2005 NT Mini Helmet

[NT91]

If i can get 12 people that want the new NT mini helmet, how many would buy one?

[Rudy]

At least one here. How much are we talking about?

[NT91]

Around $23.00

[Eagle1855]

id take one

[emmitt01]

You can put me down for 5 of them and I'll worry about finding buyers (if 12 people don't step forward in a reasonable amount of time, otherwise put me down for 1).

IMHO (and upon further review and looking at those letters in person and on TV this football season) they may not be the worst we've had at NT but they are sure up there toward the top.

I know, one NT alum's branding junk is another NT alums' branding treasure. I really have tried to like those letters given to all of us by our branding committee, but I just cannot fully embrace them as a long term branding representation for our school. I'd bet some of you may feel the same. Of course, some of you won't.

Looks like someone on our campus branding committee grabbed a 1972 clip art book and discovered those latest letter configurations in that book before someone else beat us to them? (insert sarcasm-----Green Grenade II, now just see what you have started with all these sarcastic posts)?

I see an "N T" in our Mean Green helmet future and we know we can argue on how that should look till the cows come home, but an "N T" you can make larger (more visible to TV viewers) on the helmet than the 10-letter "North Texas" that we have now allows and to the well informed college football public..............how could "N" and "T" be anything except "North" and "Texas" ? ? ? ? NOTE: All those regional and national TV appearances the last few years by our Mean Green have made that a reality to many sports fans across the USA).

I still like the connected and slanted "N T" such as the one that GMG.com poster "keith" has on his icon (or maybe even a slight variation of that). Not sure we neccesarily need to put the "N T" inside the state of Texas icon, though.

Info about the 2005 mini helmets:

......................................................................................................

Yes, I have found a company who is doing the decals, so I can do the helmets. The trademark issue gets touchy, so we couldn't produce the decals ourselves.

If you are interested the helmets are $24.95 plus $5 for shipping. You can pay through Paypal.com to jorosports@aol.com or you can pay with check or money order payable to John Wolfe and mail to:

John Wolfe

4705 Henshaw Lane

Pasadena, Maryland 21122

Just confirm your order and I will put you down for one or more. It will probably be about 3 weeks until I receive the decals.

Thanks,

John

[NT91]

Thanks NT80!!

[Eagle1855]

Just ordered mine...

Just curious, which one of you guys has the most NT mini's in your collection?

Edited November 11, 2005 by Eagle1855

[NT91]

I have them from 1967-2004

I have 10 mini helmets, with two signed by Joe Greene and one by Abner Haynes. I have 3 full-sized game helmets, one Daffy eagle, and two Flying Worm helmets, one signed by Hayden Fry. I gave away a 1-AA helmet to Stebo. The wife thinks I'm obsessed.

By the way. In MY opinion, last years helmet was different than the other script helmets. Why? The Number "12" was on the back honoring Andrew Smith. I have a script helmet with an added number "12". Did anyone else do this? Just wondering?

[NT91]

Need your input.

John needs to know the following.

Based on what I have seen it looks like the helmet is a kelly green metallic. Does that sound correct? Also what color is the mask? Do you know if they have any special lettering on the front and back?
