I believe to the contrary my friend .. We are one of a handful of programs who are so steeped in tradition that we shouldn’t change because it’s cool and the flavor of the month .. what’s cool is that we don’t and we honor our past and embrace who we are… Texas! 🤘🏽 https://t.co/NKoby08f1w

Should Texas bust out black/alternative uniforms once a year? My opinion is this:
It’s not my call to make. It also shouldn’t be Athletic Director Chris Del Conte’s call to make either.
The team captains should vote each year on whether they want to do it, and if they do, which game to wear them. It’s that simple. Because if the team finds motivation or an advantage in going all black unis, then I’m all for it.
On the same hand, if the boys want to stay traditional and go classic unis all season, I’m a veteran in class, so, that’s just fine be me.
But for all the hills to die on as an Atheltic Director, Del Conte wants to die on the no alternative uniform hill? Interesting.
PS: I asked my girlfriend her thoughts on black uniforms. “No, black is Halloween and OSU.” House divided.
One game out of the whole year is not going to change any tradition. It would only add to it.
