What do you guys think of this?

Seeing this thing pop up more and more and I personally feel like gouging my eyes out every time I see it.

[SquidBilly]

Blasphemy!!!!!!

[jesterzzn]

[Break & Run]

It's fine.  Why?  Because Arkansas has a HUGE alumni base in Texas.

[Break & Run]

Like someone said in another thread, in the last freshman class, there are more Texans then Arkansas students.

[010HogFan]

This is worse than the hog call getting screwed up.

[Razorfox]

It already exists, so I would just try to look for the positive in it.  Think about it this way:  The Razorbacks are big enough and influential enough to be outside the state of Arkansas.  Not necessarily a bad thing.

Well, it's sort of a slap in the face to the Texans who root for other schools, so from that perspective I guess I don't have much of an issue with it.  I wonder why people would do that rather than just wear regular Hog garb, but whatever floats their boat.   

I wouldn't expect to see people in Arkansas wearing that though...why would they? 

[Vantage 8 dude]

Personally I see absolutely NO problem with it. WTH if you're a Hog who cares whether you live in Texas, New York or Timbuktu? Come on- a Razorback is a Hog no matter where you call home!

[Sir Oinksalot]

...hey thanks for the link !!  I love the all-American HOG....

Sending off a $500 order, you know right, next year is the year of the HOG...

Ppevery star doesn't mean Texas, right, y'all did watch the game...?

[ICEman]

Great branding!  If more publicity leads to a 4/5* athlete popping out of one of the Texas metro areas and into the loving arms of the Razorback faithful, I see nothing but an upside.

[Sir Oinksalot]

...exactly, didn't see any burnt orange on that stuff, eh ?

A ?

[island hog]

It's awesome !! Anytime we can get a Razorback in mainstream Texas I'm all for it!!!

[010HogFan]

You know as well as I do this is a Texas based brand and feigning otherwise just comes across as ignorant.

[Hey Super]

A large alumni base in Texas paired with the extremely successful in-state tuition reciprocal program the U of A offers makes this a viable and logical marketing scheme.

[OKC]

I think its great!...from a recruiting standpoint, send it to texas recruits to let them know they don't have to lose their texas identity if they go to Arkansas...also, I say put it on billboards around Dallas/Houston areas.

Ignorant...or arrogant?  I'd probably go with arrogant.  They know who they are targeting.  The shirt owners just have to be aware that their cars may get key'd.

wasn't talking about the brand owners being ignorant. I was talking about the guy's post that said "not all stars mean Texas."

agree with your post though.

[reddogjcss]

The state of Texas has sent us many Razorback players and fans. It's Shorthorns that are villains

Oops.

Do you really want to discuss ignorant?

I mean, bitching about this seems, well, rather ignorant.

[gawntrail]

Giving fans another way to represent..... What's to not like?  Especially considering the revenue from licensed merchandise.  Pretty good idea. 

[KennyForAD]

Brilliant

[pigroots]

Love it..describes me these days

[razorbacker3]

Those in Texas envy the hogs.......I would too if I lived in Texas!

[BorderPatrol]

Some of you act like you can't live in Texas and still love the Hogs.

We own texas ...those shirts don't hurt my feelings one bit

Please explain why this bothers you.

That's how I feel as well.

[flippinhogmana]

Wouldn't be nothing wrong with the state of Texas if we took it over would there be?

[popcornhog]

I am from Memphis. I went to school at the UA. I've got a sticker with the state of Tennessee and a hog in the middle of it. What's the difference? We have a big alumni base in Texas.

[pigmailyen]

They need to recruit some professional models.  Otherwise it's a hoot.

[snoblind]

No problem with it.  Two of my best friends who live in Lakeway have a son who is a sophomore at Arkansas.  As mentioned earlier lots of kids coming to Arkansas from Texas.  Can't hurt recruiting and may really help over the coming year.

I like it... Youi wanna be a national brand? I do... I want people to love the hogs from all over...

[urkillnmesmalls]

If people want to print them up, I say put one with the state of Florida and a big old Hog right in the middle of it.  Why do I care if people in Fla want to wear 'em?  Do it for every state....can't hurt us any.

Please explain why this bothers you.

you tend to have a different perspective when you go to school with Texans, many of whom put down the state of Arkansas on a regular basis and have no interests here besides attending college.

[wholehog92]

Texans have been flocking to Fayetteville to attend the University of Arkansas for years now. More recently in the last ten years, the percentage of Texans attending the UofA has been getting substantial, to where the number of Texans (by some reports) is more than the number of Arkansans at the UofA. This created a group of people with a common culture and no way to rejoice together in it. That's where Lone Star Hog Came in. We are the perfect blend of Texas roots, Arkansas pride, and Razorback love. We are constantly updating designs, coming out with new products, and looking for ways to connect fellow Texas Hogs. We are here to stay and proud to be able to lead a movement. We are Lone Star Souls in a Natural State of Mind.

So long as these same tejas transplants aren't griping about immigrants bringing their national pride to the country that is allowing them to improve their life, I guess I see no issue with it.

I'm a bit old school.  If I have to leave a place to improve my life, I guess I'd be more partial to showing pride in the place that is welcoming me and helping me get a leg up.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it for me to get upset about.  It does say something about the attitude of those that would sport it.

The U of A is the heart and soul of AR.  Putting the Hog symbol on a texass flag motif just shows the transplants don't get it.  Sucks for them.

Which is exactly why the shirts are great.  When they go back home, they'll be reminded that we're everywhere down there too!!   :razorback:

BOOM!  You can't escape WOO PIG SOOOOOIEEEEE !!!! 

[Mike Irwin]

The problem comes from the University of Texas hijacking the Texas state flag as its logo. To hell with that. There are more Texans that hate UT than not. They have been acting like they own the state since forever.

The state legislature should secure the rights to that flag as a logo and make UT use a  Bevo flag instead.

Better still they should sell UT Austin to California. Cal St. Austin. I like the sound of that.

UC Austin.   The CS schools aren't even close on the arrogance scale.  UT and the UC schools are peas in a pod.

[ICEman]

There are more Freshmen from Texas at the U of A than from the state of Arkansas.

Well I live in Iowa, so I made one with our flag.  Looks great, huh?

A couple of kids at the U of A started this company. They are from Texas.. like has been said on here, they are just 2 of a ton of Texas kids that go to the U of A. My problem with it is that the University I support financially and with tax dollars would rather have Texas kids than Arkansas kids. U of A doesn't give anywhere near the same level of scholarships, etc to Arkansas kids that A State or other state public Universities do, because of this huge amount of Texas kids that couldn't get in to the the Texas schools because they are full and Arkansas is a great deal in comparison because of Out of State tuition waivers. So it's a huge boon for the University and for the Texas kids, it just is at the expense of Arkansas kids .. and drives the mid tier brighter ones to the other Arkansas Schools, where they get more money in scholarships, many of these kids would rather have gone to The University.

Anything that upsets residents on the "40 acres" is ok in my book.

I like it. And the girl looks great. This is a compilment to our hogs.
Go Hogs!
