Favorite UNT Logos/Traditions?

[homefield]

Hey guys! Just joined the community - I'm Connor and I help run Homefield. We make premium (read: extra comfortable) college apparel, and try to make unique/vintage designs for schools of all sizes. We know that no matter how much research we do, it'll never compare to the knowledge of die-hards, which is why we joined this community.

We just became licensed for UNT, and we're still in the research phase of making sure we make thoughtful UNT apparel for when we do launch it. This is where you come in. No one loves the Mean Green and the school more than you, and we want to learn from the experts.

Mainly: what are your favorite UNT logos/traditions? We only want to make apparel that serves the most passionate fans, and we take that input quite seriously.

Even if you don't have any favorite logos/traditions, if you ever are thinking about ordering some UNT stuff when it goes live, let me know and I'll be sure to hook you up with a solid discount.

Thanks,
Connor

For throwbacks the 60’s interlocked NT is popular..

But not as popular as the 70’s era “Flyn’ Worm”.

 

For current logos,...the logo that is a derivative of the “Flyin’ Worm” is the “Son Of Worm”...or as we like to call it The SOW, and is the standard mark for the Mean Green..  

 

And the flag design that is very popular and was voted on and chosen by our fan base is the “North Texas Battle Flag”.

This!  Honestly don’t think there is another logo I’d want besides the four FFR listed.

What is interesting to me, and something @Harry can be proud of as well is that two of our posters here on gmg designed two of them.

greengrenade2 (passed away 4 years ago) designed the Flyin’ Worm in the early 70’s for Coach Fry,...and @drex created the battle flag in ‘86 for a speaking event for Dr. Hurley.

If this is actually serious:

Rule # 1  - Pantone 356 and White   -  Never anything else .

Rule # 2  - In case of any doubt or confusion, read Rule  # 1 again.

Copper, Silver, Gray, Black, Blue and Orange, Forrest Green, and Khaki are not acceptable for textile merchandise.

All other logos are either secondary or tiny niche fetishes.

Hi Connor!  Ever heard of an albino squirrel?

There’s one that has haunted (or brought luck to, depending on who you ask) UNT students for the past few decades.

It would be a funny shirt design as an “inside joke” that all UNT alumni would understand.

I’ve always wanted to see more of the flying worm from the 70s but also the simple NT design as well. One last thing putting a vintage scrappy on a shirt....oh and can we please stick with one shade of green? 😓

I like anything with the green Texas flag.

I have always wanted a game day shirt for our 6 home games every year.  Beat xxxx.  Get creative with their mascot pink in October homecoming....

[SilverEagle]

From the 50's/60's. The first cartoon Scrappy.  Legend has it that it was drawn by the legendary Bill McClanahan.

Seems as though my time at UNT coincided with one bad logo after another (not that I was there so long, but it seemed like the logo changed every other year).  

I can’t really disagree that the one you referenced was the worst, but my goodness there is plenty of competition from that time period.😩😂

 I’m so thankful for the diving eagle we have now.

And as @ADLER mentioned, get the correct color green.

Anything with our current logo (SOW), the green battle flag, the interlocking NT, and an authentic game jersey both green and white.

I also endorse anything that reflects our Texas heritage, i.e., the state of Texas silhouette with the SOW on it.

Personally there's only so much solid green apparel I can take. I've started buying mostly polos and merch that is black because it goes with anything. I love that the football team has added alot black to jerseys and sideline apparel. My Nike black longsleeve sideline team sweater is one of my favorite things we've released.

Also one of my favorites. This Scrappy and the one I posted share one characteristic.........they both have ATTITUDE.

 

I also like the battle flag, but it needs to be a flying flag.

It would also look pretty good with a slightly faded-antique look and a little tattered. You know, like it's actually survived a lot of conflict.
