The Texas A&M Aggies football team have been teasing everyone over the past week via their various social media channels about a potential bomb they’re about to drop on all of us tomorrow.
Using the tag “#carmouflage” the team has posted a series of Photoshopped graphics showing various items wrapped in a Zubaz-like, or dazzle camouflage pattern, apparently alluding to a special uniform for their game tomorrow against Missouri.
This looks like it could go terribly wrong… let’s hope it’s just some sort of elaborate trolling on the part of the Aggies but with the inclusion of the adidas logo in those graphics at the top of this post makes me think we’re getting a uniform wrapped in this stuff.
Here’s some of the photos the Texas A&M twitter account have been releasing this week:

Welp, it looks like this was much ado about, well, not much at all.
According to a Tweet from the Texas A&M Equipment Manager it looks like the team will wear their standard road whites for the game but they will indeed be incorporating the “carmouflage” pattern on their uniform… but only on their shoes:
And a close up of the shoes they appear to be wearing:
Phew. This could have been MUCH worse.
Update Again (Dec 1/13 11:20am ET):
Just a couple of photos to show how the carmouflage looked in the game, the Aggies wore it on their shoes as noted above as well some players wore it on their arm tape:
