Does it bother anyone else that the SOW is so far back on our green and black helmets? At some angles it looks like a blank helmet. We either need to shrink the logo or go with something that fits on a helmet.

Yes, we've done that for a few years and I have no idea why. From all angles it looks too far back.

No, it says, "Our primary color is UNT green. . . . Our secondary colors are black, white and the green shades used in our theme."

Yes.  I really like the helmet from the Iowa game with the oversized SOW.  That looks much better.  Undersized greeen SOW on black helmet = no bueno.  It doesn't show up from any distance.  I guess if the players like it and they're seeing it up close, then ok.

Is there a rules change coming next year?  If so, what is it?

The rule has been changed this year. They are giving a years notice because of the way uniforms are purchased.   The new rule states that the pant legs have to cover the knee and have a knee pad.  The officials are looking for this in pregame this year. This guy will be told to pull his pant legs down  and if he doesn't then he will not be allowed on the field. Next year, it will actually be a penalty anytime he comes on the playing field during the game.

I hope it doesn't hurt McClain's game

A promo picture and dressing for an actual game are two very different things.

I agree but the above picture and the example below are what they are going to be looking for. usa-today-9531400.jpg

Why is he standing like that?

That's the first thing I noticed as well, and still can't get out of my head!

He looks like a cross between the kid that got one of those old "authentic" football uniforms they used to have in the Christmas catalogs and Karl Childers.

 

He looks like he's showing it off to his parents for the first time and they got the cameras out and told him to pose. He doesn't really want to, but he knows if he doesn't, then he won't get to go back to tackling all his sister's stuffed animals.

When you get a chance, look at what the Texas Aggies are wearing to play Arkansas at JerryWorld tomorrow and think about the nuclear reaction on this board if North Texas did something like that.  Interesting.....

If you grew up in Houston and we're a fan of the Oilers you wouldn't see it that way.  But if you are just talking about the design etc I could get it:  I like it more for the sentiment.

So Jerry Jones played on the National Championship Razorback team, goes on to own the Cowboys, gets inducted into the Pro HOF this year. His alma mater is playing in his stadium and they wish to honor him by blending the two uniforms. That makes sense.

The "look what they did we have to counter so lets do Oilers" misses the mark. Completely. Just dumb. Now if they wanna play in NRG and honor Bum Phillips (A&M asst coach) some day - then ok...???

That Oiler thing is satire, guys. It's not real. 

^This.  I heard it discussed on the radio today.  The Oilers A&M uni is an Internet farce.

I notice more issues with stitching failure in the uniforms last night.  There was a player with the CUSA patch panel hanging off. 

When we are having to discuss stitching failures, I think it's a good sign

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
