Please dear God yes. If and when we make a bowl we need to reveal some unique ones for that game and introduce something like 5 different tops/pants/helmets for next season. We're not Alabama, get over it. Recruits want and like flash. Hell I would be happy if we went the Oregon/Okie St route and had a different uniform combo every game

Amen...

Depending on the Bowl game and the time of year... Would be great to see them go with a solid chrome UNI like with some green or even change out the green on the helmet and do Green and Red for Xmas...

Sandwiched between Georgia at #8 and Florida at #6 on the list. Good company. 

 

Edit: ESPN gave us a mention too:

" The helmets you should know about but probably don't: North Texas. The Mean Green has always been underrated when it comes to logos, merchandise and such. For Saturday's Senior Day win over Southern Miss, they were wearing chromed-out lids that tug on the heart of a hot rod lover like me. "

Historically, I've expressed distaste at the constant rotation of questionable uniform design that parades through college football every year. But I've come to realize that 1) I'm already committed to the university and 2) this matters to the recruits and the players.

So bring 'em on. If it brings in recruits and keeps the students happy then I wanna make Oregon look like the model of restraint in uniform design. Laser lights, holographic prints, green/silver/black/pink/camo uniforms with articulating eagle wings? Cool.

Good on you.  I still can't stand the Oregon, Okie St., et al unis, but I'll take a win in a uniform I don't like over a loss in a uniform I do like any day.

I generally can't stand them either. I once asked my wife if she could identify Oregon's school colors. BUT, since they use like 432 uniforms a year, they usually manage to work in one that I like. But that's just personal opinion (though I also have a design degree from UNT, so that's one aspect of it).

In my perfect world, we'd be UT or Alabama or someone who's (basically) had the same classic uniform forever and everyone recognizes it... but we've never been that, so I can keep dreaming or wake up to reality. Kids love all the swag. Give 'em swag.

I really only ask that we keep finding ways to incorporate the Flying Worm into some of our alternates. That logo pre-dates me by 20 years, but I can't get enough of it.

I just hope we never wear plain black pants again.  There was no logo or anything on them.  If you saw a pic of a player from the waist down, there was nothing to indicate who they played for.  It looked like they lost the real pants they were supposed to wear and just played in whatever they could get delivered overnight.

Who is looking at pictures of football players from just the waist down and do those kinds of people care about what team those legs played for? Inquiring minds want to know.

While I appreciate the effort.  No thanks.  Also, red Nike socks?

Yeah, yeah...missed the area where you could adjust the socks.  Pretend they're black.  After that, you LOVE THEM right?! ?

Lol I am not a huge fan of multiple stripes but to each their own.

      New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.

      What is this program missing?

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.

      There is a certain coach in the Piney Woods that fits that criteria and has wanted to be at UNT for years.

      Its all about recruiting, it takes years for a coach to develop a consistent recruiting cycle, and Morris has only had one full year of recruiting, I do think the program is going in the right direction.
