Bring back the 2013 uniforms but with all white pants with a green SOW on the hip. Those are clean, marketable, and just have an overall good look. Our current setup looks just about awful. The 2013 is also the "proper" green whereas our current one's look like some kind of variation never before seen. Just something else this AD squandered.

I'd be okay if we wore the 2013 throwbacks again. Those looked sharp. Although I will agree that the black, in contract with the green, looks better overall. If we could have green tops/black pants as a home alternate that would look good. Hell even the away look they had in Indiana with the white top/black pants and helmet looked decent. If we could incorporate more black in our uniforms in general I'd be cool with that

Hey guys! Just for the heck of it, I've compiled a list showing the results of North Texas football games, over the last five years, based on the different uniform combinations worn throughout that time period. I feel that these seasons best reflect an overall trend towards uniform variation throughout college football, and they also coincide with beginning of the Mean Green's relationship with Nike. The evidence presented here, although purely anecdotal, suggests that a return to the "blackout" look may be in order. ;)

I think some consideration should be given to the level of opponent we played and if the game was home or away in each variation of uniform. For instance, we are usually wearing white when we get our heads kicked in for bodybag games. White jerseys are not cursed and are not the cause of a poor outcome. The poor outcome was caused by a coach who could not win on the road anywhere he has coached. The white jerseys were just unfortunate to be the road jersey most of the time.

The black jerseys worked, so those should have stayed,

The HOD Bowl, how great that D played!

Our coaches then fizzled and stopped showing up,

66-7, couldn't help throwing up.

What would it take to write a new book?,

No more Coach Mac, we fired the crook.

Our football was bad, it's worse now I guess,

Sir Calvin is gone, who anchors this mess? 

I watch Ponies practice, It doesn't seem fair,

I go to their home games..can pick any chair.

Black or green jerseys.. I really don't care,

Just win a damn game, RV.. act like you care!

That's a very good point. Here's a game by game breakdown of every uniform combination since 2011. Just in case anyone is interested in seeing exactly how the data came together. GMG!

The above looks like a team wearing green and white, and only green and white, blocking a punt against an SEC opponent. 

That's not all.

I will always remember that game fondly because it was the first time in my Mean Green fandom that I felt we actually stood toe-to-toe with a legitimate P5 opponent and didn't get manhandled. We looked like we belonged for the first time, like a real FBS football team. We held top 10 NFL draft pick Todd Gurley to his lowest YPC of the entire regular season, better than Clemson, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, and South Carolina. Plus, Brelan.

Speaking of Gurley...
 

Quote


With 566 yards in his first four NFL starts, Gurley became the most prolific rusher in his first four NFL games since the AFL-NFL merger.[22] Following the 27-6 win over the 49ers in week 8, Gurley's jersey and cleats were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. [23]

Gurley went on to win NFL Offensive ROTY

Oops. Nice catch! That was definitely a GWG game. And what a game it was! I tried to double-check for mistakes before posting, but I guess I must have missed that one.
