Already have a closet full of Burnt Orange shirts… some not so burnt. cleaned out the cabinet over the fridge where all these glasses have been sitting for 26 years.  Sets from 1962, 1963, 1965

I live in the upper Midwest, so cold weather stuff us a big part of my football watching gear. Last year I saw a cool vintage sweater on a B1G game, so I took a screen shot and asked Mrs. 10or if she

I went on the hunt for some UT gear over the past couple of days. Almost nothing is available in Houston as far as I can tell. Obviously it's right after Christmas and we're doing well but still I was shocked at the low inventory at places like Academy and Dick's. What little inventory they had was crap. If I was XS and 3XXL, I may have been able to buy a hoodie.

I also assume that Tillman Fertitta must own some compromising photos of the Academy CEO. There were endless UH inventory at Academy. Whoever is in charge of inventory mix should be fired.

But hey, Houston is most likely in the top 3 locations where UT grads/fans live. Why should I expect otherwise.  Rant over, any suggestions where to buy UT gear in Houston?

Thanks. Academy had an anemic selection only at the extreme sizes. University Co-op doesn't exist in Houston anymore. After searching online today, I discovered that the Dick's sporting goods in Katy had decent options, unlike their Galleria store.

Thanks. I was looking to buy before the weekend and waited too late for online shopping. My mistake with that.

Last few times I've gone to academy, I've trolled the manager pretty hard bc they have aisles upon racks of Aggy clearance  items and hardly anything in Longhorn gear.

Is that company owned by Aggies? They seem to stock all their locations as if they're in BCS.

Dumb sip, Aggy clearly doesn't have as many tshirts fans as TU. /s

Academy is the Official Sporting Goods Retailer of the SEC. Their HQ is in Katy. aggy is the only Texas team in the SEC right now. You can do the math.

Houston Kirby store is all a&m and UH. Longhorn stuff is an afterthought. 

Correct. I've never seen so much Coug High gear in my entire life. That includes the Coug High book store. There are corporate guidelines for displays, but I'm sure the manager has input and control of it.

It may be too late now, but often the discount stores (Target, etc) will have a selection of basic team gear and you can filter the search engine for stores in your vicinity and then further filter for size. Nothing fancy, but usually t-shirts and such.

I honestly wouldn't buy UT gear at Academy. The Co Op, Nike Store, UT Golf Club Pro Shop, Fanatics Team Store, and Peter Millar all have better stuff. Texas Standard and Rhoback have some cool burn orange shirts. 

I only really shop at Academy if I need a cheap lawn chair or cooler.

Do you Sue Patrick?

When you're in Austin, the store is at the corner of Burnet Road and North Loop.

https://suepatrick.com/university-of-texasother-texas-teams/

I never go to Academy for Texas apparel.

The availability for Texas gear has gotten worse when the Rooster Andrews stores all closed and fucking Fanatics.com (and the hundreds of sites pulling from the exact same inventory) gets 50 or something of each size, and that number is all they usually sell.

When you do actually find good quality/design amongst all of Fanatics' junk quality, once it goes out of stock, it hardly EVER is restocked.

Fanatics has DESTROYED the availability of fan apparel.

The ones I look at are the Co-Op, Sue Patrick, maybe you get lucky on ebay or the other sites where athletes sell their stuff, or luck-out at some non-Fanatics-linked online store like Rally House.

The UT Golf Shop seems great, but as I've trolled them, they only carry shirts and polos for narrow-shouldered tiny people (maximum 2XL sizes), and I was a thin teenager with shoulders that required size 3XL shirts in high school. How hilarious none of their shirts would fit most of the Texas Longhorns football team!  Lulz.

Yep, every Peter Millar shirt fits like how you described. I believe they stock most of the UT Golf gear. 
 

The Co-op should own this space, but they took the Nike money and regarded statues and haven’t looked back. We’re back to the 90’s where the UT merchandise market is very segmented. Might as well get Reebok involved again.

Back at the 90s without the 3 great Rooster Andrews stores.

Reebok, Adidas, and Puma! 

(Reebok's Texas affiliation ended about '89, IIRC.)

Why not? at this point! More supply is needed for both our fans and for our newfound SEC conference competition to buy and then deface.  Lulz.

The Texas merchandise is being choked into scarcity while demand increases, the way the Japan's Nintendo used to do with their video games.

I wish they’d license to whomever will give them money. Still no Vineyard Vines or Southern Tide polos.

If we win the national championship, I might Texas gear for every single day of the rodeo.

Guess we all need to complain to Del Conte about it.

Anyone on here talk to him regularly?

Girlfriend got me this Tommy Bahama 1/4 Zip for Christmas. Nice quality and fits me well, and I'm 6'5" with long arms. 

ST226342UN_15457_main?$main_detail_700$

 XL or XXL? I wear mens active wear like that from time to time and might have to snag that too. Lululemon has a blue one like that with a white longhorn that looked sharp. Sizes were too small at the coop.

as a reminder there are actual athletes selling their team issued stuff (which it's legal for them to do) on NARP and Players Trunk

https://theplayerstrunk.com/collections/texas (these usually have good stuff, have the least ive seen there in a long time at the moment. wonder if the CFP thing makes it more likely folks post items)

bumping this as the season just ended and folks are going in the portal. relevant for non Texas schools too, but nothing new on there over the last 30 days for Texas.

XL. I could have maybe gone XXL for arm length, but I find going to XXL usually fits me like a tent everywhere else. I usually wear the sleeves pushed up a little anyway.
