What are yalls thoughts on Branded Bills? I like the style, but can’t make up my mind on the rubber looking logo. Also the price is outrageous. But, the material (seen a buddies hat) is great.

The flat bill is fucking awful.

This is the correct take. The thing that separates UT unis from the other schools is our super clean burnt orange and white.  And there isn't a spec of black on it. A beautiful burnt orange shirt with black on it just ruins it. Orange Nike shoes with black on them are ruined.  C'mon this isn't difficult. Two colors. Burnt orange and white.  

This is because they hate Texas and want to change the colors--playing the long-game. They keep trying to nudge this wrong-think into accepting black.

Their starting point was hating Texas to begin with, think we're all  wrong/crazy/insane/evil for having burnt-orange and white school colors to begin with, don't care what Texas fans think, and will keep hammering away with changing the school colors to what they want long after we're all dead.

FUCK THEM CARPETBAGGERS TRYING TO CHANGE THE UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL COLORS!

Goddamit everybody shut the fuk up about flat brims being awful. Just about every hat comes off the display with a flat or less than rounded brim. Jesus titty fukn Christ. If you don’t like it there is a real simple process to turn a flat bill into a rounded bill. It’s not even a multi step process.

Either get a rubber band or don’t buy the muthrfukr. Geezus.

Next week this drops from Poncho

Added bonus is that if you buy it before October and the Longhorns win the national championship, it's free. (The markup for the Longhorn logo and "TEXAS" on the sleeve is substantial. I think that it's $125. Normally it's less than $100.)

I hope those are the Ultra Lite

Don't believe so. Their regular shirts are plenty breathable and "cool."

I’d like them to bring back the Longhorn flannel. I went back and forth on it until it was sold out.

100% this. They look flat in the ads but you can mold/shape them to your heart's content. I have a couple Branded Bill hats and I like them ok. They're on the pricey side but the logo on the side is no more obnoxious than '47' or a swoosh may or may not be.

I bought one of the burnt orange poncho shirts last year and the fabric is already pilling, don’t think they are worth $125.

That's disappointing to hear. Have you contacted them?

I have an ultra-lite Poncho shirt that I'm happy with but I wasn't a fan of the regular weight fabric version (The 1969?) I had before that.   I'd advise that their slim fit is a normal fit and their regular fit is a garbage bag fit.

Stop using a dryer and hang dry them instead. I still have shirts from 2021 that look great. No pilling at all. 

I have 2 normal ponchos that are still fine, but the 69 I have is pulling too, and I’ve never not hang dried all of them.

It's crazy how none of this shit used to exist, not that long ago (for us olds). I can remember wearing plain white t-shirts to games in 1997. I literally didn't own an orange Texas shirt, much less burnt orange shoes, etc. 

One of the great things (I know I know) Mack Brown did is put the fan base in Burnt Orange.  "Come early, wear orange , be loud" of something along those lines.  From 88-92 night games we all wore the same shit we were hitting 6th street in....Jeans, boots and button down basically or for day games it was a random white tshirt like you said.

Can confirm. Even fat guys should order slim fit.

As do people with awkwardly long torsos. Finding anything officially licensed in a Large Tall is akin to finding a good breakfast taco north of Dallas

So I had one made

IMG_3800.thumb.jpeg.0d9e6db8ce07f2a4f94611bc3e4e540a.jpeg

This is the handiwork of [NAME REDACTED]in [WHERE I LIVE]. It’s all chain stitched and is perfect, imo. Shirt is a 70’s, long tail pearl snap shirt that is Pantone perfect. Picked it up today to pack for Columbus, where I’m hoping it isn’t ruined by piss stains (not mine, mind you).

Mine's doing the same thing. Weirdly some of my other pancho's have not started to do that yet. Maybe it's a different material mix. 

I've got a mix of Nike polos, that pancho, and a Peter Millar black windbreaker. 

I like some of the new stuff from Roback (their hoodies, NOT their shirts), and I like the stuff from Mizzen and Maine quite a bit, but I balk at shelling out $130 bucks for a polo when there are so many other options. Criquet has some team stuff too, and I love Criquet, but as said, I've got plenty of other stuff already. If any of that helps you. 

the pilling happens all the fucking time on Poncho's solid color shirts but not usually on their patterned/checked shirts. saw you said above that you hang dry 100% of the time - same. it helps but their quality has gotten less good. now their patterned/checked a lot of the time start having this weird pulling thing on the upper right hand side

i've been told it doesn't happen on their ultralights as well but the one i have now isn't old enough to pill.

I have a solid blue/aqua colored one from when they first came out, no pilling. The checkered one also no pilling. The newest UT pearl snap, pilling.

I don't have an ultra-light, how do those compare to their regular shirts, if you don't mind?

thank you for the cropped view, the pic on my screen looked blurry so figured blowing it up would make it worse. appreciate it!

re: ultralight - theres a guy i know who wears almost exclusively poncho who flipped his whole wardrobe over to them because of the pilling issues he had with others

i only have the one but i also only really buy their pearl snaps. if they made ultralights in pearl snap i'd buy those exclusively. overall, really like it and if it doesn't pill (hasn't over a few months) that's a game changer. highly recommend it

I'm in the same boat as you, I'd really only want to buy pearl snaps going forward. Do they not have pearl snap ultralights? Is it just lighter shirts?

they are basically "lighter" with buttons, just one pocket, no logo and no big zip tech pocket thing.

no pearl snap just buttons. if they had pearl snaps id buy them all the time.

This will be my game shirt for the third or fourth season — however long since they released it.

Same. No reason whatsoever to make a change from this one for me.
