Cover Your Eyes, Longhorns: The New UT Football Unis Are Horrible

txlnghrnshades.jpg
Cool, bro.
Nike is either the coolest thing to happen to college football or the absolute worst. Their attention-grabbing uniforms, which began with Oregon but are now spreading everywhere, look either hideous or hip, depending on your viewpoint.

And now the University of Texas is in the spotlight.

Photos and drawings are coming out about the new UT unis. The official word is that they will be used only for practice, but they seem like trial balloons for eventual game use and, of course, sales to the public. And some of them are apparently just "concept drawings," never to be seen IRL.

From the UTexasEquipment twitter account:

Our first reaction is the results lean towards the "hideous" side of the scale, but your mileage might vary.

It's like a cross between the jersey from the 1975 version of Rollerball and a Philadelphia Flyers jersey way to go Nike

This Aggie says, Please, Horns, don't ruin a good thing. Texas' unis are iconic. Those proposed unis wouldn't make good dishrags.

Nike has some very good designers.  Apparently they were on vacation during this project.

No chance these see an actual game any time soon.  The alumni would shit eggrolls.

 Actually NIKE pays UT for the right to have their brand associated with the Longhorns

True, but can't UT at least demand a modicum of style?
