I usually don't get into uniform talk

Please stop....:ban::ban::ban::blowup::blowup::spam::spam:

Washington needs to stay with the gold helmets, but Baylor's are growing on me.

I don't like the modern day wacky uniforms, but I do love the matte color helmets. (Oregon, OK State, etc).

Baylor's matte green helmets are SWEET.

I would love to see UNT in some matte green next year.

I agree.

I wouldn't mind (1) uni with some black in it as well. I don't mean black outline either. I mean a contrast uni, similar to ND's.

Matte black helmet, kelly green eagle logo, maybe the number on one side. White jersey, kelly green numbers, black pants with the kelly green eagle logo. Green/white cleats, black gloves kelly trim.

We've all seen the black unis, but not done properly by Nike.

Just my two cents...

Justifies all the black/green gear being marketed and worn in the stands.

I love the matte helmets! Although, I think our current color of green wouldn't be as nice as the black of asu or dark green of Baylor.

The matte helmets suck, but not as much as this thread.

Ok buddy! I bet you think baggy suits, and socks with sandals are cool too?

I think it would be cool to leave the uniforms and the shade of green the same for 2 seasons in a row.

From across the field or on TV, fans dressed in black or white could appear to be cheering for either side.

North Texas is the Mean Green. "Glory to the Green."

I liked the helmets too, but I'd really like to keep some continuity in our uniforms. At this point the only change I might support would be grey facemasks and all black shoes.

Now I'm showing my age.

i'm with you...don't like the matte helmets...bland....but, i'm not a fashionista like so many others on the boards...

I like uniform bits.....but dangit all I want is for our helmets to change and take out "North Texas" and put in our dang logo! Or maybe an NT or something to that extent. That is all.

SOW on one side and the NT alum logo on the other side. NOT

Here is Oregon's helmet for the Rose Bowl. Tweak the colors/concept a bit and you've almost got the SOW.

Like that look actually...maybe a matte green with the same concept?

Please No.

I don't like it. Looks like a feather'd mirror.

I think it's great. Like it or not, the kids eat these uniforms up, they love playing in stuff that looks like this. If you don't think uniform design is at least somewhere in some kids minds when they're figuring out where to go, you're fooling yourself.

I'm one of the old traditionalists regarding football uniforms, but I'm also a realist. And you are correct- kids like this stuff, and if you can close in and sign one or two solid HS players because of the great uniforms North Texas wears then it's worth the change. That is why the helmet design below is one of my favorites. The designer, a GoMeanGreen poster, was way ahead of his time when he created a series of similar helmet designs.

Yes, let's wear a helmet with a logo so blown up you can't even tell what it is...

The SOW logo, interlocking NT, or no helmets at all

green with the player's number in black. woot woot.

The NORT TEXAS on the helmet needs a black outline for 2012 and a gray mask.

It would be cool to have TB unis for HC each year. I say the 1975 Worm lime green helmet and tops with white pants, like the Cowboys do for Thanksgiving.

Teburculosis??? You need to raise your criteria for "cool".

Remember when the introduced SOW with those hints of what was to come. I like the idea of maximizing the mystique of the SOW. People not close to the Mean Green have to wonder why the Eagle Wings, why the Mean Green? Who are they? But I remember them.

Love Gundy's OSU football shirt on the sideline tonight. I've seen the football design before in Apogee bookstore but don't recall it being that exact style - very cool.

I like the North Texas on the side of our helmets. It helps identify us and we need all the exposure we can get.

Could anyone but the most diehard college football fans know who is playing in the following photo?

I could guess Ball State was playing Arkansas State(I know they use an A and not a S). These helmets do not identify which Cardinals or which "State"(the NC is so small you can hardly make it out). This is why I am grateful for our "North Texas" helmets.

It is hard to confuse what team has the ball in the above pic. It is clear to the viewer. While I agree the SOW may look better, I think using the lettering is best for our visibility now.
