I wonder too if USM will be wearing an alternate helmet since ours is also black?

I looked this up.  They released new unis this year with Adidas.  Every combo they announced (4) had black helmets.

i like the combo, but

A) why are we wearing black for a 1 pm kickoff?

B) why are we wearing one of the primary colors of the opponent? they're wearing black helmets too.

this doesn't make any sense as a combo for this game, although i like the look.

Tough crowd.  Six downvotes and he stated twice that he liked the look.😀

The uniforms are awesome and the players and recruits like em and that's really all that matter in the long run

Call me old fashioned, but our home unis should ALWAYS look like this...

Agreed. These are the best. But do it for the kids. 

If we sold a replica jersey. I’d want to be if this one!

Yeah, not really sure where the flood of downvotes is coming from, but it's cool.

Nothing more polarizing for this fan base than black uniforms

The above picture has always troubled me.

I have been asked by visiting fans, "why do we call ourselves Mean Green ?"  Unfortunately, the black uniform/trim is a leftover from the Craig Helwig era at North Texas. 

if a college football fan landed in Denton this weekend and stumbled into Apogee I think that might be a fair question.

And they should NEVER look like this:

I like the black uni's, but I agree with the majority that they should wear green when at home. Unless it is a black out game, like when we played Rice in 2013. 

I guess it depends on generation, but I like how we are switching out unis every game as Oregon does. Behind the scenes, recruits like this type of stuff. 

[greenminer]

I like the black look on occasion but it def doesn't jive with green being our primary color.

When I think "primary", I think it should be the dominant presence on the color pattern/scheme.

I don't know who started the black uniform fad.  I can't think of an FBS team outside serious bluebloods that HASN'T done it over the past several years.  But like all fashion trends, this too shall pass.

Why are we called Mean Green has nothing to do with having a black jersey/helmet though.
Black is leftover from Helwig??  I don't recall black in any of our uniforms prior to Dickey's last game (1 time) and then recently.

You may not like it Joe, but the players do, so you'll have to get used to it.
And you know the old saying, "dress good, feel good"...  If the guys get any kind of lift whatsoever that comes from this uniform, then I'm all for it.

Great question.

TXTech has featured black in their uniforms for a very long time.  But I highly doubt they spurred a fashion movement.

I, for one, eagerly await the return of bell bottoms.
