Scrap The Spelled Out "North Texas" on the Helmet!

[PlummMeanGreen]

I am sure the "North Texas" will grow on us eventually, but don't most schools in NCAA D1-A merely use their school's abbreviations or a simple logo, ie, UT and SMU?

I've seen some very nice 2 letter "N T" 's on this message board created by some of you digital graphic artists. When you put 2 letters on your helmet you have some room to work with as to make those 2 letters quite large, much larger than having the 10 letters on a helmet that are in the 2 words......."North Texas."

Yet who could get "N T" confused when its on a Mean Green football helmet? We know few would ever think those 2 letters stand for, uh, "Northern Telecom". Last I checked, Northern Telecom does not have a football team at any level of the NCAA.

NT surely will never be known in sports circles for having much imagination in creating the good uniform look, helmets included. But that is my my .02 on that subject and we know there are a few of those on GMG.com.

GMG!

maybe im in the minority but i thought the jerseys looked very sharp last night. i actually did like the helmets. why be like everyone else?

I liked the new look and new shade of green the helmets used. It was more of a D1A look IMO.

My guess is if we grow the program they way we are currently eventually can justdrop the orth and exas and just have the NT on there

I have to admit I liked the new helmets. The old script took time to get used to, but I thought it looked a little "high-schoolish". The block lettering does look more like a college helmet.

I'm on board with the new look. (And beating MTSU in their new stadiums may have influenced my outlook a little????)

GMG!!!

Was that a different shade of green ? It looked exactly the same on TV. Also, the new lettering is barely legible from a distance. IMHO it's a BAD look ! But as long as we keep winning, I won't get too bent out of shape. Please NO BLACK PANTS !

No, it was the same green as last year. They didn't have time to change the green for this season before the order was due so it will be next year when we get the new color on the unis.

I like the new logo font better than the script. And I was afraid they were going to make the Texas smaller then North as in the decals they gave out with the season tickets. I'm glad they kept the words the same size and just offset them. It could be larger to be more visable from a distance, and better yet would be just a NT on them!

The helmets looked a little lighter and less metallic. Oh well, it was probably the lighting.

I liked the new look and we just need to get on board and keep winning.

All this discussion on the look is killing me. Lets embrace the new marks and make them our own and put the Eagle everywhere so there is no dought who or where we come from.
