Dell won’t contribute to athletics just academics.

Okay, the question wasn’t about realism. I think you might be thinking too literally. As I interpreted it, the question is about which brand best exemplifies Texas.

Tito’s

I can’t see Texas ever going with something like Tesla or SpaceX because they’re so politically charged. I don’t think the Texas brand would welcome the sort of negative attention Elon brings. I say this as a huge Tesla/SpaceX fan.

 

If I’m thinking on building up the Texas brand and enhancing the national footprint, I suggest they do something like Dr Pepper or Ford.

 

But I’m a huge fan of HEB. The Astros do it. 

Ford?

[Sirhornsalot]

I simply would not do it at all.

 

[Hornsfan76]

Humann. It even has sports related benefits.

Most of us, including the OTF staff feel the same way but with the money being thrown around  and required to compete in multiple sports, there  may come a time when there isn’t a choice.

I would do it in a heartbeat for the right value/$. Want it to be very $$$ and global brand that everyone would recognize like the Longhorn logo. 
tesla/spaceX -but I understand the stupid politics that could stop that. 
at&t -global brand. 
dell- don’t think they will, maybe not a big enough brand for me like the 3 mentioned above. 
heb/Whataburger/Dr Pepper- all Texas brands, but not big enough.

I do think all teams will do it, it’s just a matter of time, that’s why I hope we do it. Kind of similar to one alternate uniform a year, maybe even for the spring game only because I know 17-year-olds like it.  We can put 10 patches on the spring game uniform, ha ha.

TxTag. Tx born, can't escape, what could represent the spirt of Texas more than charging the public to use public infrastructure!

Dell, Whataburger, Shipley's.

[GoHorns1]

Highman

No way some of the OTF staff suggestions could pay the price. I'm looking at $5-$20 mill. So Dell or AT&T or ExxonMobil, come on down.

A black Tesla or SpaceX patch would look awesome. 
 

I just don’t think Texas would take on the inevitable pushback. But maybe I’m wrong.

OTF!!!!!

C’mon Bobby, you can scratch that check!!

Tesla's owner is politically divisive. It will not be one of Elon's companies.

I say no sponsors.  We’ve survived over 100 years w/o a sponsors and another 100+ years without one suits me just fine.
