Long before Jeremy Pruitt took the stage as UT's new head football coach on Thursday , he was already being introduced to fans across Knoxville.
From the Neyland Stadium jumbotron to your cell phone - pictures of him decked out in orange and white were everywhere.
The transformation from Crimson Tide to the perfect shade of orange happens right here on the UT campus.
"The audience and everyone who follows Tennessee Football is waiting on that one image, because that's when it's officially, official,” said Tennessee Athletics Creative Services Assistant Director Valarie Parks.
Jeremy Pruitt has been named the 26th head coach of the Tennessee football program.

Hours before Pruitt made it to campus Thursday morning the athletics graphics design team was making sure he fit right in. Once he made it to campus there was a photo-shoot, plus getting a very important signature.
"We also had to get his signature to put out recruiting stuff letters from him so we had him write it down,” said UT Athletics graphics designer Evan Ford.
Other graphics take a little more work - like editing a shot of Pruitt on the sidelines so that his jacket has orange details instead of crimson.
It's a long day for the graphics team, but it's rewarding knowing what their work means to Vol fans everywhere.
"The graphic is the first thing people see on our website, on our official Twitter and so it's inevitably part of that excitement so it's cool seeing people being like of I’m so happy Coach Pruitt is here and there's our graphic,” Ford said.
