Its fairly easy to understand why New Braunfels went with NB, though I'd still feel pretty awful wearing "Unicorns" <a>across my chest</a> while getting nailed by a strong safety over the middle. However, it wouldn't be so unbelievable in <a>cricket</a>. That sport's a little, you know, immasculine.

Explains why they are not in any video games as alternate jerseys or out there as 'retro' apparel. I was doing some reminiscing, and came across this, which I thought was kind of interesting.
