Helmet Project Has Updated Some Older Nt Helmets

[NT80]

Go to the link, in left column select SunBelt, scroll down to all the historic North Texas helmets.

Sorry, but 1973-82 (flying worm) are still the best looking helmets we ever had!

Let's be diplomatic about this NT80.

Quick, which helmet stands out the best.

[Coach]

1968-1971

[MeanGreengdub]

73'-78'

Not to be mean, but do you say that in jest? That helmet stands out as the worst of the bunch.

No way. We would be in the Big 12 today if we had kept that helmet!

[NT91]

1972 and then 1983-1993

So we will have a white helmet in 2007..first time in 40 years!

The '94 version has to be the absolute worse looking helmet of all time ! What was the Athletic Dept. thinking ?

[NCMeanGreen]

1994...WTF!?!?

[MeanGreenBuzz]

By far its 73-82 as the best.

[LongJim]

1968-1971.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

No way. We would be in the Big 12 today if we had kept that helmet!

--We would have been in the Big XII if we had been able to keep the COACH that used that helmet... Hayden Fry (from Odessa, West-Texas). His version of football was very entertaining as was he and his gift for gab.

---I still like some version of the super-imposed NT, not exactly the one Joe Greene et. al. used but something close. The worm does jump out at you BUT it is also the largest logo used.... at least in the pictures. It looks way too dated now.

'73-'82

I would be O.K. with any of those helmets as long as we could just pick one and keep it, thus making the team easier to recognize and ending the offseason helmet threads for good

I agree.

How many big 12 / big east / SEC teams wonder what their helmets are going to look like next season?

[MCMLXXX]

I graduated from NT in 1980 so I fondly remember the Flying Worm. Nonetheless, I am strangely attracted to the 1972 helmet.

[greenjoe]

'73-'82. Not only a great helmet at NT, but a wonderful helmet design by national standards.

The Stylized Eagle. Gotta love it.

[H-towngreen]

anyone know when the new helmets and unis will be unveiled?

[Mean Green 93-98]

'83-'93. But I would rather have the worst one of the bunch and keep it forever than change every two years.

[Green92]

68 - 71 is my favorite.

Agree, the 94 helmet is awful.

[pollock]

The worm rules.

[Eagle1855]

I agree.

Actually, if you scroll through some of those schools helmets, you'll see a lot of them have changed several times over the years- it's not just us. Many schools unveil new unis each year (though not usually the same schools every year ). Outside the big 4 (A&M, UT, Nebraska, and OU) the rest of the Big 12 has changed up their looks over the years

Although I agree, we do seem to change quite a bit. I hope that whatever is unveiled this fall will be able to stick around for a good while.

[Cr1028]

I like '68-'71 the best. My second choice would be the current helmet.

[Guest GrayEagleOne]

My preference from the old helmets is 73-82 but I like the current eagle and think that it might survive better across the ages. I wouldn't mind seeing that embellished with a superimposed 'NT' similar to Deep's or the circular 'NT' from the 73-82 era.

[NT91]

I see UCF has a new helmet for 2007 and it's white also.
