Uniform
The team kit is taken directly from the sky blue found on two of the earliest Texas flags of independence:[2] “Texas and Liberty” was inscribed on one side and a Latin inscription “Ubi, libertas habitat, ibi nostra patria est” (“Where liberty dwells, there is my country”) was also inscribed on the other.
The green found on the jersey represents the country that created Gaelic football, Ireland.
