I had a pair of custom flags made.  They mount on the front corners of my vehicle.  (Very dignitary-like.). I went with the logo of my time at NTSU/UNT.

Academy Sports + Outdoors One Push 10 ft x 10 ft Texas Straight Leg Canopy - view number 1

 

I've seen Academy sell these pop-up canopies for several years now. How hard could it be for someone in charge of NT gear-promotions to contact the company that makes these for Academy and ask how much they would charge to change the color scheme in order to turn it into a NT Battle Flag canopy. 

No new design. Just use the same pattern and change the color of the material used.

 

 

The same with this.

The pop-up canopy is $179, the oversized chair is $39, as is the "camping table". The "fishing-type" shirts were $25. A bargain compared to what they cost just about anywhere else. The pop-up is too high for individuals, but Academy has put their 10X10 basic pop-up canopies on sale for $39. Check with the individual stores. They don't all have "green" in stock.

Why not use the current logo?  I get that this represents your time at North Texas, but the average person will be clueless.

Edit: Didn't mean to sound critical, but we change color and logos like some of you change underwear, so I was thinking of this from a publicity/marketing point of view.

I may do that too, but I’ve got a bit of a “corridor of years” theme going down.  The son of worm (current logo) is on my trailer hitch cover, the flying worm is on a full sized North Texas State flag I fly on the back, the battle flag is on my spare tire cover, and the NT Alumni logo is on a decal on the back window.

As I understand it, it’s gaming.  It’s gotten pretty popular. There are tournaments and even scholarships available.

Just FYI - at the end of September last year these canopies went on sale for $70, I got one then.

I don't get it either, but I would argue that it is a sport based on the below. This is what I got from Google which piggybacks off of the Oxford English Dictionary, I'm sure other arguments could be made based on other dictionaries definitions.  

SPORT

An activity involving physical exertion and skill, esp. (particularly in modern use) one regulated by set rules or customs in which an individual or team competes against another or others

EXERTION
 
Physical or mental effort.
 
 
A Men's Health article reports you can burn about 420 calories over 2 hours which is what Harvard Health says you can burn while bowling

The video game industry is already bigger than all the major sports leagues combined.

It's coming, whether you think it should be or not.

I don’t deny the industry and if it is coming, I just deny that playing a computer game should be called participating in a sport.

That's neat.  I wasn't responding to you.

My response would be, maybe it's time we reconsider the traditional definition of sport.  Language evolves.

I always considered a "sport" something physical.  Video gaming to me seems more mental.  I guess the hand controller inputs could be considered physical?    Are chess, monopoly, and poker sports?

We are drifting away from the topic, but here is another UNT Esports video that gives more information.   Interesting to hear there are Esports scholarships at UNT.   Not sure about NIL.  Ha.

I gotta admit, I don’t know much about Esports, but when my son was younger, he asked me to take him to an Esports Counterstrike GO tournament.  These were professional gamers competing for big money.  I was shocked to see all the pomp and circumstance of a WWE event.  Lights, music, smoke machines, etc. in a sold out arena.  Tons of merch for sale and sponsorships.  Kids were waiting in line to get autographs from their favorite gamers.  It’s hard to describe, but it was definitely more than watching people play monopoly.

      What is this program missing?

      Their coach was previously at LSU and was pushed out for NCAA infractions. He is a good very good coach and recruits well so I personally am not troubled by this road loss.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Not sure everyone is understanding of college football landscape. Miami paid a transfer DL $250,000 AND THE DUDE DOESN'T PLAY, He is a back up (insurance policy if you will.) I totally understand on not wanting to throw money at players but the reality is if you can pay, kids will join. If not, you're relying on finding kids who don't care about money (GOOD LUCK) and just want to compete and win football games. On our current roster 4 players from Littrell era contributed to wins this season. Jordan Brown, Damon Ward, Jett Duncan, and Rod Brown. We played 10 games with a very sub par DC. We did not pursue the portal near hard enough to help fill holes in the defensive scheme. IMO at our level we should be a 4 down front with the ability to hop in and out of 3 down when needed in favorable down and distances. 46 players on the current roster are Jr or Sr. The vast majority of this roster are So, RS Fr, and the biggest group being true Freshman. You don't win a bunch of games at any level with a bunch of true freshman. The fact we've been in them to compete has been a miracle (No I am not happy we aren't pulling them out or winning.) The young and transfer talent they have brought in is encouraging to me personally. Should we play better, should we be making more plays, ABSOLUTELY. However, coach can't catch the ball for guys, coach can't catch wide open TD's for guys. Coach can't magically make a walk on WR/ ST guy into a bonafide D1 RB. Our scholarship RB's have been banged up like crazy and we have relied on a walk on, and 2 True Freshman RB. I think we go to Temple, play very well and get into a bowl game and then its on. Coach lost our most productive OL in pregame to a freak injury...... PREGAME. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. Is he perfect? no, but to call for the staff and his job is silly in year 2. The guy did a total rebuild last year and had us IN games with a completely rebuilt roster. He needs to make the right DC hire in the offseason. My pick is La Tech current DC. We will see what happens.

      What is this program missing?

      We need an offensive coach who puts the defense first. All the teams mentioned (Boise, Tcu, Cincy, UCF) had badass defenses paired with high flying offenses. You CAN still play fundamentally sound defensive football but you can’t pair it with an offense that kids don’t want to play in (what doomed Mac). I actually think DD in 2024 would do both. So the answer is find the next Darrell Dickey. HFC is tricky to hire. He’s got to be someone that can recruit assistants, first and foremost. Dickey had been around a long time and came from a football family (his Dad was KSU HFC) so he had ties everywhere. With a young coach you are betting that he, himself, is going to win games and account for a lack of a deep staff…or that other coaches see him as someone on the rise that they ride the ladder with. That’s what Littrell initially brought and his first staff was tremendous. Then as they started taking promotions he couldn’t replace them. I don’t know this for sure, but Morris doesn’t seem able to bring in enough experienced coaches, yet. His first staff was extremely underwhelming from a resume standpoint. All the doom and gloom in this thread is tiring. UNT still funds the football program at a level that is competitive with the top of the g5. Maybe we need to bring up NIL, but overall, we’re not nearly as far off as some people would have you believe.
