New lockers have reclining chairs and space for personal belongings and pads
Back in the Tom Herman era, renovating the Texas locker room became a big story. Images of Herman taking a sledgehammer to the old lockers and the reported $8,700 dollar per locker price tag was the talk of Longhorns Nation. But it’s now been eight years and the Longhorns Football program decided it was time for an update.
And what an update! Instead of current Texas coach Steve Sarkisian destroying the old lockers, they were put up for auction in May, clearing the way for the renovation to begin. Each new locker has its own reclining chair. There are smartly appointed drawers for shoes and a cabinet for personal belongings.
The lockers are custom decorated for each player. The players name and number face out into the room and each player’s picture and name are on the inside. There are also cabinets and cubbies for the pads and helmets.
The carpet in the new locker room is black with a wide burnt orange border and “Texas Longhorns” in burnt orange block lettering. Each row of lockers has a big screen TV at the end for players to gather around.
There are also SEC, Longhorns and Nike logos etched above the lockers.
Somewhere, maybe even Tom Herman is proud.
