TTman7 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 1 hour ago, ETXfan16 said: Yeah all newcomers get a red stripe. When they "officially" become a member of the team, they get it removed. I know Ohio State does something very similar so I'm sure that's where Herman got it. It's definitely an internal thing. When I played football back in the day our coach did the same thing with the little stickers on the helmet. You earn your sticker, or in this case, lose your stripe. 1 hour ago, DB2point0 said: I think all freshman start with the stripes. They have to earn the right to take it off... or something like that Ah, okay. Gotcha! I'm glad nothing is changing. I'm an old-school, classics kinda guy.

JustAFan11 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Del Conte is very active on twitter and fans ask him very often about alternative uniforms for the football team. Every time he gives the same answer, “Texas football is iconic and there is no reason to change”. There was a poll floating around twitter earlier this week of the most recognizable sports logo, the Texas Longhorn finished 2nd to the Dallas Cowboys star. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, no. As an alum of UT-Austin I am against any "alternative" uniforms. Some uniforms and schools are beyond the need to do anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they do hire theyll have a ave a lot of applicants, especially when there’s not much pressure to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
