The Texas State Strutters are celebrating their 55th anniversary this school year. In honor of this occasion, the team has re-created an old and unique Strutter tradition. Presley Fowler has more in this Bobcat Update.

For 55 years they've been known for their high kicks, precision dance, and excellence. The Strutters were founded in 1960 and grew to become the largest university dance team in the nation. To honor the inaugural team, Strutter director Tammy Fife decided to re-create the original 1960's Strutter uniform.

The team debuted the outfits during the halftime performance at the Homecoming game, and they will be worn at several events this year.

The team's founder, Barbara Tidwell, envisioned the original uniform to be red and white, so that the dancers would stand out on the football field.
SB:
The high kicks haven't changed but the uniforms sure have. In fact, there have been eight different uniforms since 1960. But in the early 1980s, the university wanted the Strutters to change to maroon and gold.
