On the guy's hand, attaching the flag to the swivel?

May need a big screen. Looks like a worn down old Aggie ring but I couldn't get a good enough look

Apologies. I wasn't able to capture a screenshot

all good

This is when having a picture really helps... or are we supposed to be using our imagination?

Not an Aggie ring...

I'm looking at it on my phone so bear that in mind but it sure looks like it could be an Aggie ring to me.

Balfour makes rings for a lot of schools and they use the same basic design. From a distance they look the same.

But we sure do seem to be able to spot one another from across the room.

End of the day, there was zero new footage used for that commercial. My guess the put it together with hour upon hours of B-roll they already have.

They should have gone with this instead of the trans sales pitch.
Ring is just after the 25 second mark.

I think it's great that BUD is embracing inclusion of trans in schools.

I'm thinking Citadel.

The Citadel ring looks exactly the same. I ran into a guy at Bar Harbor, Maine and gave him the thumbs up and said, "Gig 'em." He looked at me like I was crazy. He went to The Citadel.

About the only difference is that our shield looks like a central blob whereas their tree has an offset to their blob.

There are a lot of Aggie designs that we love because they're familiar, but aren't as good as they could be. Our ring, block ATM, mascot, architecture, etc. The ring feels like a Major was given 3 pages of symbolism to fit on a ring, found the ring maker for the academies, and told them to fit as much in as they could.

Sure - it's "timeless," and "military," but the average American wouldn't have a clue what school it signifies if it weren't written on it. Hell - when have you ever seen a shield or eagle anywhere around BCS? And those are the most prominent symbols?

Honestly, A&M would've been a better fit for a longhorn logo. Or adopters if "come and take it." Or even a bonfire stack. Or a riding boot. SOMETHING that's unique to our identity rather than us grafting onto a broader military theme.

West Point ring?

Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Joe Rogan and Jim Breuer laugh at their ridiculous attempt to get back in their customers (i.e., Americans) good graces.

No way that's real

Has to be fake.

Or...some local LGBT+++++ group did the ad.

Same with Sam Houston State. I was talking to a Highway Patrol officer and I said oh is that an Aggie ring? Nope. They're all made by Balfour and have the same basic design. They look identical from a distance.
