New Practice Uniforms. You have to look at the last few pictures. They don't look that bad. I just don't want to see them on Saturdays.
I'll be 69 this summer, and have been a Horns fan since the 50's. I have a ticket stub from an aggie game that I paid $3 for, and sat in the end zone bleacher seats. I still remember watching Ed Hargett getting pummeled with great satisfaction. Now, I pay up to $80 and 90 dollars for 1 ticket (and I buy 2), but if I ever see my Horns, on game day, decked out in some of that crap that keeps falling out of Seattle............ I'll be watching golf, or mowing the yard on Saturdays! That will be the proverbial straw.
"We're talking about practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game, we're talking about practice." They're not bad. They're tricked up a little bit, but they have their roots in the Texas uniform we all know and love. They could be a lot worse (Oregon). I do like the Longhorn logo on the collar. I wouldn't mind seeing that added to the regular jersey. Let them have their fun with tricked-up uniforms in practice, but let's stick with that classic look on gamedays.
If they do see the field you can blame the players, because it looks like the Nike rep was asking for opinions
First of all, nobody has commented on ORANGE PANTS?! Second of all, people always say that incoming high-schoolers really like the Oregon/Maryland/TCU type uniforms. If this is the compromise Texas came up with to give them something gaudy to own but still look classy on game-day I'm all for it.
You don't mess with perfection. I wish Mack would tell Nike to take their "fashion sense" and go back to Oregon.
There's not too much of me, that is of a conservative/traditionalist slant...however, leave our uniforms alone! We don't need a gimmick! We are a class-act, and our uniforms do, and should always, reflect that! Change for change's sake, is just wrong!
It started with the black socks. We should have never allowed the black socks. Now comes the uniforms that go with the black socks. The black socks was the viral worm that resulted in the Boise State uniforms shown above.... Wait a minute...Bosie State uniforms??? ... Harsin!!
If those things ever see the field the person who made that call should tar'd and feathered and be sent to collieville forever. GROSS. WHY oh WHY mess with the best uni's in all of college football? One of our colors is NOT BLACK! Yeah that's going to go over really well in early September when it's 105 outside
Black socks and shoes are terrible. White shoes with Burnt orange trim. white socks with burnt orange swoosh or steer head....road and home.
