La Tech Game Throwbacks

[GoMeanGreen1999]

LOVE.  THEM.  

[NorthTexasWeLove]

That is pretty sweet.

Is it possible the whole team wears 75?  Like they do in baseball where everyone is 42?

i guess it’s almost impossible for the refs to get the penalties assigned to the correct player.

Gotta believe Mean Joe had a say in who got to wear it, right?

I wonder if he picked Hambone... 

No one has worn this jersey # in 50 years.   The man who made it iconic CHOSE YOU to wear it for this special occasion, on a day in which a statue of him is being unveiled.   No pressure to perform up to his level LaDarius!

But they could all wear a "75" patch.

I’m drooling over these uniforms, especially the helmets. I’m really hoping we pack Apogee, been inviting every person I know!! GMG!!!

[NT93]

Don't know which is better: the uniform or the reveal.  

 

Love the idea of having Mean Joe lead the team onto the field walking.  

[Cerebus]

Our 1967 uniforms were not "plain."  They were clean and stylish.  If you want to see plain look at what LaTech rolled out in 1967:

Did someone say Red Stripe?

I like the NT throwbacks, but they are really not much like what was worn back in the late sixties.

Does anyone know what car Hambone drives?

No but my dad’s a tv repairman. He’s got an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.

One thing I have noticed is how many non-UNT fans picked this up.  I have seen plenty of random Twitter users complimenting the uniform and the reveal and several saying UNT was now their "second team" - particularly Steelers fans.

 

The AD's office is really cleaning up this year.

Is it possible to purchase the NT caps some of the coaches were wearing? I believe the cap was a trucker style cap.
