mean?

“Smoke Em If You Got Em” is a famous chant associated with the Tennessee Volunteers football team. Fans use it during matches, especially against rivals like Alabama, to express confidence and team spirit. The phrase has become a core part of UT chants and local identity. Wearing it signals you know the history and back the team.

Is this shirt officially licensed by UT?

No, this is a fan-made design inspired by university culture and local landmarks. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Tennessee or its athletic department. The artwork celebrates volunteer state pride through original illustration rather than official branding. You get the vibe and the slogans without the corporate license fee.

Where is Knoxville located in Tennessee?

Knoxville sits in East Tennessee along the banks of the Tennessee River. It serves as the home base for the University of Tennessee and acts as a central hub for regional pride. The city’s location ties directly to the “Settled in Knoxville” text on the shirt. It anchors the design in a specific place that fans recognize instantly.

Can I wear this for other occasions besides game day?

Yes, the vintage aesthetic works well for casual wear, tailgating parties, or showing regional pride year-round. The long sleeves make it versatile for fall and winter seasons beyond just football Sundays. You can pair it with jeans for a relaxed look or layer it under a flannel for extra warmth. It fits everyday life while keeping the connection to the Vols strong.
