One of the longer running jokes throughout the cavernous Barking Carnival boardroom is my obsession with a seemingly small sartorial quirk on the Texas Uniforms.
It’s those damn #’s on the top of the shoulder pads.
It’s an on and off hang-up as Texas has gone this route a relatively few years over its storied history. I’ve tried to appeal to the traditionalists in the Athletic Department by delving into the history the development of the Texas Brand. It wasn’t by happenstance that Darrell Royal chose the Longhorn Look back in the 1960’s
I’ve appealed the bottom line by trying to persuade Coach Herman that it was in his best interest to remove the numbers.
