article-image

The Texas Longhorns compete in NCAA Men’s Basketball as a part of the Big 12 Conference. Baylor, Kansas, and Texas Tech are some of their notable opponents from the conference. They were founded in 1906.

Their name originates from the Longhorn cattle, which are a part of the history of the state of Texas. They are also called the Horns.

The Longhorns logo has been the same since it was first launched in 1961. It is an orange silhouette of a bull with elongated horns. Despite being so old, it still has a modern and minimalistic look to it.
