White Out Game

[Green Otaku]

I don't know if anyone has connections to the athletic department or RV but it would be a great tradition to start IMO. Making an event at every game is a good way to get people to come out.

-Home Coming

-Family Weekend

-White out

Plus it looks really impressive. I know other teams do similar things like West Virginia does the Gold Rush night in the 2nd pic.

.

Of course green should be encouraged for every other football game.

I always thought a white out would be sick. Maybe for the Tuesday night game? Could be a nice incentive for the students to go if they knew they would get a free white shirt.

I think so too. The students would definitely come out, also because of the many white out parties that follow the game etc.

We're finally wearing the most green we ever have, let's just stick with that. We try green outs all the time and it sort of fails since 1/3 of the place is empty

I think we still need to work on our Green Out. It would make more sense for the Green Out to be our tradition.

I am in charge of Kingwood Booster club merchandise sales. Last year we did a white out game against our rival. it looked great. We get a few sponsors to fund the shirts and i can tell you with a quanity of 3,000 the shirts can get pretty cheap especially in white with a one color print.

Athletic department is doing a decent job of telling people to wear green. But agreed that they should keep pushing that.

What many teams do for these games is already have shirts on the chairs, and people just put the shirts on.

Whatever color it ends up being, It should be a night game

Lots of green Saturday at Apogee...let's stay with green...students are finally wearing green...let's not confuse them! ha! Green Out Game sounds great!!!!! Love the idea of anything like this...students did great saturday. A tad disappointed in the Alumni side crowd....but 22,000+ for TSU...not too bad!

Actually I think it could help people wear green to other games more. Athletic department would have to do a good job of telling people about this special game but stress that green should be worn at all other games.

Four positive posts in one thread. Outstanding! But...you keep doing that and you're going to have to get a different moniker.

I like your white out idea. Someone may not come because they don't have (the proper color of) green but everyone has a white t-shirt so they won't feel out of place. That doesn't mean do away with the green but use white as a special promotion.

How about a "dozen shades of green" out?

I have about 19 UNT shirts with different shades of green. Which one would I wear ? Maybe it should be white

[Green Mean]

Georgia did a blackout a few years ago. Tho I just think a any kind thing like that would only look cool and better if the stadium was full all around. Like I said in another thread that the King's Court in Seattle for when Felix Hernandez pitches is pretty cool because it usually just one or two sections and it's completely full(even when the rest of the stadium may be empty) with fans wearing bright yellow tshirts. I think that would work if we did something similar for the immediate term.

Green should be standard - no need to encourage "Green Out" games, that should be a given. The problem is that we STILL hand out t-shirts to students that are a dozen different shades of green.

A white out game would be cool.

[shaft]

Just say no.

1. We're the Mean Green, let's stick with that.

2. We are having major success with green and getting everyone into. This is not the time for gimmicks.

3. It's not original.

4. The school makes money off selling green unt gear

[greenjoe]

So few schools use green. All schools use white. Stick with the great start we have with green.

[meaniegreenie]

Just say no.

1. We're the Mean Green, let's stick with that.

Exactly. I think we're the only school using a color as a noun. Not Green Wave, Green Thunder, or Green Whatever. We are the MEAN GREEN! This uniqueness should be used constantly as part of making a recognizable ICONIC image for UNT. Instead of worrying about whether somebody passing by a TV will know that we're North Texas because it says so on our helmets, we should have such a BadA$$ color of green that is unique, CONSISTENT, totally recognizable, and immediately identifies us as the University of North Texas Mean Green.

With that said, I'd be a little queezy if we went back to the 70's Worm colors, but on the other hand, it sure would be identifiable. Part of me even likes the idea of trying something wild like a NEON green. I bet Nike could come up with something cool for us. (Just leave out the silver reflective tape!)

SMU tried to do a whiteout last night...

[Proud North Texan]

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

[shutter]

You can not eat BBQ, salsa, beer, ketchup or mustard in white. Lets wear green.

[pollock]

No no no never never never no no never.

We can't even get the Athletic Department to organize the "Noooorth" Texassss" chants.

Is this the job of the AD? Seems like this would be a responsibility of the Cheerleaders...
