Huskers Wrangle with the Longhorns

Posted on October 15, 2010 | Leave a comment

In a state where rows of corn line the highway and fill the landscape just beyond fence lines in many neighborhoods, the big football game of the season takes place this weekend. The Texas Longhorns travel to Big Red nation to meet the Nebraska Huskers as they celebrate Red Out Around The World.

UT has not always been known for their ‘burnt orange’ color. The first mentions of orange and white colors were ribbons worn by baseball players and the student body in the 1880’s to show school spirit. From the 1880’s to 1897, the colors of UT ranged from white and gold, orange and white, orange and maroon, gold and maroon and mentions of royal blue in the mix. Orange and white became the official colors of UT by popular vote. UT football coach Clyde Littlefield brought “burnt orange” to the playing field in 1928 by ordering dark fade resistant orange uniforms for the team. The burnt orange color was revised yet again in the early 1960’s.
