I never knew there were so many freaking women on this forum. Maybe we can talk about shoes next? The uniforms are green, whatever shade doesn't matter. What does matter is winning football games.

Then ask UNT fans. Poll our student body. My comment was about which uniforms look better. The new Nike's or the UA. Sometimes fans like things for no other reason than because it belongs to their

I'm pretty sure that's the NCAA football logo:

It should be the conference patch... Pretty sure there's a rule that says it has to be on there; one of the more legit reasons to get upset about Black Jersey-gate. Beyond the unique logos, there's a generic one for each conference that conforms to the NCAA style.

saw on the slideshow Vito posted. It is the Sunbelt logo, similar to these... looks to be sewed on, but I'm sure we will be able to afford new jerseys if we jump to a new conference (assuming its not the WAC) :D

Can somebody confirm that this is or is not the same shade of green we unveiled a few years ago?

I think it is. At least as much as I have seen, helmet and all, it looks to be to me.

What was that official shade the URCM department listed it to be, Pantone # 3TexasHighwayExitSign42?

Sadly, these are very plain. Too plain to even be called "classic." When I heard we were going "classic," I didn't like it, since we had finally crossed the modern uniform design threshold, but I had a few "classic" designs I'd be cool with: Abner Haynes-era shoulder stripes or Steve Ramsey/Joe Greene/U of Florida triple stripes on the sleeves. Even the new basic Baylor jerseys with Nike's odd wing-shaped shoulder stitching pattern would have worked. Instead, we get the least-expensive, most poor-inner-city-school-district template known to man. The cuffs aren't a contrasting color, the numbers aren't outlined in black for visibility's sake, and we can't even slap the SoW on the sleeve for TV or photos to create that brand recognition we so desire (and need). They didn't even use the unique athletic number font that was designed back in 2004 or 2005 and used on the 05-06 jerseys. There's zero personality here. Authentic jerseys won't cost the normal $120+, they'll cost $40 and about 5 minutes with a sewing machine.

And that lack of personality continues in the helmet that also has no outline to make the words stand out. Scoring an authentic helmet for your NT Room won't be a feat, since you can make one yourself with a can of too-light green paint, a basic stencil, and a can of white Krylon.

Seriously, these don't say "old school trench warfare" football, they scream "boring, bland" football, regardless of how we actually play. When thousands see our highlights on TV, they'll joke that we spent all our money on the stadium and didn't have enough left for decent uniforms.

You can't please everyone, I guess...

Appears that the players love the new uniforms. I think that is probably the more important view whether a few "fans" like them or not. Like so many things here on GMG.Com and in life in general, people are quick to criticize even before they have all the facts...in this case, even before they have personally seen them in person.

I think the majority here have expressed satisfaction with the uniforms and certainly the team has (if reports from the team and players are to be believed...I think, yes). As has been said, you simply cannot please everyone. If the team feels good in these uniforms, that's all I need to know.

However, put me down in the "I like" column.

Are you guys all color blind? Damn.

You laugh, but let me try to explain what it's like. I recall going to a baseball tournament at Baylor a couple years ago. During the night game, under the stadium lights, I asked my daughter why she thought it might be that Baylor was wearing black jerseys. She tilted her head, "Um. Dad. They're yellow."

I walked down the steps to get closer to the field. BAM! Instant bright gold jerseys! Walk back up to my seats, black again. I'm a real fun ride at traffic lights. Let me tell you.

In other words, unless some person is going to buy UNT stuff for me, I will NEVER have the correct shade of green, because to me they're ALL THE SAME!

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      For sure. There are some battles we are facing that are industry-wide. just add it to the list of things that I wrote above, and still believe it’s wild we don’t get 5k or more.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      And 69th best comment is ignorance al, because it assumes that all teams in the tourney were better without even taking into consideration the low-major teams getting their autobids. I would say more like 35-38th best, which I believe was our NET at the end of that year. Still the highest ever ranked NET team to not make an at-large bid.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I have two free tickets (third row, center court) to the January 22 men’s game vs. Temple to anyone who hasn’t attended a men’s game this season and is curious about what all the fuss is about. DM me.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      D1 football has about 130 teams. D1 men’s basketball has almost 400 teams. 69th in basketball is closer to being a Top 25 team in football. And in reality, that UNT NIT winner could have very well made the same Final Four run that FAU made if we had been allowed into the NCAA tournament.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Where has anyone said to dump football? Further, where has anyone even said to drop to FCS? Look, I'm a football guy. I'm a football coach. I love football. I'm not really that big of a basketball guy. I enjoy it enough to go to games. We just have to understand simple math as it pertains to NIL, funding, attendance, athletic budget, etc etc. For UNT, the math doesn't math for football. Even if the math panned out we would still be what we are, UNT football. However, the math gets very easy to understand, allocate, etc etc in basketball. 5K avg attendance for us in basketball is a big deal and doable. Funding a basketball roster to have 8 competitive players play for us is doable. Allocating more money to UNT basketball can and should be done. Getting a new arena is probably a pipe dream but desperately needs to happen. We have the resources to take the next step in basketball and we can get ahead of the curve and shine a positive light on our University via basketball. That's what it's about. We can be Gonzaga in 1999, today. All we have to do is understand who we are, what we can and can't accomplish and have someone to have the vision to accomplish it. Starting July 1, 2025 schools can pay players directly and we need to do everything in our power to ensure that basketball stays where it's at on this upward trajectory. Not a dime of school given NIL money should go to football players in order for us to hope to get to 6-6, because that's where we are as a football program/school. As to your Frisco Bowl comment, 6-6 UNT gets to go to the Frisco Bowl. Cool. Guess what a 10-2 UNT is going to do? Go to the freaking Frisco Bowl. We have been caged up and there is nothing to be done about it outside of the courts and politicians getting involved, and that ain't happening.
