They look excellent, and there's no CURSE when we wear them.

Such a badass uni

Here is the truth:

a student manager ruined the basketball teams white uniforms early in the season. That is why we wear grey at home. We do not have WHITE for this season.

As far as the alternate colors: Black, Grey, etc. that is what the recruits want to see. Us OLD SCHOOL people would prefer GREEEN/WHITE, but we have to offer alternative uniforms to attract the athletes.. These kids want options! Have you looked at Instagram or Snapchat lately?

Unless you are UT, Alabama or USC you need to do what these kids want.

I can promise you. NO school wants to have all these uniforms options. It cost a lot of money to have all these options.

I HATE that we are now using UNT instead of North Texas or Mean Green, but our President believes it is best that we use UNT for our logo.

You will no longer see North Texas on any products that are authorized by North Texas. Supposedly they did a study and UNT was better? I would like to see those results. Everyone on this site went to some form of North Texas, but not UNT. Also, UNT can be made into some bas words.

Mean Green for Life!!

Thanks,

Well, it seems our white uniforms will not even be an option. Hopefully we can wear all Green and our opponents can wear road uniforms of a contrasting color for our NIT games. Anything to avoid the kitty-litter grey.

Once you go black…

I totally agree with Adler’s opinion on uniforms.

Matt from A700 · March 14, 2022

I do not mind the black jerseys, though I think other colors like blue or red go with black a lot better than green. However, I have never like gray jerseys for anything. I agree they need to go.

If the story above is true, that is too bad. But I look forward to seeing the white jerseys back next year.

Green Otaku · March 14, 2022

I just can't believe that story is true. It's not like UNT pays for jerseys, they are provided by Nike. UNT could simply ask for more if they needed to.

Black and green together look lifeless and drab because they are the two most light absorbent colors. They look bad together up close, horrible when viewed from seating in an arena, and downright pitiful on television.

(This is up close. From the stands, or worse on television, these uniforms blend into the background)

The kitty-litter grays just look ugly.

And, of course they're both cursed, and they cause us to miss free throws. Burn them after this season. 04-cheers

There really should be a whine about uniform colors/attendance issues forum.

TIgreen01 · March 14, 2022

God bless you, Adler. Keep fighting the good fight. Grey is hideous. Black only on blackout games, max of once per season per sport…and never during bowl games or tournaments.

Those grey jackets are quite popular. I saw a bunch of people wearing them into Kyiv this week.

And with matching hats too....

White should be 2-2.

It’s updated here with picture evidence attached. Also fixed that white record.

ADLER · March 15, 2022

The "kitty-litter grey" uniforms were used as home uniforms for all the nob-challenging conference games, weren't our colors, and of course looked extremely ugly.

You were at the UTEP game. Our off-color uniforms came back to curse the team when it mattered most. Have we ever shot 6 of 18 free throws in the first half before? Has any champions team? Many of those misses were front of 1-and-1's. Make only 3 of those and we're in the Big Dance this week.

I see we've shifted from "we lose all our games" or "we play like shit", to "we lose the ones that matter." In our situation, the latter isn't really a curse.

Carry on.

I mean...if that's you...then no. absolutely not. that look is clean AF...and not dissimilar to my current appearance (grayer beard...more layers bc it's still cold in Maine)

having just started the Laker series on HBO, I can't wait to turn into late 70s-era Jerry Buss.
