Bouj Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Worst. Throwback. Ever.There is a reason they got rid of those things in the first place. If those things are worn on the field at the Horseshoe, Texas should just forfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 They Texas uniforms are just fine the way they are. The numbers work for Alabama since that's all they use. You don't -- for the long term -- need both a logo and the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grish Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 They should move Bevo to the front forehead and just have the numbers on the side... Texas uniforms fall into the catagory of "So ugly they are cool"...least that is one man's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 What's so horrible about them? A bit cluttered, yes, but far from the worst things I've seen put n helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbman21 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 For traditionalists this is the look that most Longhorn fans associate with the "glory years".I dont see what all the uproar is about,especially if it's only for one game.Growing up in Arkansas AND Texas I've seen those old game films between the 'Horns and 'Hogs and THIS is what I always saw,so for those of us actually old enough to remember the old Southwest Conference then this is'nt that big of a thing and certainly not the worst thing ever put on a helmet.

awuestenfeld Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm just trying to figure out what the decal above the state of Texas decal is... anyone know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 WTF?! Not awful, but I say leave well enough alone.I just e-mailed our local sports station the link. I'll let you know if they have an answer.The other decal might be the Big XII logo...or the BCS decal from last year. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 From yesterday's Austin American-Statesman:NEW LOOK HORNS"The Longhorns will wear throwback uniforms for the season opener. Players will wear numbers on their helmets and will wear old-school uniforms, an idea that has drawn a favorable response from several players. 'We wanted to do this as a tribute to the great players that have played here in the past,' Mack Brown said. Vince Young suggested the team should not limit the throwback look to one game. 'I told our equipment manager we should do it for every game,' Young said. 'I like the way it looks.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
