Texas A&M unveils new basketball uniform, spurs swift reaction on social media

Texas A&M basketball is in the middle of a strong season in the ultra-elite SEC and is inside the top 10 nationally on the AP Poll. However, the Aggies took one unexpected L on social media Friday.
That loss came when Texas A&M took to X (formerly Twitter) to unveil a brand-new alternate uniform. It’s a unique look, to say the least, but one that was not well-received across the platform.
For starters, it’s an all-grey look for the Aggies which features white and maroon accents — but in an unusual way. Instead of a centered school or mascot name and number, the uniform splits the front emblems.
A maroon “T” is the emblem on the right front chest while the left midriff area features a white number. The side panels feature white, maroon and grey accents, but it is likely the un-even front of the uniform that creates some unpleasant reactions on social media.
Here’s the uniform:
It’s not immediately clear when the Aggies will break out these new threads on the court. If it’s this weekend, that will be a home game against Arkansas and new head coach John Calipari with Saturday’s tip-off set for 12 pm ET on ESPN. A&M is on a 4-game winning streak and is 2 games back from the SEC-leading teams, Alabama and Auburn, entering the weekend.
