I would think only Kentucky and A&M would even be in the discussion for the houndstooth thing.

Hope that's just a prototype for UT and they didn't invest a lot in stocking warehouses

I knew the bear wore a suit. It'd be cooler if all gumps wore suits instead of that hideous houndstooth

The original houndstooth hat was given to Coach Bryant while he was at Alabama by then owner of the NY Jets, Sonny Werblin in 1965 just prior to drafting Joe Namath. Prior to then, Coach Bryant wore a plaid hat or a baseball hat. This would explain why UK and aTm make no use of the houndstooth.

I would wager that if any tenn fan showed up to a tenn game wearing this hat, they might get fricking beaten to death.

Yea, you're talking out of your arse, and have never been to a UA game.

First off, while houndstooth is famous because the Bear wore it, since then it's almost exclusively worn by females. Now while you might catch a guy wearing a houndstooth hat every now and then, you wont catch a guy wearing a shirt, shorts, etc.

The girls love it because it's a fashion thing, dresses, purses, etc. Very few guys sport the hat, and I've never seen a male wear it anywhere else on their clothing.

Question, do you even attend college football games?

When you say that you never see men wear houndstooth clothing, you must be talking about every day clothing right? I have pics on my phone of grown arse men wearing houndstooth pants in TTown in Nov and on Bourbon St in Jan. they also have pom poms hanging out of their back pockets. I'll text the pics to someone that posts here if you want and get them to upload them.


Eta: If you have never seen the men in the houndstooth pants, you must not attend many UA games.

Cool, you snapped pics of the two 'necks that sport them.

For real? I've seen barn fans do the exact samething in AU. Are you seriously going to act like you guys dont use shakers? You're shitting me.

I must not, just the countless games that I attended before I went to school at UA, then all the games I went to during my 5.5 years in Ttown, and all the games after.
