Back to the College Football Uniforms
Give them credit.
The Bobcats are trying to become relevant in a football-happy state, at least from a uniform and apparel design perspective.
Texas State unveiled three new helmets prototypes after the 2012 season including the program’s first maroon shell with speckled details in nearly 20 years and a gray alternate. The Bobcats have donned gold shells with a crimson facemask and logo since 2003.
Current Adidas uniforms, unveiled with a redesign in 2012, include a “TEXAS STATE” wordmark across maroon, gold and white tops as well as scratch-like marks on sleeves and pants. The Bobcats often go monochrome maroon at home and all-white on the road.
Prior to a contract with the three stripes, the Bobcats were Nike based and had threads that were similar to Florida State’s garb without the tribal pattern accents. Pants featured wide stripes that ended in a point at the knee while sleeves were multi-colored with a bobcat logo instead of the current claw marks.
One of Adidas’ neatest additions is the recent maroon base layer incorporated into Texas State’s home whites. The dri-fit t-shirt ends at the elbow and has program-specific graphics that match helmets and pants.
