每个足球季节,一场比赛专门为aggie粉丝指定为“栗色”作为一种在AGGIE社区之间建立统一的一种方式。 Maroon T恤以低成本,课堂议员销售,鼓励aggies戴上栗色的足球比赛。
The 栗色出门 tradition began in 1998 when tens of thousands of Aggies attending the Texas A&M vs. Nebraska game were encouraged to wear their Aggie colors and create a sea of maroon in Kyle Field. So many maroon shirts were purchased that it led to a temporary national shortage of maroon T-shirts.
Even the Nebraska fans acknowledged after the game that the intensity of the 栗色出门 spirit made a difference in the game leading to A&M's 28-21 victory. As 每日内布拉斯坎 expressed on October 12, 1998: "A game that was dubbed a 'maroon-out' for Texas A&M fans proved to be a lights out for Nebraska. The fans dressed themselves in maroon T-shirts in an attempt to wash out the red and white that opponents have gotten used to. It worked."
2019年,学生导致栗色的组织宣布计划将栗色的传统从一场比赛扩展到一个全面的足球季节。穿上栗色衬衫的球迷可以参加栗色的尾灯和其他特殊活动。
