Texas shows off new SEC patches on football uniforms

The Texas football program is getting ready for its first season in the SEC and a significant chunk of the equation is simply looking the part. The Longhorns will do just that.

In fact, the alterations to jerseys are already being made in Austin.

On Wednesday afternoon, Nick Harris, who covers the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL Draft for DallasCowboys.com, posted a picture of the new Texas football uniforms, which now include an SEC patch on the breastplate. Check it out below.

Texas will have lofty expectations heading into the SEC, coming off one of the most successful seasons in recent program history in 2023. The Longhorns reached the College Football Playoff, falling in the semifinal to Washington 37-31 in a thrilling contest.

But the Longhorns have a lot of firepower returning, starting with quarterback Quinn Ewers. Ewers is coming off a season in which he threw for 3,479 yards and 22 touchdowns.

He’ll be one of the early front-runners for the 2024 Heisman Trophy.

The Longhorns have also added considerable talent through the NCAA transfer portal, some that Ewers will rely on in his pass-catching corps. Oregon State receiver Silas Bolden, Alabama receiver Isaiah Bond and Alabama tight end Amari Niblack should all prove bona fide weapons.

Of course, the transition to the SEC won’t be easy. The schedule promises to be a bear.

And, in fact, the schedule gets tough before Texas even gets into the conference portion of the slate. A road trip to Michigan in the second week of the season will be a very good early test of Texas’ mettle.

From there, Texas will face games against Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida and Texas A&M (on the road). Get through the gauntlet relatively unscathed and the Longhorns will have earned the right to be a College Football Playoff team, in all likelihood.

In any case, Texas’ entry to the SEC is right around the corner. Now the Longhorns have the jerseys to prove it.
