Black Uniforms

Maybe it's after a rainstorm or something. I thought they wore a similar green from the Joe Greene and Scott Davis days, just with that helmet. I found the pic on eBay when someone was selling that pocket schedule. I didn't need the schedule, but I grabbed the pic. They look black, and it's not a QB safety thing or a scrimmage, as you can see the other team's maroon pants.

That photo is from the 1982 season against Northeast Louisiana (now ULM). It was our last season before dropping to 1-AA and a change of helmet/uniforms for 1983. The mesh jerseys were popular then and it seems like I remember Bob Tyler liking them when he coached at Miss St so he had UNT wear them too, first in 1981. It was a very dark green, even darker than hunter green, but we kept the old helmets with the kelly green. Not many liked the garage-sale mismatched look so Corkey Nelson changed everything for the drop to 1-AA and joining the Southland Conference in 1983.

Black jerseys should just be for "special" occasions. I would not go for a permanent uniform that is mostly black.
