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! 🤘🏽
Black uniforms should be happening this isn’t 20 years ago... tradition. Is cool but kids want to look good too. Changing uniforms doesn’t change the education(the biggest reason kids come to Texas) nor the athletic(Texas being at the top) . We should catch up on times.
