The Helmet

SCHWING!!!

It's basically the Dickey '05-'06 helmet with a white facemask then, right?

Can't wait to see what this thread has in store

So no helmet stripe? Doesnt really matter. Pretty simplistic. Something about seems sub par. Helmet sticker?

Much better than the white.

I'm looking forward to seeing the complete uniform on a player to get the full perspective.

what a let down

The more I look at it, the more I kind of like it.

what a let down

I think this is what we should have been expecting from the rumors. I'm just thankful it's not a real mint green.

Different green without the glitter paint. I like it.

Looks like it is going to be green - nothing but green! No fancy off shade with glitter or sparkles - just green. I still think they should have gone with eagle logo, but it is better than the white shell.

Outside of that, I like it.

The uniforms are exactly as boring as I expected. Crap.

Nice classic helmet. They will sure look good come game day when the team is all geared up. I like this classic look. I think it says that UNT is ready to play some classic rough and tumble football and is ready to let its play on the field be all the "glitz and glitter" needed.

Doesn't let me down at all...I like. Can't wait to see the entire uniform in person. I'll bet it looks much better than these photos...

Thanks for posting the photo...GO MEAN GREEN!

I'm thankful that they're green again!

(As to the logo...well, we've been over that When I attended the University of North Texas, I supported UNT football.)

Anyway, I'm not going to complain because it's green again.

Thank you, Rick, for the green helmets again! I'm going ahead with a season ticket order now. The green helmet clinches it.

SOW better make it onto the pants.

Yea Verily, I say unto thee. Just as sure as the sun rises in the east, alas it is a certainty that some will love, some will hate, any design that will be placed in front of them.

"...Cheer for the Green & White..."

I like the simpler move. I too would like to see the SOW on it, but this is sharp.

Also, I've always heard that although the center stripe on a helmet makes it look good, cornerbacks are taught to look at the helmet stripe to know where the QB is looking. If it's not there, then that may be more beneficial to our guys.

I was excited about today. I was planning on coming home from work and posting the pics of the new uniform on Facebook for all my friends to see. I had even thought of a status to go with the link to the pictures: "Hopefully the Mean Green will play well this season. But even if they don't, they'll at least look good."

However, after seeing the new uniforms I've decided not to show them on Facebook because I'm somewhat embarrassed. It's not something I want to show off. My friends would just comment about how boring and plain they are.

I like the "practice" helmet with the black stripes better.

Generic, plain, boring.

Even with all the bashing, I am interested in seeing the whole uniform on they guys.

Go Mean Green

I like the jerseys, but the helmets need the SOW on them. I wish I knew why our administration won't place the logo on the helmets. Doesn't make sense to me.

My understanding is that the entire university is trying to brand itself as UNT, not "North Texas". RV; however, does not like acronyms (WTF?) and will not go that direction. RV also does not feel that the "SOW" has brand recognition as of now, but believes it is a future option (personal communication).

Different shade of green and the Dickey helmet had "North Texas" outlined in black. Looks like no black on the helmets or unis, unless I missed something.

Nobody knew the Boise State logo until they embarassed The Too-Sooners.

Pretty uninspiring! Clean though. Needed the stylized eagle on it to be a little more edgy.

The different shade of green is a given (zing!), and I feel you on the outline... but I'll stand by my "basically" the same as the last Dickey helmets. That will be the common perception, accurately so... and that's not all bad, because at least it (loosely) establishes a little consistency in the look.
