winghaz Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Boy, that's some interesting stuff. I had no idea that burnt orange wasn't official until the '60s and that Darrell Royal was the man who changed the color from plain orange to burnt orange.

Varsity Blue Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Texas did wear burnt orange under Coach Jack Chevigny from 1934-36. One of the reasons Royal took Horns went back to it was that the darker shade hid the football better. I do wish Royal had left the center stripe on the UT helmets.Great article, thanks for posting it tuffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krona Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I like the stitching on the white hat near the bottom. It's an example of what could be done withe a little shading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Darrell Royal got it.There's a lesson to be learned by all who read that article, as well as every aspiring graphic artist and/or sports designer in the world today--shoot, even established veterans of the business. And, not that its going to happen in this current modern day and age dog-eat-dog world of one-upping-the-Joneses that's done pervaded college athletic aesthetics, but its a lesson the various apparel manufacturers could stand to learn, or re-familiarize themselves with, as well.Wonderfully written piece there. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 That logo and I were born the same year.Interestingly, the now famous Longhorn head was not the dominant image on UT apparel or fan gear until the 1980s. Growing up in Texas through the 1960s and 70s I never saw it used on anything. Instead, a variety of other Longhorn logos and designs were used. I wonder if that image became the dominant feature as a result of merchandise licensing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true classic that should remain for year and years to come. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
