100% agree. North Texas has managed to screw up the Mean Green marketing like no other school could probably do. But by all means we are proof that changing uniform combinations weekly will make you play better. And yes I know the next comment will be but the players like changing it up. In this day and time when half a roster may hit the portal every year please show me one player who has ever said I chose to go to a school or I am staying at this school because I like the uniforms we wear.

This again??!  
 

Until you can tell me that going to a predictable, consistent, uniform combination leads to WINNING…I just don’t care. 
 

Oregon must surely be distraught this morning after securing the overall #1 seed in the CFP while wearing green helmets and black jerseys last night.  
 

We whine about uniforms because we don’t have WINNING to worry about.

I don’t equate uniforms to winning.  Just to identity.  I actually like some of the uniforms, but would prefer to have a constant identity.

I make no apologies when I say these helmets look like trash. The offset placement of our logo is a terrible design choice because it leaves way too much negative space at the front of the helmet.

Don't use Oregon as the example of why it's OK for schools to change their look more than Lady Gaga.

Oregon is sui generis. They have the brains and riches of the biggest sports brand in the world backing what they do.

We, uh, don't.

I'd favor any uniform look for us as long as we used it all but one or two times a year. We could even go back to the helmet from my era where the eagle has been broken into pieces by a T sexing an N from behind.

We need more of this badass (possibly tweaked a little, e.g. change NT to the interlocked NT)

And I still like this helmet idea, especially in green.

Whatever the design is—hopefully a good one—we need to commit. North Texas may be one of the larger universities in the state, but it struggles with brand recognition beyond its borders. The solution? Find a design that works, truly works, and stick with it. Win or lose, be proud of the brand. Own it, and let it speak for itself.

We spend way too much time worrying about uniforms and helmets.  None of that matters if you don’t win meaningful football games and end the season with more wins than losses.

If you're gonna put "Mean Green" on the helmets/basketball unis......make the letters look bold, or "mean" if you will. Not this cursive script crapola, that you can't even read.

I really like this and wish we’d use it all the time, but the size definitely needs to adjusted to make it fit on the helmet better.

SOW hasn’t aged very well and looks pretty bad in a 2d flat format. I wish we’d stop trying a ton of things, but that itself is almost our identity.

Add the other 8 or 9 logos we've had, along with 13 other shades of green, and a few more fonts and I think this would start to capture our "identity".

It is just plain stupid to radically change your uniforms every week when you have as close to ZERO as possible athletic brand recognition with as much history as we have.    We do a horrible job marketing that history and our historical uniforms.  What is worse at lot of the uniforms are just plain ugly and the ones everyone seems to love (like the icy whites) are rarely repeated.  So whenever we do have a signature win it likely that the next time we are on TV to reinforce that positive perception we are in uniforms so different that people may not recognize us.  And can we stop with the inserting black as much as possible in all the uniforms and helmets?   I think it is cool to wear black for home night games or home games played within 48 hours before Halloween.

Yes, I was going to point this out was well.
The angle of FW allows it to be positioned more forward/centered on the helmet whereas SOW is forced toward the back, leaving the empty space.

Make the SOW a little smaller.  It doesn't have to be that big.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
