I was excited about today. I was planning on coming home from work and posting the pics of the new uniform on Facebook for all my friends to see. I had even thought of a status to go with the link to

The uniforms are exactly as boring as I expected. Crap.

Looks like it is going to be green - nothing but green! No fancy off shade with glitter or sparkles - just green. I still think they should have gone with eagle logo, but it is better than the white shell.

Nice classic helmet. They will sure look good come game day when the team is all geared up. I like this classic look. I think it says that UNT is ready to play some classic rough and tumble football and is ready to let its play on the field be all the "glitz and glitter" needed.

Doesn't let me down at all...I like. Can't wait to see the entire uniform in person. I'll bet it looks much better than these photos...

Thanks for posting the photo...GO MEAN GREEN!

I'm thankful that they're green again!

(As to the logo...well, we've been over that :rolleyes: When I attended the University of North Texas, I supported UNT football.)

Anyway, I'm not going to complain because it's green again.

Thank you, Rick, for the green helmets again! I'm going ahead with a season ticket order now. The green helmet clinches it.

Yea Verily, I say unto thee. Just as sure as the sun rises in the east, alas it is a certainty that some will love, some will hate, any design that will be placed in front of them.

"...Cheer for the Green & White..."

I like the simpler move. I too would like to see the SOW on it, but this is sharp.

Also, I've always heard that although the center stripe on a helmet makes it look good, cornerbacks are taught to look at the helmet stripe to know where the QB is looking. If it's not there, then that may be more beneficial to our guys.

I had even thought of a status to go with the link to the pictures: "Hopefully the Mean Green will play well this season. But even if they don't, they'll at least look good."

However, after seeing the new uniforms I've decided not to show them on Facebook because I'm somewhat embarrassed. It's not something I want to show off. My friends would just comment about how boring and plain they are.

I like the "practice" helmet with the black stripes better.

Generic, plain, boring.

Even with all the bashing, I am interested in seeing the whole uniform on they guys.

I like the jerseys, but the helmets need the SOW on them. I wish I knew why our administration won't place the logo on the helmets. Doesn't make sense to me.

My understanding is that the entire university is trying to brand itself as UNT, not "North Texas". RV; however, does not like acronyms (WTF?) and will not go that direction. RV also does not feel that the "SOW" has brand recognition as of now, but believes it is a future option (personal communication).

It's basically the Dickey '05-'06 helmet with a white facemask then, right?

Different shade of green and the Dickey helmet had "North Texas" outlined in black. Looks like no black on the helmets or unis, unless I missed something.

Nobody knew the Boise State logo until they embarassed The Too-Sooners.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.
