One person's hat design. I'd wear this,

[FirefightnRick]

Someone dropped this hat off for me to post and let me say, this is the true KELLY green that we all wore back in the 80's. As you can see it's bright and I like it.

A few things I would improve upon with this hat design is to eliminate the lightning bolt since MTSU's horse uses that, have it with black top button and vent holes and I would outline all the white lettering with black or use a combination of both black and white.

Thoughts?

Perhaps instead of the bolt, maybe a long thin bar about the same length?

I want a green hat with the new eagle in white. The option of the full "in flight eagle" or the eagle head would be nice. The new logo's have really grown on me. I think they are something that we can identify with for a long time.

Not bad. I like the color.

I think it would look better with MEAN GREEN done in the "official" font. And maybe make the Texas emblem bigger.

I'd wear it, but I wouldn't buy it. Everything should display the new logos/fonts. It can still have just "NT", but with one of the Eagle logos and Mean Green in official font.

These are on sale at Hat World in the Golden Triangle....Both feature the new Font "UNT" on the back of the hat....Saw them last week....the white one is really clean looking! Both are stretch fit "fitted" hats...

If the new MG gear branding takes as long to be available in stores as when Helwig and company's were back in 1995, we all might have a 3 year wait before any stores (outside of Denton's who sometimes take their time, too); anyway, it may be a while before any DFW stores carry any of our new officially licensed stuff. Look at TV coverage of NT, they are still using the fonts and logos from the Helwig era, ie, the UNT in the circle with the burnt orange and dark blue.

I think we all see UT and TAMU gear in so many different fonts and styles, its hard to determine what their school's officials have now as their official "up-dated" brandings.

Of course, on the other side of that coin, we didn't have Lids type stores (for us in the Big Cities) in the mid-90's, either, whose main focus is college and pro caps. The ones in the post above are super, super nice but who the heck outside this board knows what eagles those represent? Many transplants (or even native Texans for that matter) in the DFW area would swear those 2 caps represent the Philadelphia Eagles.

I like the sculptured eagle better.

I liked that new NT eagle logo from the git-go; now if they could have just put an "N T" near the eagle then you have a "non Philly Eagle" winner of a cap!

Of course concerning this subject, I thought Rick V and NT Athletics were sorta' pushing, uh, "Mean Green" over anything of an "eagle'ish" nature? Also, if all will recall, this new eagle logo did not come from (or came as a suggestion from) the NT Athletic Department, either.

When Fry was once asked why he chose to emphasize Mean Green over Eagles, he said there is only "1" Mean Green in NCAA D1 college athletics and numerous schools with eagles as their mascot.

It's the wrong color.

[NT80]

It looks sorta old school; I'd add a Mean Green under his talon like in the old flying worm days!
