take this for what its worth. i dont buy the notion of "practice jerseys". i'm sure nike offers UT mockups of new jerseys every single year, and UT likely turns them down. the fact that these were 1) embraced by the coaching staff 2) introduced to the team and 3) made public on the webpage makes me think that these very well could be a legitimate possibility of seeing gameday use. again, i'm not sure if anything i just typed is true...but i dont know that i buy the "practice jersey" stuff.
Mack talked about these on LHN. He said that they would do this for practice because the kids were excited about it. But the gameday attire will not change.
I just got over the stomach flu there there were things flying out of both ends in a PROJECTILE manner. Seeing these caused the same reaction....
Black.... The University Colors are Burnt Orange and white. These are atrocious. I hope they never see the light of day. Unfortunately Nike is catering to the younger Generations that would find this appealing. I for one Hope they never see the actual Game Day Field.
Looks like a junior graphics designer on Macao was told to google "Football Mack Texas Brown" and slap something together in 15 minutes or face termination -- predictably bilious results. And this after Nike did a superb job with our throwback unis 3 years ago IMO. Hell, liked those over our standard dress.
All this consternation about the practice uniforms. I can't believe nobody has commented on walk-on WR Michael Wheeler's big ups. Dudes gonna be huge for us! _____________________________________

The players liked some and didn't like some. But, as Priest said, it builds excitement for the players. When asked about tradition, he said (and I am paraphrasing) a lot of tradition left when aggy left and this isn't hurting iit. It's about the players and if it gets the players excited, I'm all for it.
It seems we have now thoroughly discussed practice uniforms. Overkill, or are we just in the throws of another long offseason?
