I felt this coming from you lol

But NT typically doesn’t play well on the road in anything not white/green. Example, ODU/Charlotte/FIU etc

[meangreenlax]

The black jersey does not work, especially with white pants and the TX outline helmet. It looks like we're a high school that can afford a second set of jerseys, but only one pair of pants.

Stick with the damn green jersey/white pants with the white or green helmet. The Oregon 72 uniform combinations moment is over.

Forget how stylish our uniforms look.  Learn to tackle.  Learn to block, throw, catch.  I’m tired of uniform talk.  Go back to green and white.  You know, our school colors.  It’s not how good you look.  So just stop it!

[Mike Jackson]

I am not 100% against the black jerseys at home once a season MAX.  Maybe the game right before Halloween if we at home within 5 days before.  From a branding recognition standpoint it absolutely STUPID to wear predominantly black when it’s not one of your primary colors when you are on the road.  I might be wrong so can a marketing major speak on this?  Because to this laymen it seems so bad 'stupid' is an understatement.

I thought the black jerseys/helmet looked good early in the game. The green got lost when the sun went down. 

[MeanGreen4Life1998]

I’ve been fine with that. But i also believe you don’t wear any color that isn’t your traditional colors. I’d love to make the NT throwbacks our only uniforms

Alternate color unis ONCE a year for any sport besides Geen and White. Across the sports, we cluster F the advantage of marketing the "Mean Green" name (For example on St Patrick's Day the softball team's game was on TV and the introduction was "Where else would you want to be today other than the home of the Mean Green." We run out in freaking black on this of all days. And yes, I know there will be "the players like it", but when you are historically bad branding and being able to promote alumni interest, maybe you would get the hint what you have been doing has failed.

IMHO, we have no identity. We can't decide on any one uniform. Go to a classic design and stick with it. Icy whites on the road (with an occasional green pants) and throw back worm unis on homecoming.  Ok, black on Halloween, but that's it. Let's form an identity that's recognizable and stick with it.

Would that include a diving bat on the helmet? Now that would be pretty cool.....😎

Black jerseys or black pants are fine but either one should always be paired with green.

Enough with the cool stylish uniforms.  They still look like shit when we play like shit.  

[97and03]

No white pants. It’s after Labor Day.

Apparently that also translates to no wins after Labor Day.

[meaniegreenie]

I agree with getting rid of the black jerseys, but don't forget this started MUCH LONGER ago with the band wearing black uniforms.  I think I remember them doing this all the way back into the 80s when I jokingly called them the "Black Brigade".

Do these thigh pads make my butt look big?

Wow that is even worse.  Dare I say that should be someone's first strike in their HR evaluation file.  I hate to fire anyone but sometimes a person his too dumb to hang on to.  This is so dumb that if the person was in charge of something that affected compliance if could lose scholarships for you and get you a post season band.  Who knows what dumb crap they other dumb stuff they would do  if "players liked and requested it".

No! The black uniforms are different and awesome! Love the lime green uniforms from 1978

I agree. Once a year at home, maybe tie in a good game theme with it like "Black Out Cancer." But go all out. Green and black just don't go well together in my mind like blue and black, or red and black do. And black jerseys on white or green pants looks bad to me, too. If we're going to wear black, do both black jerseys and pants.

Then a normal white set and green set. Special set each year for homecoming. Doesn't necessarily have to be flying worm throwbacks. It could be a special city jersey like UH just did powder blue Oiler-type jerseys the other week. Would love to see an homage to Necessary Roughness and do Texas State Armadillos jersey one year. Kathy Ireland with the honary coin toss!

Exactly!  A stately look that never goes out of style.

You can start using the American's highlights, leave that CUSA stuff behind. 

 

[TreeFiddy]

Even the highlights from the AAC couldn't keep us from looking pathetic.

Agree, it was a poor look uniform set.  The black uniforms and black shoes looked slow and we played slow.   It felt like DD was coaching his last game again.

[golfingomez]

yeah, i'm not a fan of these uniforms, i don't like the black jerseys in general. 

 

Add that to trying to watch a game on FIU's field at night, with FIU wearing a god-awful shade of blue and my eyes hurt... 

What is up with their stadium? it seems like they have limited lighting, and the turf is the wrong shade of green.
