Looking for Texas Longhorns football wreath ideas for your next game day project? Texas’ unmistakable burnt orange and white color palette creates a warm, bold football look that works beautifully with deco mesh, grapevine wreaths and vertical swags.
You can build the design around a Texas sign, Longhorn imagery, a large burnt-orange-and-white bow, football details or simply let the classic color combination create the game day feel.
Quick Answer: Start a Texas Longhorns football wreath with burnt orange and white, then choose one strong focal point. A Texas-shaped sign, football-shaped sign, helmet sign, rectangle sign, license plate-style sign, Longhorn-inspired accent or oversized bow can establish the design. Add copper, cream or football brown where you want additional texture and contrast.

You do not need every Texas element in one wreath.
A strong Longhorn sign may establish the theme immediately, leaving you free to use simpler burnt orange and white materials around it. Another design might rely more heavily on Longhorn imagery, football details or the distinctive burnt orange color itself.
The goal is to choose a few elements that work together rather than trying to fit every Texas idea into one wreath.
Classic Burnt Orange And White Texas Deco Mesh Wreath
A full deco mesh wreath is one of the easiest ways to make the Texas color palette immediately noticeable.
Burnt orange can provide the strongest base, while white adds contrast and keeps the design from becoming too visually heavy.
You can distribute burnt orange and white throughout the mesh or use orange as the dominant mesh color and introduce white through ribbon, the sign and decorative accents.
Metallic copper can add another layer of texture without moving too far away from the burnt orange palette.
The focal sign does not have to sit directly in the center. Moving it slightly to one side leaves room for a larger bow or accent grouping on the opposite side.
If you are new to making a sports wreath, our How To Make A Football Wreath guide explains the basic process from planning the design through adding mesh, ribbon, signs and accents.
Texas Longhorns Grapevine Wreath Inspiration
Burnt orange and white can look completely different on a grapevine base.
Instead of covering the entire wreath, allow some of the natural grapevine to remain visible.
A large burnt orange, white and cream bow can provide much of the color, while a Texas sign or football accent establishes the theme.
This style works especially well when you want a warmer, more natural-looking game day design.
Exposed grapevine is not an unfinished area. It is part of the design.
Let The Texas Longhorns Sign Inspire The Wreath
Sometimes the easiest way to begin is to choose the sign before choosing the ribbon.
Look at its shape, colors and size and decide what the rest of the wreath needs to support it.
- Which color from the sign should dominate the wreath?
- Does the sign need a large bow to balance it?
- Would deco mesh or grapevine work better?
- Does the sign already provide enough football imagery?
- Would simpler ribbon make the sign easier to see?
- Should the sign be centered or placed off to one side?
A different focal sign can completely change the personality of a Texas wreath even when the same burnt orange and white palette is used.
Texas-Shaped Or Longhorn Focal Sign
A Texas-shaped or Longhorn-themed sign immediately gives the wreath a distinctive focal point.
Because the shape itself carries so much personality, the surrounding ribbon can remain relatively simple.
Burnt orange, white, cream and football-themed patterns can support the sign without competing with it.
Football-Shaped Texas Longhorns Sign
A football-shaped sign immediately combines the team and the sport.
Because the focal point already supplies a strong football element, you may not need football-print ribbon everywhere else.
Let the remaining materials concentrate on burnt orange, white and texture.
Texas Longhorns Football Helmet Sign
A helmet sign gives the wreath an unmistakable game day focal point.
It works especially well with simpler surrounding ribbon because the helmet shape already provides plenty of visual interest.
Try positioning the helmet slightly off center and balancing it with a substantial bow or accent grouping.
Rectangle Or Home-Style Texas Longhorns Sign
A rectangular sign creates a noticeably different layout from a Texas-shaped or football-shaped sign.
Because a rectangle is wider, it can sit across the middle or lower portion of the wreath.
It can also be shifted to one side and balanced with a large bow.
A rectangle or home-style sign often helps determine the structure of the entire design before you add the remaining ribbon.
License Plate-Style Texas Longhorns Sign
A license plate-style sign deserves its own design treatment because its long, narrow shape changes the balance of the wreath.
- Across the center
- Along the lower portion
- Slightly off center
- At an angle beside a large bow
- As part of an asymmetrical design
Because it is narrower than many traditional signs, a license plate often leaves more visible room for ribbon, mesh and decorative accents.
Experiment with several positions before attaching it permanently.
Use Longhorn Or Bevo-Inspired Details
Texas gives you one of the most recognizable animal themes in college sports.
You could build the design around:
- A Longhorn focal sign
- A steer or Longhorn silhouette
- Burnt orange-and-white ribbon
- Football accents
- Western-inspired textures
- Copper metallic details
- A large burnt-orange bow
You do not need Longhorn imagery on every element for the idea to work.
One strong focal detail with coordinating colors around it can be enough.
Burnt Orange And White Don’t Have To Do All The Work
Burnt Orange + White
The classic combination and the easiest place to begin.
Burnt Orange + White + Cream
Cream softens the contrast slightly and works beautifully with grapevine and natural textures.
Burnt Orange + White + Copper
Copper adds metallic shine while staying close to the warmth of burnt orange.
Burnt Orange + White + Football Brown
Brown football accents shift more attention toward the sport itself while leaving burnt orange and white dominant.
Prefer A Generic Burnt Orange And White Football Wreath?
You can also use burnt orange and white to create a general football wreath without making the design team-specific.
- Burnt orange and white mesh
- Solid coordinating ribbon
- Stripes
- Checks
- Polka dots
- Generic football ribbon
- Football attachments
- Football picks
- Football laces
- Field-inspired patterns
- Brown and cream accents
This can be a great option if you love the color combination but prefer a more general football look.
However, a generic-looking design should not be treated as a legal guarantee. Sports Wreath Shop cannot determine whether a particular combination of colors, wording, symbols, finished products or marketplace listings is legally permissible.

Texas Longhorns Football Wreaths Don’t Have To Be Round
A swag or teardrop gives you another way to create Texas football décor.
The vertical shape allows the bow, ribbon, sign and accents to cascade downward instead of spreading around a circular wreath frame.
This can be especially useful when you want something narrower for a front door or simply want a different silhouette.
Mix Texas Longhorns Ribbon With Simpler Patterns
Team ribbon can establish the Texas theme very quickly.
That means every ribbon in the wreath does not need to contain team wording or Longhorn imagery.
- Solid burnt orange ribbon
- White ribbon
- Cream ribbon
- Orange-and-white stripes
- Checks
- Polka dots
- Copper metallic ribbon
- Generic football ribbon
- Football-laces ribbon
The simpler patterns give the eye somewhere to rest and allow your strongest Texas sign or team-themed ribbon to remain special.

Start With Inspiration, Not A Formula
The Texas wreaths on this page are here to give you ideas.
They are not recipes you have to duplicate.
You may love the bow from one wreath, the license plate placement from another and the color balance from a third.
Combine them.
Move the sign. Try a Texas-shaped focal piece instead of a traditional shape. Use a license plate across the bottom. Add more white or cream. Use less ribbon. Let the Longhorn imagery become the focal point. Leave more grapevine showing.
Or use the same general colors to create a completely generic football wreath.
Sometimes seeing several finished possibilities is exactly what you need to get past the question:
“I have the supplies. Now what should I make?”
Prefer To Start With A Texas Longhorns Wreath Kit?
Sports Wreath Shop does not currently list a dedicated Texas Longhorns Wreath Kit, but you can still use the same simple starting process as a kit-based project.
