How cool must it have been for Britt Hager, given his status in our history, to get the call that his son had been voted team captain?

I thought the same when I heard that. Gotta be one of his proudest moments.

I'm asking because if there is, I would love to be able to do that—sounds like a real timesaver.

You heard wrong.  He was flagged for a false start.

[DeweyCox 366]

I am told he was flagged for out-of-bounds contact, after he’d just went for two.

No, it was an illegal block in the back.

You've never heard of secretaries? Personal assistants? Pool boys?

Austin Allsup on scholarship now. 

This shit's smart. Great publicity for the program that puts us in a positive light. Herman wants to build up the walk-on program and I bet this could go a long way. Show guys that if they come and work hard they have a legitimate chance to earn a scholly in a couple years. For guys like Brockemeyer (minus the legacy) that could be a deciding factor. I won't be surprised if we give out a couple more before the season starts.

Agree.  Klatt is terrific and he is a nice guy, to boot.  I like Brock Huard pretty well, too.  When Rod Gilmore is on the tv crew my wife hides the knives.

Agreed, totally, on Klatt. Gilmore sucks as you say. I have no opinion of Huard.

Very cool. I went to Westlake, but live in Dallas and don’t watch the games. My dad (67) still goes to all the games and told me all about Breck (and Sam). 

I did however sit next to Britt on a plane between Dallas and Austin (heading to El Paso, whoops). Could not have been a nicer dude, and this was when Breck was in HS still. I loved me some neck pad Hager back in the day. 

His reaction was one of appreciation, not nonchalance, as one who’d been there before. I thought that was cool.

I aggree

i lean more to the original artwork for it embraces more what the surly is about with a glance.

But FCB fer sure!!!

After messing around with various logos today, (which is much way more fun than working) I couldn't help but agree with TexasTroll. So, I created an entirely new and ownable logo. It's my personal fave. Also, I want to give a shout-out to @LonghornDesigns, who sent in some nice illustrations. Here is a lit Dri-Fit version: 

 

I would like to produce these and make them available on an Etsy page to offset Surly operating costs and build the brand.

Feel like these would run into Texas's trademark real quick and you would get a nasty letter, but I would totally buy one.

I would buy one of these, love the design but I really don’t like the tongue. What kind of pissed off longhorn puts it’s tongue out?

How? Unless the university doesn't allow anyone to use burnt Orange without getting a cut, I see nothing...not even a Texas reference. I mean literally the only thing they could go after is the "horns" and color, but that's pretty iffy.

I am not a lawyer so I don't know but I imagine a burnt orange longhorn along with the Horns would be enough for Texas to have a case.

[TreatyOak 16149]

 

Not sure how much they will run, @Vertigo, I will research and post here. 

I agree with @ousux These are not an infringement. In fact, the eyes are from a very famous vintage cartoon character.

[TreatyOak 16149]

In one of the funniest copyright infringement cases, a record store in Milwaukee once did an ad that stated "We have all of Michael Jackson's music, from when he was a poor, black child to a rich, white man." Just to make sure MJ's legal team didn't miss it, they  mailed it to them. They eventually had to pull it down, but they got a ton of free publicity from it.

I like this design, but not sure about the tongue.  Replacing the tongue with a cigar might be an improvement.  Cigars are just socially unacceptable enough to fit just right with the Surly vibe.

In all seriousness though, would definitely buy before the cease and desist

[Victor Lazlo 1757]

Yeah, I’ve been sued before for Trade Dress infringement.

I’d consult with the Surly legal team before forging ahead with that.

I love the logo, but not sure you’d get away with it. Good luck.

The girl or the shirt???

im no lawyer and don’t claim to be

yet

im haveing a hard time wrapping my thoughts that a white teeshirt ( watch out fruit of the loom!!)

with a custom artwork cartoon logo of a bull being mad is infringement.

The burnt orange color I get.

but then agian

the Steve Patterson age may have deep tendrals

I was also thinking perhaps the out-breath from the nostrils indicating surliness.

The T-shirt feedback & process of getting them done is bringing flashbacks of trying to get a Shaggy Houston HH to happen.

I’d get rid of the tongue and add nostril smoke like Hook’emHooah said.  But I’d definitely buy one and wear it proudly on game day.  Just don’t put it on some Gildan/Russell piece of shit shirt.  

And F.D.D
