August 26, 20187 yr Austin Allsup on scholarship now. This shit's smart. Great publicity for the program that puts us in a positive light. Herman wants to build up the walk-on program and I bet this could go a long way. Show guys that if they come and work hard they have a legitimate chance to earn a scholly in a couple years. For guys like Brockemeyer (minus the legacy) that could be a deciding factor. I won't be surprised if we give out a couple more before the season starts.

I went to Westlake, but live in Dallas and don’t watch the games. My dad (67) still goes to all the games and told me all about Breck (and Sam). I did however sit next to Britt on a plane between Dallas and Austin (heading to El Paso, whoops). Could not have been a nicer dude, and this was when Breck was in HS still. I loved me some neck pad Hager back in the day. His reaction was one of appreciation, not nonchalance, as one who’d been there before. I thought that was cool.

After messing around with various logos today, (which is much way more fun than working) I couldn't help but agree with TexasTroll. So, I created an entirely new and ownable logo. It's my personal fave. Also, I want to give a shout-out to @LonghornDesigns, who sent in some nice illustrations. Here is a lit Dri-Fit version: I would like to produce these and make them available on an Etsy page to offset Surly operating costs and build the brand. Edited August 26, 20187 yr by TreatyOak

Unless the university doesn't allow anyone to use burnt Orange without getting a cut, I see nothing...not even a Texas reference. I mean literally the only thing they could go after is the "horns" and color, but that's pretty iffy.

I am not a lawyer so I don't know but I imagine a burnt orange longhorn along with the Horns would be enough for Texas to have a case.
August 26, 20187 yr Not sure how much they will run, @Vertigo, I will research and post here. I agree with @ousux These are not an infringement. In fact, the eyes are from a very famous vintage cartoon character.

August 26, 20187 yr In one of the funniest copyright infringement cases, a record store in Milwaukee once did an ad that stated "We have all of Michael Jackson's music, from when he was a poor, black child to a rich, white man." Just to make sure MJ's legal team didn't miss it, they mailed it to them. They eventually had to pull it down, but they got a ton of free publicity from it.

August 26, 20187 yr Yeah, I’ve been sued before for Trade Dress infringement. I’d consult with the Surly legal team before forging ahead with that. I love the logo, but not sure you’d get away with it. Good luck. For reference: https://www.upcounsel.com/trade-dress-infringement

The burnt orange color I get. but then agian the Steve Patterson age may have deep tendrals
