Not too bad on price (less than $60) and one reviewer claims it to be "1970's Texas Burnt Orange." Will post pics when it arrives.

Met a guy at a Texas Game that did this with a Rolex Sub 16610, he had a custom rootball dial and insert and it looked good.

IMO most of the Nike Texas catalog is trash, especially for being the #1 seller in merch. Most of the recent stuff I’ve wanted to buy is team exclusive only.

Got this yesterday from my boys for Christmas. They came up with the idea on their own and had it custom-made. So awesome. They get me. Nice. Little misty in here ...

Did the real jersey have the wrong shade of orange?

[mdleast 8388]

I feel like this should be common knowledge here but Texas' "burnt orange" has changed (gotten darker) over the years.

based on how Ebbets Field does their historical jerseys that is based on a real one.

per Alcalde story, during WW2, the dyes went off the market (they were made in Germany) which led to using a lighter Orange dye
 

Quote

But during World War II, when everything from chocolate to typewriters was rationed, Texas Orange dyes went off the market—they had been produced for O’Shea in Germany. The Horns switched back to a lighter dye, another yellowy orange that the regents made official on UT’s seal in 1950.

It stayed that way for less than a decade, when a young coach and former Oklahoma quarterback named Darrell K Royal showed up on the Forty Acres.

evidently the orange color was on the seal in 1950 but can't find that exact seal quickly.

here is a pin from the 50s that looks like the same color of (lighter) orange:

 

looking around at vintage pennants from "circa 1950" the orange seems to match up

https://www.etsy.com/listing/962503811/vintage-university-of-texas-at-austin

someone scanned this article from the 2011 Alcalde that shows some of the color differences from 60 to 61: https://oak.ucc.nau.edu/jib2/longhorn/Bowie - Longhorn Logo Turns 50.pdf

the line is DKR "burnt orange" and it looks like the color on the 1960 media guide is "texas orange"

this is a long way of saying that in 1941 that was the real orange and with how EF does their work, they based it on original stuff vs what's the "right" color now.

No. Amazon says between the 30th and the 4th. I'll take pics in different lighting (something that same reviewer warned about) but if it's truly brown, it'll be returned.

I’m aware of the historical changes to burnt orange over the years.

Doesn’t change the fact that jersey is hideous.

This is a damn comfy sweater. I didn’t realize it was comfort colors when I put it on my Christmas list (wasn’t looking closely and figured it was dark gray) but no matter. Look good, feel good.

im not defending the look, i am saying it is a period appropriate color of orange and it's a period copy of the 1941 Texas Longhorns road baseball jersey. you are the one who said it is the "wrong" color of orange...when it isn't based on the time period and how EF does business.

So just got home and it came early...

Obviously, it's too late to see it in natural lighting, so I tried taking pics in different light settings. I think the middle pic is the best representation. 

Verdict-- I'm going to return it. I don't see any sort of orange in person. Maybe natural light would show something different, but that defeats the purpose of the purchase.

Adidas shoes last years on my huge feet. Nike shoes fall apart at exactly 12 months.

He did, and I bought some correct burnt orange gear in 2 of his sporting goods stores in my leaner years, mostly the one that was on West Anderson Lane in Shoal Creek Plaza.  The building is still there; it changes tenants like crazy.

On the l left is my old insulated bag, and on the right is my new one. Anyone notice a difference? Should I tweet CDC?

 

And to those up thread who point out the lighter, brighter orange back in Brat’s early retirement days, remember that it was DKR who darkened the orange to (allegedly) make it harder for defenses to see which player was carrying the ball on option plays.

Some time back I had seen ads for this company, and recently I'm saw their ads again, notably with Colt McCoy wearing this short-sleeved shirt that I bought:

It's an Austin company, Poncho Outdoors, and it's Texas-themed gear since the short-sleeve is named The 1969, and long-sleeve version is called The 2005:

I didn't buy the long-sleeve, but I did buy a couple of their corduroy long-sleeve shirts in other colors.

can't recommend them or their shirts enough. really quality, they last well and i like both the SS and the LS. their flannels are pretty awesome too, we just don't live in a place where you need them THAT often. i can't speak to their denim or corduroy ones

they are great shirts.

one tip - when you dry them, just hang dry and tuck the zipper and pull (or just remove the pull entirely) under the little overhang at the top so it is hidden when it dries. makes a big difference when it comes to the pull showing or not

I like those. I’ve emailed to see if the sleeves on the 2005 are long enough to be viable for me. 
 

I have about 50 of these logo T-shirts in various states of disintegration. If I could get them in this darker orange, I’d buy a couple dozen right away. Oh well.

I don't know why I didn't buy the long-sleeve, but now that I'd seen the short-sleeve I probably will get it.
