New UNT Uniforms?

MeanGreen13 · June 16, 2017

I dont need the interlocking nt on the helmet but i think it should be our secondary sports logo... It looks good. The thicker version of course.

Has it been long enough yet to do New Orleans Bowl throwback uniforms?

It's been used before and a lot of schools use unofficial logos on their helmets. The flying worm isn't a current UNT logo, but it was still used on the throwback unis.

I doubt we'll see an interlocking NT on the new helmets, but it's certainly possible one day.

The worm is a UNT property, NT interlocked is not.

I do like the interlocking NT, but they could use the N and T in the font that is used on "NORTH TEXAS" in the end zones.

Just stair step the NT

he did come from NC so....they have NC interlocked on their helmets.

And while I know you're mostly kidding, I also want to toss in the Tartan on the uniform idea.

Well it should be.

Ben Gooding · June 19, 2017

If they have them, they need to release them. Anything to boost recruiting.

Would love to see the tartan incorporated similar to UNC's argyle strip on their helmet and on their jersey collar and sleeves

And yet it is still used on the athletic letter jackets...

Because it's owned by the alumni association...

I wonder if the AD has even worked with the Alumni association on using the NT? I would think the AA would be happy to share.

True, but that's not the reason that it's never been used. URCM doesn't endorse using "NT" under any circumstances. To them, it runs counter to their current branding priorities. It's not that the Alumni Association is holding the interlocked NT logo and unwilling to partner and share. Heck, URCM threw a fit about using the Flying Worm for the throwbacks a couple of years back fearing that it would overshadow and be more popular than the current branding. It's why all of the t-shirts and hats with the Worm on them that were produced during that time had the worm logo appearing on a helmet, not as a stand alone logo. Huge missed opportunity to sell quality throwback merchandise to fans that wanted to purchase it. Another example of the University's marketing team's vision being ridiculously small in scope and petty.

golfingomez · June 20, 2017

I would love to see the worm used for a full season.

Well hopefully regardless of what logos are used, the University and AD put out higher quality Uniforms and Apparel than what we've had for a while now. It seems they are going all in on the SOW and I'm okay with that as it's modern and sharp.

Hopefully the AD recognizes thew importance and incorporate throwback uni's and apparel at least once or twice a season going forward

The athletic department should have its own marketing department. The URCM screws up more often than not.

Completely disagree with that. We've basically had that where the AD markets one type of branding (North Texas) and the school another (UNT). I think it was even mentioned in the consultant report. The school needs to get its act together and all push in the same direction.

UNTLifer · June 21, 2017

I agree, but the school's marketing has historically been more of a hindrance than a help.

cdizzle86 · June 21, 2017

I wish our marketing dept. would do something. It's been so quiet (outside of twitter graphics) this off season in regards to football.

Tease the new uniforms or something. Give recruits something to follow us for.

James329 · June 21, 2017

Possible uniform leak, or just a wishful design by our graphics people?

Nah they just photoshopped the color scheme of a photo of him. Pretty standard stuff.

Maybe one of these days. People were knocking that FAU helmet. At least they're doing something. We still have the same terrible uniforms.

MeanGreen_MBA · June 22, 2017

I would love to see that come out this year. Maybe at SMU, or at home vs Army or UTSA

Flywire and full eagle in chrome helmet? It's possible. I don't see why you would photoshop a helmet you don't currently have unless it's in the wings (no pun intended).

100% agree. I don't know why you would hold on to them right now (if we do have some and I'm assuming we do) when you are getting your teeth kicked in recruiting.

UNTLifer · June 22, 2017

Like the helmet, not a fan of the uni.

Tell me that third picture isn't the exact same except in all red
