Theme
Description of Theme
This year’s theme will be Western, and we are encouraging all near and far to ‘Saddle Up Mavericks’. The Western theme can be as unique or as specific as you see fit. If you choose to embrace your Texas roots with displays of traditional cowboy hats and boots, or groove to the latest hits of Cowboy Carter; we welcome it all!
Spirit Days
This year we are encouraging all students to get involved in the week-long festivities of Homecoming with Throwback dress-up Sprit Days. Each day of the week will have a theme where we are asking all of Maverick Country to embrace the opportunity to showcase your Maverick Pride. Each day, students must abide by the competition rules, in order to be qualify for many prizes we will have throughout the week. Each entry for the competition must add to the ‘Add Yours’ on your Instagram Story, tag @uta.homecoming on Instagram, and has to tag two additional social media accounts. All ‘Add Yours’ must be added per day from the timeframe of 12:00 AM CST – 6:00 PM CST. Your spirit day post must align with the thematic element for the day it was uploaded. Failure to identify the connection to the spirit theme, will be discarded by the judges. In order to be entered into the prize for each Spirit Day, you have to make sure your story post is uploaded within the above designated timeframe. Each individual day will have one winner, that is determined by the end of the week and announced at the Homecoming basketball game on Saturday November 9th. If you submit more than 3 Spirit Day submissions, your name will be added into a Maverick Spirit drawing for a grand prize, again announced at the Saturday Homecoming basketball game.
