illini1 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I was watching the Texas scrimmage on Fox College Sports. All of the players were wearing practice jerseys except for the quarterback. He was wearing a black jersey. At first I thought it was just a practice jersey in a different color so he wouldn't get hit, but when the did a close up of him I saw it was a game jersey. It had the stripes on the sleeves and the patches that the regular game jerseys have. Have they worn these in a game in the past? Are they going to be wearing them this year?

TFoA Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 That's the QB jersey. Most teams have red QB jerseys, some have green QB jerseys, the Longhorns have black QB jerseys because Vince Young wanted to wear it, apparently. As they are practice jerseys, don't look forward to seeing these in a game any time soon, although Vince Young heavily campaigned for it while he was there.

As they are practice jerseys, don't look forward to seeing these in a game any time soon, although Vince Young heavily campaigned for it while he was there. This was not a practice jersey. I saw the other jerseys the players were wearing. They were the basic practice jersey. They were white and orange. They were very plain. They did not look anything like their game jerseys. The quarterback jersey however looked exactly like their game jersey. They had the same fit, the same stripes on the sleeves, it said Texas on the front, and even had the Big 12 patch on the front (the same patch most NCAA teams wear with the appropriate conference name). Nike apparently made these for Texas to wear in games, but they have not worn them as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are not the same jerseys that the quarterbacks wore in the scrimmage. They are missing the Big 12 patches and the sleeve stripes. I'm not saying they're going to wear them or have worn them in the past. I'm just saying that Nike has apparently made black game jerseys for them to wear if they wanted to. I wish I could find pics of the scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitedawg22 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Vince Young wanted to wear it, apparently.

They've worn them for a while, before Vince got there. VY just wanted to wear them in games. He was informed that it wasn't going to happen.They're not game uniforms, they are the established QB practice jerseys. Texas won't wear black as long as Darrell Royal breathes, and probably not after that. The other thread covers it. Royal (the Dean Smith of Texas football) flipped out when Reebok added black trim to the coach's apparel back in the mid 90's.Texas wears screened numbers on their game uniforms anyway, not twill. They are not Nike game uniforms, no matter how different they look. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Yeah, it doesn't really fit with the white helmet and pants. Texas' all white set is perfection, and that's coming from someone who loathes the all white (helmet, jersey, pants, socks, shoes) look. What's funny though is that while McCoy's (right) looks like a game jersey, Jevan Snead's (left) clearly looks like a black practice jersey.I think we know who the starter is going to be. It's the guy with the cooler jersey! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.
