Texas tceh is the only university that wears black uniforms
I forgot they owned the color black. Similar to Texas owning the letter T and the color white

I assume / hope there will be script Texas A&M or Aggies in the end zone.

If the kids and recruits like it, I am for it. However I do think the white lettering needs maroon outlines / shading so we have some maroon on the uni. and on the field, it looks sharp and has school color.

You wear ladies cut shirts?

No ATM in the endzones? Nothing? Meh, at least put a couple of the outlined state with aTm logo inside it.

Gonna be black and as the game progresses, you'll see white scrip "Aggies" start to appear. Supposed to be all done by halftime. Gonna be epic.

In honor of our proud historic railroad ties, the end zones will be tagged and look a jumbled railcar mess by the 4th quarter.

We engineered fast-growing albino rye grass that will be planted during midnight yell and will be just visible enough by half and in full glory by the time the band runs off the field.

Oregon has always been weird / crazy about their unis.

All those others black is a primary school color.

Penn State, USC, ND, Bama, Ohio State etc. would never do this.

But it is not awful, not like the FL wearing those "Gator skin" unis the one time we beat them in The Swamp (Dodson INT to seal it).

Ohio State has worn all black unis a few times. ND has worn some crazy alternates as well.

Why?

It's not for the Old Ags. It's for building hype which the younger crowd appreciates and enjoys. The players seem to enjoy it and that's a big reason why

If the younger crowd loves it so much then make move to have A&M Tech colors changed from Maroon and White to black and white. Personally, it looks hideous. And while you're at it make a move to change A&M's name to A&M Tech since the younger crowd want to be like Texas Tech.
Folks, I'm sure most of you don't give a damned about us older former students and what is dear to us. My question is if you want to be like tu or tech then transfer there and leave A&M as it was.

Variety is tradition at A&M... Class of '00 here and we had 7 variations of the logo. Even us "ol' timers" can wear a black and white tux once in a while. Having the football team change it up once a decade to all black for a game doesn't mean the younger crowd seeks to become Texas Tech. That's a ridiculous take.

A. Our endzones are black, which is a primary color for us. Not a tertiary color.

2. I had two winky faces. It was a joke.

A&M can become the trendy, fun school of Texas if the coaches play their cards right. The black out is a step in that direction

Was it just implied that being in school during the Fran years makes you an old timer?

It's not just back uniforms, which actually makes sense for Tech since one of the their colors actually is black. It's also that we beveled our logo after they beveled their logo. It's not that people think we are actually copying Tech, it's that it feels like we are, and we don't need to copy anyone, especially Tech. The real issue isn't black uniforms, or black end zones, or even the feeling that we are copying other schools. The issue is that between alternate uniforms, alternate end zones, the dj, the dance team, etc. many of us just miss old Kyle.

And I know some will say " but the students like it" and "it gets them so pumped up to be loud." But consider this, it's been at least 15 years since we had a game atmosphere controlled by the yell leaders and the band at this point. How do we know that old school Kyle wouldn't be novel to them and wouldn't pump them up? It worked for us, and they've never gotten to experience it. I think they should get the chance sometime.

Every generation of Ags can make this claim regardless of which generation theyre from. You graduated in 09'? Do you think Ags that graduated in 89' liked the way things transpired to 09? What about the Ags that graduated in 59?

Change. It will always happen. Its best to embrace as much as you can (unfortunately)
