New uniforms

Daddy Dumpsalot · July 7, 2011

I think everyone has fallen into the trap of posting on another uniform thread. I thought we vowed not to do this...

Actually they would have been better looking if he had ordered them from J.C. Penney.

How about this style? I'm very fond of the look.

I kinda like it but being green we would look just like Ohio U.

....OR Ohio U. looks like our classic look of 1965.

....and since we have lost a big playmaker, I would also take #27 off that 65 team. One of our all-time best.

How can the SOW be all overl our new stadjum, but not be on our helmets? I'll bet Coach Mac has opted for that look.

You can call it "Traditional" all you want. What it really means is we're going with the cheapest design Nike offers.

You know this how?

boring. simple uniforms are boring, yes, boring.

i liked our recent uniforms except for the helmets and no logo. give me a boise or tcu uniform. aka alabama is cheap looking crap.

This. The UA uniforms finally brought us into the modern era of piping and stripes instead of our bland New Balance ringer t's. I thought with the Nike switch we'd keep it going. And going with uniforms that are just solid numbers with no outline and no sleeve stripes looks cheap as hell.

And I'm sure RV shut the door on that option before Mac finished the question...

It aint happenin..

And TCU and Boise are just tricked up concoctions being pimped by Nike. No thank you.

For what logical reason?

I want to ask this after just about each post you make, but why do you follow North Texas when it would seem that the university ALWAYS falls beneath your expectations and NEVER comes close to making you anything but jaded and disappointed? Serious question.

GRN-WHT · July 7, 2011

People were mad about the UA unis looking like a certain high school's jersey, but now we'll have unis that look like 100s of high schools all over the country.

Yay!

Never said it was logical :-) The words NORTH TEXAS will be on the helmet as long as RV is our leader...His idea, his vision, and he wont change it.

Non-piping uniforms may be McCarney's way of challanging the team. You "earn" fancier, modern day uniforms with piping, just like the other 300+ college football teams, by winning. Until then, we'll wear the plainest of the plain uniforms, just like Penn St, Alabama, etc. Let's win some games first!

For the record, IMHO, some of these newly designed uniforms with the piping on the sleeves, piping up the crotch, etc., whatever, look gimicky to me. Watching the old video of the '88 Texas "hosejob" game, those old UNT uniforms looked pretty good to me. Except the helmet.

The Fake Lonnie Finch · July 7, 2011

Iowa State's 1995 Unis in action, McCarney's first season. They look like Kansas City Chief knockoffs. But, that's fine with me. I like the Chiefs look. I also like the New York Jets look. I'd like some sort of classic, striped sleeves with clean front and back, triple striped pants...

...and UNT or NT on the helmet! :-D

My other thought was echoed above somewhere - we went with the cheapest thing Nike had to offer. On the one hand, we've sunk a lot of money into facilities and, finally, advertising (billboards). On the other hand, we have fish sandwich for uniforms, but at least the helmets are green.

Someday...someday, Alice...POW, right in the kisser! Our boys will run through that tunnel onto the field in shiny green helmets with UNT or NT on the side. Then, our journey to College Football Big Boydom will be complete.

for whatever it's worth, assuming this to be true, I love it. If Alabama is cheap looking crap, I'm the human equivalent of a walmart superstore.

UNT Mean Green · July 7, 2011

I agree, what on earth is the problem with an Alabama type of uniform? Now it may be the players who wear them, and the caliber of athletes that they are; but damn those are some classic uniforms.
