With 100 days until the Texas Longhorns open the 2024 season and 128 days until the first SEC home game at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the grounds crew is now installing the new conference logos on Campbell-Williams Field, as revealed by photos shared with Inside Texas.

The equipment staff began sewing SEC logos onto the football uniforms worn by recruits on visits as far back as January and now that Big 12 competition is complete for all the athletic programs in the 2023-24 academic calendar year, the Longhorns are preparing the facilities for the official move to the SEC on July 1.
The Big 12 logos had remained on Campbell-Williams Field through spring practice, which culminated with the annual Orange-White game on April 20, and are finally transitioning with summer conditioning looming.
Texas will celebrate the move to the SEC with a party at the Tower on June 30.
“We know the anticipation of going into the Southeastern Conference is coming, and we wanted to let everyone know that Texas lives there,” Texas athletics director Chris Del Conte said in February at his annual Town Hall address. “In 1903, Texas was a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic (Association), the precursor to the SEC. That was where we were at one time, and we’re just going home.”
