Our 2006 Helmets?

GreenN'walinsVet · August 9, 2005

If there any chance that they will take all writing off the helmet and jsut have the new logo aka(the son of the worm) on the side of the helmet instead of either "North Texas" or "Mean Green"???

UNTLifer · August 9, 2005

My guess is North Texas in a new font.

Hopefully a combination of the new eagle logo along with 'North Texas' or 'Mean Green' below it.

This is from a highly knowledgeable AD source so I will not name names but the new helmets for this season will be:

All green, all white, green with white center stripe, or white with green center stripe.

Face mask will be green, white, black, or gray.

Logo will be either stacked North Texas, stacked Mean Green, horizontal UNT, interlocked NT, stairstepped UNT, stairstepped NT, new eagle head, new full body eagle, new eagle claw, new eagle head, or no logo at all.

This much I am sure of.

Thank you...I really found this helpful and informative. You must have the same source I do!

My source told me that they have narrowed the list down to only two options.

Option 1 will be very similar to the helmets worn by the Philadelphia Eagles because the administration wants to capitalize on the recent success Philadelphia has experienced.

The second option being considered would be a full helmet logo and feature the latest in airbrush artwork technology. The helmet would be enveloped with the entire head of an eagle; the beak at the front of helmet (just above the facemask) and eyes on both sides complemented by white and black feathers covering the rest of the helmet. This option would give the appearance of larger-than-life eagle heads and could be completed by the tailgate artist at any local automotive body shop.

Actually, the helmet is going to resemble the head of Hawkman on Buck Rogers.

Hell, why wear helmets at all. Think of all the facial exposure our athletes will recieve on national TV. North Texas would pioneer the new look. Or perhaps a face gaurd similar to Rip Hamilton's with a small Daffy Eagle logo on each cheek.

There was a photo when the new AC opened of RV at his desk (in either the NT Daily or DRC). Behind him on shelves were several helmets with North Texas in the new font in various forms on them. The helmets were gone the next week when fans took tours.

My sources told me the we were going to use the new Eagle logo but it was ruled academically ineligible.

Oh, wait ... wrong thread. Sorry.

No they weren't. Look for "North Texas" in a new font.

The infamous photo with the new helmet designs was on the original post showing off the new AC. I guess the photo was mysteriously lost
