Just wanted to give everybody an update. I inquired to Barefoot Athletics (the new UNT apparel shop in Denton) about possibly making this shirt a reality and they said they could do it! He did ask if we would prefer them to be on Nike shirts or another brand that's less expensive. Personally, I would rather it be Nike, but I wanted to get everybody's take on it. Nike or off-brand?

Just curious--why Nike? Are their shirts that much better? Or is it just to get the swoosh on the shirt?

i have the number 13 and 7 white shirts made by nike and the quality is fabulous. i also have other north texas shirts made on other brand shirts and they aren't near as soft...i like soft material on my manly body...

if i could get a nike shirt without the swoosh, i'd like that even more!

I think Nike is the default because that is our official supplier.

I don't think it needs to be Nike, but please no Gildan or something with less quality!

If Barefoot gets on this quickly enough, and does this under the AD's noses, I have a feeling they're going to make a TON of money off of them.

I've always found that a lot of the other makers don't make items as nicely fitted the way Nike and other good companies do. I know it sounds weird and crazy but I'll rather pay extra to get something like Nike because it is usually cut, fits, and looks better for me personally at least.

Nike all the way. They fit the best. Built the best too. I hope this actually happens. I'm going to cry myself to sleep if this doesn't. Pretty sad we have to do this ourselves to get this made, honestly. I honestly would love a "vintage" shirt with the worm that says NTSU honestly, but maybe I'm the only one. Either way, this shirt in the real lime green would be life changing.

There are very good tech material shirts available for about half the cost of Nike and that are just as good. With Nike, you are paying for the swoosh and that's a waste.

I got a note from the Athletic Dept -- this design (up above) is not anything official and they are working on some new designs in line with the 100 year UNT Football Anniversary which will be revealed at a later time. So just keep that in mind before you pull the trigger on something,

Update: Just got word that the shirts will be $28/each on a Nike shirt, as long as we order 24-48 shirts total. I'm working on getting a little more info such as type of Nike shirt and also confirming that the color of the shirt is more lime green than kelly green. Is there anything else that I might be missing?

I'd personally like a soft vintage looking shirt instead. I like Nike shirts but like Retro Brand a lot more.

I'd actually like our official green color shirt with the lime green (or whatever color it was) flying worm. If the shirt is lime-green, it only adds to the confusion of green in the stands on gameday. Lots of folks still have some old hunter green stuff they refuse to upgrade out of and these would be adding another tint.

Just a small concern.

We could do that instead if the majority would rather have that. I was just trying to keep the true to the picture and the theme of being retro.

Can't have too many options.

I'm in for the $28.

Just not sure I can trust the AD to do it right. They'll make a faded shirt and make some "100th anniversary" logo and that's it. I want Flying Worm.

I, personally, like it in the lime green but am OK with Kelly Green, too.

Your reason is just as good as mine dizzle. Either way, if this is on a shelf somewhere, I'm buying. $28 is pricey, but if it's going to be a "one-of-a-kind" shirt that will only be available this year, then I gotta have one: price be durn'd.

I've got the WORM logo digitized for an embroiderer. I had it put on a golf shirt. I'ts about the size of a half dollar.

If anybody wants the digital file, just let me know & I'll e-mail it.

      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.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
