I am disappointed BECAUSE for the entire spring and summer we have been told about this new fangled uniform that everybody was going to love. Many of you have stated that you can't wait to see them. Then they trot out the same tired design, except for a change of font?????? That is why there is a debate.

Some of you, I am sure, that if they came out in all white with dog crap smeared on them that you would think that it was a good look. Think about the best uniforms in C.Football today and then compare with ours.

Oh ya, and Fouts is a GREAT stadium too. wink.gif

The new helmets look absolutely terrible. They look terrible in the paper as well as on TV. This is the result of a politician trying to play Athletic Director.

They don't look terrible. They look ok, not ideal, but nowhere near terrible. I'm afraid this is an overreaction.

I agree... the helmets are the worst in 1A. I was not a big fan of the script, but its a lot better than the crap we have on our helmet now.

I like the North Texas font... just not on a helmet.

Last yr our uniforms/helmet were perfect. We shouldn't have changed them.

That is what I was trying to say - that the font looks terrible on the helmets. I don't mind it in the end zone or on paper - but it does NOT look good on a helmet. I can't think of a helmet that looks worse in college football.

We have known for a long time that there would be no new uniforms this year. Several months. I don't know why everyone acts so surprised. It will be okay, I don’t think anyone is not going to come to a game or watch a game because they “just can’t stand to look at that uniform.” If that is the case, then we don’t need them as a fan. I guess in the future the university should okay everything they do with Tony. He obviously has the only opinion that counts and everything he doesn’t like is dog poo. huh.gif

I actually like this design. Yes, we could have done better...but I think this one will grow on me faster than the script did. I remember (very well) the looks on all of our faces when the team ran out of that tunnel with the script on their hats. We had no warning at all, and you could hear the crowd in section E yelling " What the HELL?" I was sick? This design didnt do anything like that to me... that has to be a good sign. Like it or not, this is what RV is going with, which makes it a mute point in my book. We back RV, so we back this helmet. (I know, there was an outside influence here, but we do what we have to do to support Rick)

We'll get used to it, guys... hang in there.

Honestly guys/gals, they really aren't THAT different. The average joe schmo college football fan isn't even going to notice that we've changed anything. The color is the same, and the rest of the uni looks almost identical (outside of the gigantic numbers).

My wife actually commented that the new helmets were easier to read on TV than the older script ones. Much as I hate change, I have to agree with her.

Now....what to expect next year when we supposedly conform to the new shade of green???......

My wife said the same thing. RV wants the average college football fan to flip on the tv and be able to know that North Texas is playing as soon as they see the helmet. The helmets could have pictures of Robert Blake paying a hitman to shoot his wife on them for all I care, as long as we are winning ballgames.

The numbers on the jerseys are way too big and make our players look like midgets.   blink.gif

Large numbers so that NT fans can see the numbers while sitting in far away seats at Fouts. ph34r.gif

For the record, I do not like the new helmet logo. Rather have the script North Texas if we can't have an interlocked NT in some form.

Man, I really disagree... In fact, I really like the font the numbers are in, and I must say, I like the embroidered numbers when compared to the iron on look seen on most unis, including in the pros (See Dallas Cowboys). I like the new font, and it's VERY easy to see the North Texas on the helmet.

Other than NORTH TEXAS in the prescribed font, what else would you have rather seen? The new eagle logo would have been OK, but since the Football Team is the "MEAN GREEN" I'd say that would just add to the confusion.

In my opinion these uniforms below are the best uniforms and we should have stuck with them (just not the star logo on the outside shoulder):

You know what I think?

It really doesn't matter what I think. And for that matter, it really doesn't matter what any of us think about the unis this year. The program isn't going to shell out money for new unis, and we've already had the discussion that these are just for this year.

All this jawing on about a uniform that won't be here next year anyway is really a lot of wasted energy. Rather than moaning about unis, how about we focus on what matters- and that's the Tulsa game!

I understand that... but why have NORTH TEXAS plastered on the helmet?

Second option: no text on jersey and have eagle logo on helmet.

I dont mind the North Texas on the helmet for a couple of more years, if we jumped out there this year and put the new ealge on the helmet then nobody outside GMG.com would have any idea who was playing in the game when there flipping through the channels. Now once that new ealge logo becomes more of a household image in a couple of years then i would like to see the change made but untill then lets keep it simple and go with what has worked the last few years and stay with North Texas on the Helmet.

Now on to what type of font. I loved the script, but we no longer use that anywhere, not on the (field, stadium, media guide, fan guide), no where. So if were not going to use the script anymore then we have to take it off the helmet as well. Since what they put on the helmet is the new font that is being used everywhere (the end zones, the media guide, the fan guide, the pictures on the website, etc...) then its the one that needs to be on the helmet for now.

Not much we as fans can do right now about the Tulsa game other than bring as many people to the game as possible. For now, I just jump in on the threads at GOMEANGREEN.COM and give my opinion.

How will the eagle logo get any recognition/household appeal if we never use it?

From what im hearing there is a greater then ZERO chance that it will be painted at Midfield, if this is the case, and being that it was used on the telecast last week, we have ESPN 2 coming in here this year, and the more publictiy we raise by winning football games will make it a household image.

I know everyone is going to hate me for this, but I'd like to see the new full sized eagle on a helmet. The only thing THAT would look is a big interlocking NT but obviously thats never going to happen. The 'son of the worm' would be second best.

Don't know if this is a poll or not but I:

Like the helmet (scripting) better than last year.

I also like the "Mean Green" on the chest.

Don't like the large numbers.

Have never liked black socks.

I think the coaches could use better uniforms.

I also like not seeing a water boy for the head coach?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
