Helmet thread

Somebody remind me, how many letters in Boise State?

[UNTexas]

UNT Flag on the helmet and call it a day. Stop changing it all the time as well.

[GreenBat]

Glad to know that somebody else realizes that 10 letters is greater than that Tulsa = 5 letters is greater than Ohio = 4 letters is greater than Toledo = 6 letters etc.

10 letters on a helmet is just too damn many, doesn't matter what our initials are, doesn't matter what our emblem is, nothing. No more damn North Texas on the helmet, put it on the damn jersey and nothing else. Problem solved, NEXT!!!!

Like I just informed you, their helmet is ugly and the 10 letters is too much. I informed you that this is done, move on to the next matter.

We've used some form of eagle artwork on the helmet off and on for the past 30 + years. Let's stop the rebranding madness, put the SOW (or more accurately, great great great grandson of SOW) on the helmet on the helmet and go win some CUSA championships.

I like flat black. It won't happen, I get that. -Although, I never thought we'd have all black BB uniforms.

Moving forward into C-USA, the more pressing need is defensive tackles. We're way too small there.

I could totally get on board with a black helmet and jersey combo...as an alternate. Maybe bring it out for bowl games, conference championship games, etc. I figure we'd need it at least once a year.

Never thought I'd like black helmets, but I have to admit those are slick.

I can't believe this hasn't been brought up yet, but what do y'all think of HELMET STICKERS!!!!

[Green Mean]

Having a black uniform as part of the rotation would be awesome. Black mixed with the type of green we sport would be a sickly great combo. We can still have white unis and green ones but these days CFB teams have different uniforms for providing different looks and let's face it...they sell more jerseys. So let's do it. Oh and let's put our logo on our helmets.

Black worked well for Darrell Dickey.

Singing glory to the Green. Singing glory to the white.

GO MEAN GREEN

[UNTLifer]

No black, only as an accent color. Outline the numbers, the logo (which I wish was on the helmet) or any lettering in black, but the primary colors should be our green and white.

Man that's great.

Except with the new Riddell 360 helmet, no green stripe down the middle, and Nike uni's. UNT green looks super cool on black, the contrast is perfect. Would easily become the most recognizable helmet in CUSA, in a good way. Great for marketing and overall program visibility.

Please don't put U.N.T on the helmet that would really be baaad...... nobody is going to know who we are.

I never really understood this argument. I'm not partial either way, just throwing this out there:

We are UNT. Or NT. Or North Texas. There just are not a ton of major FBS colleges out there for us to be confused with like, fore example, TU, UT (Tulsa, Tennessee, Texas, etc)

OU didn't start with Oklahoma on their helmets and then switch once everything was clarified.

You want to know why no one knows who we are? It's not because people are confusing us with someone else. It's because we have not won consistently, nor won on a national/televised/whatever level since Europe actually looked like the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

I can't believe I just delved into this helmet discussion, but here I go again.

[UNTLifer]

The script does not show up on television except during close up shots. Besides, when watching a game on television, I usually know who the teams are prior to seeing close up shots of either team's helmets. The argument about people not knowing who were are and the need for the script is worn out.

[UNTFan23]

This thread needs more cowbell.

[wardly]

FYI, i mailed R.V. the UNT desigh from mghelments.com. suggest you do the same if you have any new ideas.

[GRN-WHT]

I bet the real reason RV likes the "North Texas" helmet is because he loves coming here and laughing at all these threads of people getting their panties in a wad over the helmet.

I vote for the 1953 throwback helmet.

Honestly, I don't really like any of them.

[Green Mean]

I don't mind the 1967, 1968, 1973 and 1983 ones. That said we seriously need to put our current logo on the helmet or invent something new and cool that will be transcendent looking in my opinion.

[greenminer]

Find 20 designs. Rotate them every year.

Problem solved?

WTF was 1994 thinking?
