Uniform Tweaks?

[James329]

These look different...

 

[jtm0097]

Looks like a North Texas patch was added. 

[James329]

Yes, North Texas patch instead of Mean Green, the sleeves are shorter and the numbers are larger. Much better.

[MeanGreen13]

It look like they got rid of the black stripe that goes from the armpits front to back on the bottom of the should pad numbers. Also looks like they got rid of shoulder pad numbers all together. Cleaner look. I still prefer the boring old jerseys to this but if we go to a bowl game this season, look for an overhaul of the gear to more of a modern look (just a guess at what Littrell would want to do to make the program his own just a bit more). These look so much better. I still hate the freaking triangular patch at the front but that goes with the primary design of the jersey. I think we should just have that be green like the rest of the uniform and not worry about it but it is what it is. Short sleeves make me feel better about the uniform. I feel like the sleeves were a disadvantage last season cause it gives blockers a little something to hold on to.

I'm pretty sure we're wearing the same exact unis as last year. If we actually spent tens of thousands of dollars to tweak those dumpster fire of uniforms than we're dumber than I thought.

 What color will the pants be?

Looks like they'll be white. 

[meangreenthirteen]

The font of the numbers is way different. I like it.

These look better. Hopefully they didn't just tweak this individual uniform due to not wanting to display garbage to the twitterverse.

$MUt will be wearing red, so we won't see them bleed.  Their coaches will be wearing brown pants.

I like this younger look so much better, great job Littrell!  Like the white helmets a lot too.  Hopefully next year he has us rocking in all new hype treads. Great for recruiting with all the social media pics and all.   Like the direction of this new group, they get it! ?

[cdizzle86]

I honestly couldnt tell much of a difference between the green jerseys from last year vs. these ones.

Yeah.  If you remember, our last spread offense minded head coach liked going with the white helmets as well.  

[UNT Five&Dime]

But, what's on the side of the helmet?

The jersey shown in that picture has drastic differences to the normal one. Mainly the numbers, the patch, the stripes, and the neckline (showing we are using a different level of Nike uniforms). Also white helmet.

I just brought that uniform and this uniform up side by side.  They don't much look similar at all.  Hopefully, we'll win more than 14% of our games in the new(ish) look.

[Eagle-96]

SMU just posted their full unis for Saturday.

If I remember right, it was said (not sure if confirmed) that Dodge preferred the white helmets because they were easier for the QB to find/see in a pass heavy offense.  Not sure if that's really a thing or not.

I hate to say it, guys, but my money says we're wearing the exact same unis as last year.

As you can see, the triangle/shield thing on the jersey last year did say "North Texas." They clearly changed the number on the Twitter pic to 16 (for 2016...it took me too long to put 2 and 2 together, trust me). So it makes sense that a lazy person would just scrap the numbers on the shoulders. As for the number being bigger - again, laziness. They probably just threw the numbers on there not thinking that anyone would fact check the proportional size to the actual jersey.

Not that I care one way or the other, but I thought I might offer up a "pump the breaks" to anyone really looking forward to seeing a different look on Saturday. Just drink a lot - the unis will look different. And, if you're like me, your muscle memory from last season will probably tell you that's what you're supposed to do at UNT football games anyway. DISCLAIMER: I think we go 5-7 including a WHOOPING on SMU this Saturday!!!

Yes, they had the triangle on the white unis last year, but not on the green.

The uniform change comes in the form of number font change, numbers on top of shoulder pads being removed (which is HORRIBLE to have them on there), much shorter sleeves (needed improvement), the triangle change, and maybe most importantly....They aren't wearing green on green because that look is just yuck. 

[MGNation92]

We need to bring back the black uniforms and the throwbacks. Damn shame we only used them a handful of times

We had the white helmets last year. 

You might be right, my point is just that it'd be a HUGE waste of money to buy a whole new set of unis with a couple small adjustments compared to the originals that were universally hated. Why not just get a new look that everyone likes?

[UNTLifer]

Same green jersey with minor tweeks. 

[MeanGreen13]

I also think we are gonna wear the same uniforms we have already... All the pics the players have taken thus far, including picture day, have been with the same uniforms as last year.
