Texas Tech football: "Guns Up" removal from helmets not due to cancel culture
The phrase “Guns Up” has been removed from the Texas Tech football helmets in 2020 but not because of cancel culture.
Observant Texas Tech football fans on Saturday night picked up on the fact that the phrase “Guns Up” had been removed from the back of the Red Raiders’ helmets. Fortunately, that decision was not a result of the cancel culture that is so prevalent in our modern society, but rather, a much more common sense line of thinking.
According to KKAM.com, the change was necessitated by tweaks to the design of the helmet decals. Since 2013, the long-time Texas Tech phrase had been displayed on the back of the helmets as part of the striping that ran down the middle of the headgear.
