Last fall students in the Department of Consumer Services Management were challenged by the Department's Advisory Board to develop new UT products. Out of this effort the idea emerged to establish a new tradition and create a signature plaid fabric that is uniquely UT. Retail students in the Advanced Product Development course developed a wide range of designs.  The selection committee is chaired by Pat Johnson, wife of UT President Joe Johnson. The committee, including UT alumni, current students and staff, selected the top four contenders.

The Tennessee Volunteer Tartan Winner was unveiled on April 17th at European Splendor, the spring fundraising gala of the Department of Consumer Services Management. With over 7,200 votes cast, Tartan #2 was selected as the winner.
