Texas Longhorns chooses ‘icy’ all-white uniforms for SEC Championship game vs. Georgia

The Texas Longhorns will wear ‘icy’ all-white uniforms in the SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs. UT is 5-0 in white this season.

The SEC has announced that Texas will wear their road white uniforms for the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. Officially, Texas calls the uniform combo ‘icy white.’

The Horns are a perfect 5-0 in the white uniforms this season. Texas has worn the whites for all four road games this year and for the neutral site game against the Sooners in Dallas. In fact, the three biggest wins for Texas this season has been in white – Michigan, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

UT is 6-1 in the home burnt orange and white combo. The lone loss came at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs.

“SEC Championship Game threads update: As the home team, Texas has elected to wear their white jerseys on Saturday. So Georgia will be in their traditional red jerseys worn at home,” a SEC spokesman said

There’s only one example of the Horns actually choosing to wear white and that happened last year. Texas was the top seed in the 2023 Big 12 title game but elected to wear white jerseys against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys chose to wear black. UT won 49-21.

Historically, some of Texas biggest wins have come wearing the all-white uniforms. Vince Young’s two signature wins, the Rose Bowl vs. Michigan and the Rose Bowl/National Title game against USC, both came while wearing white. The ‘Game of the Century’ against Arkansas in 1969 was in white. As mentioned, last year’s Big 12 Championship win came in all-white. Texas has worn white uniforms in all but two conference championship games appearance in its history.

The last time Texas beat Georgia, in the 2019 Sugar Bowl, UT wore white and UGA wore red.

The icy whites are also popular with non-Texas fans. Fox Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt was asked what his favorite uniforms in all of college football are and his instant response was, “Texas road whites.”
