Texas A&M Aggies wide receiver KC Concepcion made an immediate fashion statement in the biggest in-state rivalry.

Concepcion broke into the matchup quickly, pulling in three catches for 35 yards at halftime.
The renewal of the rivalry came last year after starting in 1894 and was long a staple of the former Southwest Conference.
Concepcion’s decision to wear them shows a season built on individual expression, but also how the rivalry is more than a game, including a potential SEC Championship berth with a win.
