Why a Green vs Black, and not a Green vs White Spring? The answer is -

I don't get too caught up in whether we wear black or not, but once I saw Green and Black, that took the cake. We are Green and White. Why are we having a Green and Black game? Our school colors are Green and White. That's what we should be wearing. We have a pro football hall of famer who wore green and white. I don't give a crap about the kids today who will most likely never be hall of famers wanting to wear black. This game needs to be Green and White.

Lame

If they gave away the white jerseys and are most likely working on design changes for next season, why waste the money and buy new white jerseys for a Spring scrimmage?

I hope it's not just an excuse to wear black.

I actually enjoy an alternate uniform every now and then.  I’m not a fan of black, but even with that, I wouldn’t oppose a blackout game once a year.  The problem I have is when there is no true uniform and every week seems to be something different that requires a “uniform unveiling.”

If they keep doing this crap I may pull myself out of the donation picture.  Our colors are Green and White.  Subject closed.

If they keep giving their players the bowl jerseys to keep you’ll pull the donation? Weird hill but it’s your money I guess.

I got to admit, I'm now tired of seeing alternative uniforms all the time. Seems we have overused alt-uniforms to the point that our regular uniforms have become the alternatives. Mosley needs to reign in the use of alternative uniforms and relegate them back to their original intent. This season, I'll be wearing green at every game. No white-outs, or black-outs for me. I hope other will join me. Go Mean Green!!!

That's something this gen looks forward to.  You make is sound like a burden.  To them, it's opening a new gift.

Seems like too much of a good thing.  Unveilings for home opener, road opener, an alternate uniform (or two), and hopefully a bowl game.

It’s almost like the uniforms are for the players and not septuagenarian fans…

The uniforms represent The University of North Texas, and that’s all of us.

Thank goodness our military doesn’t follow this guideline. 
The uniform is for the university these young men and women represent.

      That’s very impressive. Let’s NIL their director.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better than these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us? I'm interested in hearing from "letsgiveacheer" about this.
