I’m assuming you’re aware of and referring to the fact that Tarleton State uses TCU’s hand-me-down pants, removing the Horned Frog logo (still very noticeable) from old pairs, ironing the Texans’ logo over it, and then sending it to Stephensville. Nike material, indeed, does stand the test of time.
Well, even if true, that was a bit snarky. It's not like your guys never got orange hand-me-downs.
actually I doubt if we ever got any left over teasip gear as we have been around quite a while with our own stuff and at the time Texas took us in our colors were red/white/blue, maybe a few jock straps from a-m back in the early 1900's.

Ahhh, the Putz returns. Let's see....your latest asinine claim makes total sense...$26mil new stadium reno, $125mil new arena, and used hand-me-down unis. Real facts: Tarleton has been with Nike just as long as TCU, and was the first and ONLY D2 program to exclusively be all "swooshed up" back in 2017. And we rocked Adidas before Nike. Tarleton has NEVER skimped on unis, in any sport, and never will.
Actually, what I was referring to is the joke flying around that TCU just copied TARLETON's unis, not the other way around: https://x.com/CoachBeansTTU/status/1805369091131425225

Yeah, maybe in the 60s. Russell Athletic, Nike and Under Armor have each produced different custom uniforms (yes, including unique PANTS) for Sam Houston since at least 2001.
Snarky? I was only looking for clarification regarding his knowledge of Tarleton’s uniforms being TCU’s charity donations. I have no issue with Tarleton. Congratulations to them on their massive announcement today.

Where there is smoke, there’s just a bunch of smoke.
Congrats to Tarletoon becoming D1 like all the others before them. Big accomplishment.

Wow! That generic catalog set Tarleton got sent looks EXACTLY like TCU’s! They’re both purple and they’re both purple and… well they’re both purple. Hilarious!
TCU has had jerseys that look similar to that for decades. TSU, based on the few internet pictures on google that exist of your football program pre-2020, seems to change their uniforms every three years or so. P.S. all that Aggie money and less than $30m into the stadium? We put that kinda cash into one locker room. TSUS is doubling that for Bowers Stadium’s FBS makeover. Ya know, IT. If you’re ever looking for a big time team to cheer for, ya know, one that plays in bowl games and on TV and stuff, you could always head down 45 and live it up in Huntzvegas. Might even be able to hook you up with some ORANGE.

Yeah just further proof that attention to detail (or the truth) ain't really your thing.
Numbers on sleeves, overall design, "Icy Whites"...that's all Tarleton, bud.

TV numbers and road uniforms, man! I forgot how uniquely Tarleton TV numbers and white road uniforms were. Clearly a widely accepted view, as proof by this rando Tech fan’s tweet with 0 likes and 124 views! Will they consider suing?
“overall design” lol just change your colors to maroon and this isn’t an issue

This is a big deal for the Texans. Baseball would have played last month were it one year later, for example.

With the other announced plan of the core members of the WAC agreeing to stay put for a year or two, I hope things can quickly clear up and something stable is the result, whether that is the WAC, something else, or something new. You are our neighbor down the road and we both need some clarity and stability in a conference. My big question is can the WAC work out for us with a commissioner who seems too unaware of football, and that is a big question. We need a step up in quality in the WAC leadership. Secretly, I wish our other friend, you know who, would start football back up.
No, he needs to go yesterday

Nice to see Sammy H stayed in the WAC instead of venturing over with SHSU to CUSA
Poor fool has nothing better to do with his time since his football team is now officially a bottom feeder train wreck hoping for a three win season
