The Aggies will debut their Corps-inspired uniforms, a nod to the rich tradition and discipline that the university embodies.
Under the guidance of first-year head coach Bucky McMillan, the team has been playing beyond expectations.

- Both sides of the shorts proudly display the TAMU patch, a staple of the Corps' uniforms.
- The waistband includes a replica of the belt worn by juniors in the Corps, tying the whole look together.
