'63 and '67 were the best helmets, IMHO...

But, to reiterate what several others have said...let's just pick something and stick with it for awhile. NOT, however, that damn '94 helmet!!! :thumbdown:

Did anyone see the 1978 - 1982 Troy helmets? Just be happy our "texted" helmets don't look like that. That helmet looks like a peewee helmet. I have never been a fan of the "flying worm" design but i really like the North Texas 1979 - 1982 helmet. Just to cause an uproar, I think the new helmets will look really good so everyone chill and wait and see what they look like.

I try to not be too negative and rant and rave about the helmets, but there have been some questionable decisions. The "North Texas" on the helmet is not my favorite, but I can live with it. The new white helmets will look sharp I'm sure. Maybe not the Wow factor, but sharp and conservative.

Is it me or does the 1968-71 helmet look like it was inspired by Pink Floyd: The Wall

And the '72 helmet looks like the REO Speedwagon logo. I gotta say, since FFRick posted this the other day, I'm pretty high on this one.

It would even look good on a white helmet. I imagine we could leave out the "Exes" part, though.

Matt Simon is the 'artist' who came up with that helmet design.

I heard it was done rather quickly and they just took the first computer clip-art eagle head they could find and used it, tweeked it the next season to the daffy eagle. The pants also changed in 1994 to a very wide green stripe that curved over the knees. The first time anyone saw them was in full broadcast TV color the first game that season at Missouri.

It is THIS very type of thinking that pisses me off. How in the CRAP did a major university's atheletic department let a guy just pick something out of a catalog?

Again, deciding on artwork is NEVER something to be taken lightly.

Some of our other logos are on that link. Did we buy them there also?

Who knows, but also Im sure that company steals old ideas that they find to re-use later.

At least four former NT logos are on there. I think all of those were one-time college logos somewhere for high schools who may want to copy their decals. I also saw that 1994 eagle head on a clip-art site previously.

Again, some people don't think before they speak. How many of those logos are in use today or within the past 10-15 years. I saw quite a few, even some that look very similar to professional logos and big conference college teams logos. So does that mean they took picking there logos lightly. Or did this catelog just go around and pick good logos to give people ideas.

I think the '67 helmet looks the best. Just a new font on the NT and outline it in black.

SIMILAR???????????????? YOURE KIDDING, RIGHT? They are IDENTICAL. They are NOT meant for ideas. You pick that number, they ship those decals to you. Look closely, are you telling me the UNT, Iowa State, The Seattle Seahawks, and Univerisity of Louisville, ALL went to THIS place and bought their helmet decals? This place is infringing on copywrite laws.

Yes, I Actually thought that out before I spoke.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
