winghaz 1 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varsity Blue 51 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grubstreet 99 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tBBP 2,394 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spearhead 54 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? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was usually the more detailed head-on longhorn. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A true classic that should remain for year and years to come. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
