'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?

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.

      Just for fun

      So, I was thinking. There’s a high probability Chandler is going to get poached next year, unfortunately, so I wanted to see your prediction on who our qb will be next year. Just because it’s an off week and this is all in fun, my ideal scenario is to keep Morris.(both of them) plus, if one of us turns out to be right we get bragging rights!! lol That being said, I could see a certain former Guyer qb, that has recently lost his starting job, come back home and spend a season with the new qb whisperer!! That’s right, Jackson Arnold. predict away! cheers fellas!!

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      Houston started to look like Fritz ball tonight. Cougar now has 2 wins. Raise a toast CQ and savor the evening. Good win over Sonny. Fort Worth looks bored directionless. GMG

      The Answer is Marketing....

      We all love Grant. Think it was a typo. Tough name for GM and auto correct. I don’t know about the dormant alumni. They seem like lost causes to me. A buddy last weekend who never goes to a UNT game though a grad, was happy to send me pics from smu where he went to see his beloved Noles. No connection to FSU but he was there. He doesn’t disparage UNT but doesn’t care either. And the silly alums on sports radio apologize for speaking about UNT or giving an update about a G5 team. Spineless. Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game. Have a Mariachi Mean Green crew like they do at Texas Rangers. The mariachis on mariachi Monday walk around the concourse in their Ranger red outfits smiling taking pictures with fans. Then they play a few sets on the big screen and boom you get a unique group of peeps you look forward to seeing. The coolest thing this season was all their close ups of their championship rings as they strung their instruments. Could be a nice link to our Denton Hispanic community. Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. GMG

      Portland Watching Party?

      I don’t think you’re going to feel in danger or anything. I go out most evenings when I’m there. It just isn’t that lively since so much has been shuttered. If the weather is nice, though, it might be livelier than I’m thinking and I’m told the city has been taking an effort the last few months to clean up the sidewalks. The area around Powell’s books (which you definitely should go to) is usually pretty busy and touristy. There are several really good brewpubs nearby and a dive bar or two. Feel free to DM me if you want any recommendations.
