Mark, you're one of my favorite people in the world, but I completely disagree with you here.
At which time that North Texas is mentioned in the same breath as Texas, A & M, Oklahoma, or Ohio State, we must not allow people to wonder who we are. This is why I insist on GREEN and ONLY GREEN. Words across the chest are not enough. I hear that people wearing any color of gear is OK, but until we have the same kind of name ID as the schools mentioned above, color matters.
Case in point.
I went to New York for the NT-Army game. I'd never been to NYC before and I took my "MEAN GREEN" flag to the TODAY SHOW. Sure enough, the producer came over and talked to me. She asked if "Mean Green" was for Michigan State. We've got a lot of work to do.
And how does it look on TV or across the field when many of our fans are wearing various colors ? We need to be a sea of green and only green. While is too universal to identify us as North Texas. Same with black. And letters above your pocket won't do.
"Glory to the Green." That's all.
