Thanks for everyone's comments. The new design is below.

The North Texas Exes, Denton Chapter, have created a special shirt for the North Texas vs. Navy game and the shirts are for sale to the public. Beginning April 16th the shirts will be available for purchase at the Exes Center for $12 each. Shirts must be purchased in person. There will be no mail order for this project. Proceeds from the shirt sales go to student scholarships. Questions? Call the Exes at 1-800-UNT-1153 or locally at 940-565-2834.

One suggestion: The NORTH TEXAS you've used is from the academic wordmarks. Per UNT's branding website, the academic wordmarks are preferred for academic and administrative use. For sports, UNT prefers the NORTH TEXAS spirit mark, which is a slightly different font and style. You'll find the spirit marks on the UNT football helmets, t-shirts, hats, etc.

Here is a link to the UNT branding website, where vector images of spirit marks, spirit images, and combinations of the marks and images are available for download:

Using the word marks looks better then the spirit marks given the size of the text. Damn the R and O for mating in the spirit marks.

To be quite frank, I don't understand why we have two different sets.

Edit: I can't spell.

I, too, like the new design. But, then, I liked the first one too. Call me "graphics challenged"...anyway the new design looks good. I'll buy it and a few extras for friends. Let's hand it to the Denton Exes for doing something fun and positive and responding to a few people's "concerns" with the original design. Let's buy the T-shirts and let's wear them to the Navy game!!!! The Denton Exes need our support for getting this project rolling....BUY "em now...call the Exes and order yours today....my order is already in! See you at the game...love the idea about selling them at the spring game. GO MEAN GREEN!

Bravo!

And thanks for the timely response for what could have been a very sensitive issue, especially those from the Naval Academy who will visit Fouts this Fall (along with their parents/relatives/friend) and...............Roger Staubauch!

I think many would agree that the Cadets of Army can say or use "Sink Navy" in any form, fashion, yell or graphic arts on any T-shirt and get away with it; just not sure a civilian-oriented campus like UNT could ever do the same, though; but as always, just my .02 on this issue.

Previously stated: "this might offend the astronomy club though because it shows stars sinking, and if stars were sinking on earth that would be a good indicator the world is coming to an end, therefore it is not appropriate."

I liked the first shirt and I don't think it was disrespectful, but the second shirt looks good too. It's not like we are saying "Navy sucks! (in bold letters)Btw...News Flash - our ships arent getting sunk in Iraq.

I'm from a military family and they thought the first shirt was better and not offensive. It is a football game/rivalry....just my two cents.

I don't understand it, either. I don't know if other universities do the same thing - have one set of marks for its academic departments and another set for sports and other non-academic activities. But it especially doesn't make sense when you're trying to establish a new branding identity.

I would like to see an effort to get a shirt printed for every home game. I get a Lobo blast every week during football season with the UNM shirt for the upcoming home game. For example they have the New Mexico showdown (NMSU), the Border Battle with UTEP - heck we could name some of our battles to give the event an identity. Those programs we are still building our relationship with would get the "Sink Navy" treatment. Further, you buy all shirts at the front of the season and get one for free: Metroplex Showdown (SMU), Border War (OU), Cook the Ragin Cajuns" "Topple Troy," "Blast the Blue Raiders," Ambush Arkie State". Mean Green diehards would have their gear ironed, hung up in logical order and ready to go before the end of August!

If you gave shirts like these away to students (with ID) as they walk through the gates...you might see a boost in attendance.

This is a great idea. I'll put my order in for two of each right know. Where do I send the orders?

Even a better idea, I'll put you down for funding the first 10,000. When can the Athletic Department expect the check?

The shirts that UNM sells before every week's game look more like bowl game shirts as opposed to high school spirit ribbons.

I love seeing stadiums decked out in solid color like the bright yellow gold shirts the entire student section wore in Tempe on a couple of Mean Green occasions.

You do realize that most large, BcS, conference schools do this, don't you? Alienate someone because they "hated the athletics environment at their high school?" I would hope we've grown out of that by college.

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      I’m just not that gutted this morning. Now if our defense reverts back to giving up 45 on Friday, I will be upset. And it could totally happen as they play O down south. We are a rhythm offense. We could never catch a rhythm and the defense really played hard. They were wacked and kept giving us a random chance. I’d take a fraction of that resolve in San Antonio and if we get it we win. Morris and the team will see space and gaps and speedy receivers getting open in Green. It will be a telling game and the beasts who they played hard against are in the rearview. San Antonio and East Carolina will be tough, but right now the focus is getting 6. Then get more, then win the bowl game. There are still juicy elevation goals ahead. GMG

      I understand what you’re saying, but I think we’ll just disagree on this. Turning my attention to UTSA.

      It is a bad defense that can't be judged like a regular decent defense. To say the defense played anything short of at least decent defense is just unfair to them. But they had an extra week to prepare. 🤷🏽‍♂️. This is just too much like Seth Littrell. An offensive coach who can win games against equal competition at over 0.500. And no shot to win against teams on par with us without stellar QB play or weather conditions favoring a dominant group of running backs. What was the point of paying Seth not to coach this year if you were just going to hire an Air Raid clone who overvalues defenses specifically designed ONLY to slow down the Air Raid?

      Their job is to score points, not limit possessions. News Flash: Army has long drives against EVERYBODY; so if your strategy is to play keep away from a team that is the absolute best at keep away, you are plain dumb. The offense put up three, that’s 1…2…3 points. It is absolute lunacy to say an offense that failed to put up points on THREE separate trips inside the 15 yard line was hamstrung by a defense that surrendered a total of 14.

      Attendance

      Army is an incredibly classy program and playing them and having them in the conference is a powerful boost to the credibility of OUR program. I’ve been to 99% of the games at DATCU and that is the best that stadium has ever looked. It is also impressive how, after the game, Army comes to our side and stands at attention for the playing of our school song. That type of respect for others is missing in our society now. I wanted Army to lose against us, but I will be rooting for them the rest of the season.
