I was never that upset by the letters touching each other in the endzone, but now that they don’t I realize what we’ve been missing this entire time.

I always thought of it as a wordmark logo specific to the football team and kinda liked it. I love this newer look and it’s uniformity with the Texas athletic brand, but will forever  associate the former with Ricky Williams and the awesome Mack Brown years.

Wear the 1969 throwbacks every home game. Problem solved.

You mean these that are also the wrong color?

They fixed the spacing on Longhorns, now just remove the state of Texas backdrop and I'm happy

[BurntOrange&White 39486]

Did they change out the padding on the walls on the sides of the field? 

[GTX Horn 1707]

It would look great if the state was white like the Erwin Center. If it’s kept as a “shadow” silhouette it’d look better with just the Longhorn logo. Just my 2 cents

[TheAuditor 1030]

Is the home sideline darker than rest of field?  Or am I old,  Or both?

Yeah, I think CDC addressed it on twitter and said it wasn't done/permanent

[nivek3 83]

Looks like they're removing the temporary orange barriers and replacing them with new fencing.

Camera trick. There are pics up thread from inside the stadium and the colors are the same on both sidelines.

Probably, just referencing this tweet as his response to someone saying the same thing

Same color.

I feel like the shadow Texas is something that will look shitty on pictures but when you see it in person it will look a lot better.

So is the actual new field darker orange or did they fix the sideline walls???

[Reese Bennett 3604]

Shadow Texas makes me think of a Rolls Royce with vanity plates--not necessary and actually detracts. We are the University of TEXAS Longhorns playing in Austin, TEXAS.  Shadow Texas seems redundant and just clutters up an iconic field. It's not like we're one of those states that nobody knows the shape of like the blob that is South Carolina or weird-ass West Virginia. Everyone knows the shape of Texas. It's on everything from ranch gates to convenience stores. We already know we're from Texas.

It's a camera trick apparently, but it's weird how the darkness starts at a perfect right angle to the rest of the field. I can't figure out what'd cause that.

Scroll up and show the new NEZ scoreboard going in if you’re actually on site.

I'm so confused about whether the state outline is supposed to be lighter, darker, or the same as the rest of the field. Apparently the shade and shine of this shit changes drastically depending on the angle you view it at. On the webcam it's darker, here it looks lighter except maybe the same as the far sideline where it's not shiny af.

Now my mind is completely blown. 

[CycleTex87 2953]

I dig it.  Looks like a championship carpet.

[JFKFC 4878]

Every camera angle looks radically different. There are 12 shades of every color. I don't know what the fuck is going on any more. 

[MAUFRAIS 6571]

Now they’re painting the whole thing beige! Fuck!

Cool. I can't wait until they start posting vids of the new back of the house improvements.

Damn Saharan dust…

[Vito Andolini 9086]

Looks like each of the infill options begins with a tan-colored layer. I suspect we bought the best available, didn’t investigate too closely, maybe Cryogenic?

It will keep aggy from doing the same and make them rage about it. Hell, if we take TEXAS off the front of our jersey aggy would do it...with a tiny Agricultural & Maintenance logo below. Thats reason enough for me.

[stork642 4498]

Pretty sure CDC is fucking with us for his own entertainment.  Good on you CDC.  I pretty sure the entire field is a giant LCD screen that can be manipulated during the game to give the home team the advantage.  Is it just me or does the field seem much wider when we have the ball.

It’s still there if you zoom in. The surrounding area has just been brushed in a direction that makes it blend in currently.
