The vintage-style uniform, helmet and cleats pay homage to the Aggies’ look dur- ing the 1939 National Championship season. Texas A&M’s helmet, produced in concert with Hydro Graphics Inc. and Riddell, is dark ma- roon with a hydro film leather-like texture fea- turing wing and cross graphics created using high-resolution photographs of an actual hel- met worn by the 1939 team. The helmet also features simulated stitching, wear-and-tear and raised ear protection painted by hand via HGI artists on each shell to further enhance the appearance of a vintage helmet. Each helmet shell carries a stenciled AMC brand, referencing the “Agricultural and Me- chanical College of Texas” as Texas A&M was known in 1939, on the rear portion of the hel- met just as the original version did 75 years ago. This brand signifies each helmet was custom-made for Texas A&M. More than six staff hours went in to create the unique ap- pearance of each individual helmet. The maroon TECHFIT jersey features a commemorative patch and that were inspired by those on the original 1939 Aggies’ uniform and feature individual rips and tears to signify wear and to enhance authenticity. To com- plete the head-to-toe look, the Aggies will wear adidas cleats designed in a dark brown throwback style with a premium tumbled leather upper and metal eyelets. Texas A&M’s new uniform incorporates TECHFIT Shockweb technology. The adidas TECHFIT Shockweb uniform is the only true compression uniform system in the industry. Shockweb fits tighter to the body, making play- ers more difficult to tackle. TECHFIT Shockweb is lighter, helping to make the player fast and increasing his range of motion to support the athlete's performance at the highest levels. 2 FOLLOW THE AGGIES: AGGIEFOOTBALL @AGGIEFOOTBALL @COACHSUMLIN @AGGIEFBLIFE @TAMUGAMEDAY 37TH ANNUAL BURGESS BANQUET 2014 SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN Six Texas A&M athletic greats, two dedicated Ag- gies and a legendary Brigadier General will be induct- ed into the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association Hall (#9-AP/#9-HC) @SOUTH CAROLINA Aggies open season road win over No. 9 Gamecocks of Fame and Hall of Honor at the 37th annual Burgess Thursday, Aug. 28 | 5 p.m. ... second top 10 road win of Sumlin’s A&M career ...
