Yes, it's uniform talk.

I wonder if we were told the same thing by NCAA?

From the article it seems we will be told we can't wear green on green. But is it really that big of a problem?

[trussbussdad]

Boise cant wear blue out with the backdrop of the blue field....Eastern Washington cant red out with the backdrop of their red field....thus Marshall and I bet we have been told that too.

Color of the year...

If I remember right , Fry went to his shade of light green for about a similiar reason... tough to see on game film ... but I think the film may have been black/white then..

The worm... hated it.. it was just typical of the time, 70's, some others went to some odd symbols as well. Doubt any still exist today.

Hate that blue field (usually change games if on) but the red field is even worse.

Typical. First they come for our green uniforms, next our guns, and first born children.

The only "stylized" helmets I can think of offhand are Iowa, Boise State, and Kansas State. The Fry era "stylized eagle" was one of the most recognized helmets of it's day because of style and color.

But back to the topic.

If, for example, North Texas were to go to a lime green pants with kelly green jersey, would that meet the NCAA requirement ? And, if we were to play at Eastern Washington or Boise, could we wear all green ?

GO MEAN GREEN

Dumb. It sounds like a PC move to appease these clowns who play on alternately-colored fields.

Actually, its legislating against those clowns.

[UNTLifer]

How about "outlawing" stupid colored turf fields?

My point being that they would actually extend it to apply to teams that wear green and play on a green field--the color a football field ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Much better.

[ragpicker]

Lime green pants and Kelly Green jerseys are nothing short of nauseating.

[greenminer]

They need to just start making chrome fields.

I bet Oregon is already working on it.

[ragpicker]

Did Darrel Royal really change the orange shade of Texas jerseys to burnt orange to better conceal the football or is that story apocryphal? Please advise.

[Rudy]

It's great thay they are tackling THIS pressing topic, instead of wasting time on countless other trivial issues.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Too easy of a fix.

[North Texas Shep]

I like the all green uniforms we use. If they are not allowed then white or black pants and green top. No biggie. I just hope we do not get chrome anything or dark grey uniforms like Nike has been pushing on teams this last few years.

[UNTLifer]

No black pants.

[North Texas Shep]

No black pants.

I think I took a few classes one year when we voted on whether to make black one of the official colors. Schools should have two colors not three.

[UNTFan23]

White is the absence of color. Black is the presence of all colors.

[VideoEagle]

White is the absence of color. Black is the presence of all colors.

That's true in CMYK color space but the opposite is true in RGB color space.

[North Texas Shep]

That's true in CMYK color space but the opposite is true in RGB color space.

BOOYEAH!

I wonder if the green helmet/uni combo is why our passing game has struggled. QBs can't see our receivers down the field?
