The University of Texas Longhorns football program will wear its iconic Burnt Orange jerseys for a road game for the first time in 55 years, according to a report from Longhorns Wire. The historic uniform change marks a significant departure from tradition for one of college football's most recognizable programs.
Texas has traditionally worn white jerseys for away games, reserving the Burnt Orange tops for home contests at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The last time the Longhorns donned Burnt Orange on the road dates back to 1971.
The decision comes as college football programs increasingly explore alternate uniform combinations and special jersey designations for select games. Texas joins a growing list of schools breaking from traditional home-and-away uniform conventions.
Specific details regarding which road game will feature the Burnt Orange jerseys have not been announced. The Longhorns' 2026 schedule includes several high-profile away matchups that could serve as the occasion for the historic uniform debut.
