Stephen Gutierrez EDINBURG – At the last home game, the UTRGV Marching Band debuted a brand new uniform that pays tribute to both university and Rio Grande Valley culture.

Dustin Ferguson, director of athletic bands, said the program grew too fast, leaving the organization without enough of the original uniforms.
The director said the shortage of the original uniforms sparked a collaboration with university leadership to design unique uniforms rooted in local culture.
