The Texas A&M football team will wear a 2 ¼-inch black patch emblazoned with the word: UNIFIED in tonight’s game against Vanderbilt.
Texas A&M’s student-athletes collectively determined the patch message, which will be worn by all Aggies sport teams for the 2020-21 school year. Texas A&M’s athletes collectively determined the patch message, and released a statement on why they chose UNIFIED.
How are we UNIFIED? While we all come from different places, backgrounds and experiences, each and every one of us feels immense pride at every opportunity to put on our Aggie uniform. Regardless of our identity and differences, we know with certainty we are all human beings and we are all Aggies.
UNIFIED, what can we accomplish? The world we live in is still rife with inequality, and the forces of change must be powerful and UNIFIED to confront the challenges ahead. While our on-demand culture is fueled by instant gratification, we know this is the marathon of all marathons and there is no quick fix. We know this will take more stamina and steadfastness than any of us have ever experienced. We are ready.
