Dell won’t contribute to athletics just academics.

Okay, the question wasn’t about realism. I think you might be thinking too literally. As I interpreted it, the question is about which brand best exemplifies Texas.

    For this week’s OTF Sideline Debate, we asked the staff: If Texas had to pick a sponsor jersey patch, who would you go with and why? — I spent my first year at Texas in Dobie Dormitory. It was in

    I hope Texas holds out as long as possible before going the sponsor route. With that said, I get that we're in a different time in college sports. As a wise man once said, everybody's got a

I can’t see Texas ever going with something like Tesla or SpaceX because they’re so politically charged. I don’t think the Texas brand would welcome the sort of negative attention Elon brings. I say this as a huge Tesla/SpaceX fan.

 

If I’m thinking on building up the Texas brand and enhancing the national footprint, I suggest they do something like Dr Pepper or Ford.

 

But I’m a huge fan of HEB. The Astros do it. 

Ford?

I simply would not do it at all.

 

Most of us, including the OTF staff feel the same way but with the money being thrown around  and required to compete in multiple sports, there  may come a time when there isn’t a choice.

I would do it in a heartbeat for the right value/$. Want it to be very $$$ and global brand that everyone would recognize like the Longhorn logo. 
tesla/spaceX -but I understand the stupid politics that could stop that. 
at&t -global brand. 
dell- don’t think they will, maybe not a big enough brand for me like the 3 mentioned above. 
heb/Whataburger/Dr Pepper- all Texas brands, but not big enough.

I do think all teams will do it, it’s just a matter of time, that’s why I hope we do it. Kind of similar to one alternate uniform a year, maybe even for the spring game only because I know 17-year-olds like it.  We can put 10 patches on the spring game uniform, ha ha. 
 

TxTag. Tx born, can't escape, what could represent the spirt of Texas more than charging the public to use public infrastructure!

No way some of the OTF staff suggestions could pay the price. I'm looking at $5-$20 mill. So Dell or AT&T or ExxonMobil, come on down.

A black Tesla or SpaceX patch would look awesome. 
 

I just don’t think Texas would take on the inevitable pushback. But maybe I’m wrong.

I say no sponsors.  We’ve survived over 100 years w/o a sponsors and another 100+ years without one suits me just fine.   

None. Literally mother f**king none. You all can piss off about alternate jerseys too. Quit messing with perfection you miserable bums. 

I would go with either Hooters (or) The Texas Lottery.

Hooters because the Hooters patch would bring back the glory days of college football: bad decisions, questionable branding, and wings that taste like regret.

The Texas Lottery only because the Texas Lottery patch is perfect. Every season is basically scratching a ticket and praying for something other than “Try Again.”
