Surprises for first CUSA Home Game?

meangreener · October 10, 2013

Why will those fugly cheap looking renders never go away?

DeepGreen · October 10, 2013

Wonder what the total cost of going to black uniforms, or any type of unnecessary uniform color change, would cost the AD? $100K? $200K?

Our colors are green and white. Keep our traditions. Stick with the current uniforms we have already paid for. Use the money saved to increase the salaries of your very best assistant football coaches, soccer coaches, tennis, etc.

Carry on.

Oh! Denim and burlap. That sounds so FANTASTIC!!

I'll argue that shprockets was the funniest sketch on SNL of all time.

We've reached a new low: In-season uniform threads.

FirefightnRick · October 10, 2013

This team just really has (good) air about it. Things are changing.

THIS team is running out of time. With 7 games remaining in their career I'm holding out hope that they finally turn that corner.

All black? Why? Lets focus on getting the correct color green first.

I believe the current green is the correct green.

Did you take any math classes at UNT?

105 players = 105 uniforms. I'm assuming they wont need new pads/helmets/jock straps/whatever-else... We're just talking jerseys, pants, socks? cleats? gloves?

Do you really think a new set of jerseys, pants, socks? cleats? gloves? would cost $1k - $2k per?

If there's a helmet involved, maybe. But I would admittedly be a really crappy contestant on The Price Is Right, because I never shop for anything that doesn't involve hops or corn tortillas.

I'm willing to bet we get our Eagle logo on our helmets for the Halloween game.

Christopher Walker · October 10, 2013

I believe the current green is the correct green.

For future reference, UNT green is PMS 356C. 355C is used as well for certain applications.

So our official colors are this particular green, white and black?

I don't think anyone has a problem with using black as an accent color as long as the predominate color is green. My fave uni's:

That's also the best green we've ever had. Can someone explain why we went with a lighter green anyway? As I recall, it coincided with the firing of Dickey/hiring of Dodge.

Or, no...that was a different light green. Now, we're at this green that is greener, but not like the good, old, dark, meaner looking green.

Give me the meaner looking green, interlocking NT or SOW on the helmet, "Mean Green" on the collar, and pants with the old school double stripe for $500, please, Chuck!

I sorta like those new mirror'ed effect helmets I've seen of late Is there a proper name for those?

Chrome? We'd look awful in chrome.

Why yes, I did take math at UNT. Back in the 1960's. We did, in fact, have several problems on the cost of outfitting the Eagle football team with new uniforms that would please the fans and the "younger football recruits". Based on inflation from that era, it would cost roughly $104, 667.29 or $1,231.37 per player to outfit the team with new uniforms today. Now, if you go with the Darryl Dickey "off the Academy shelf black uniform" route, you can drop that to $19.73 per player.

(Insert sarcasm)

The reflective helmets are cool. Tulsa has them.

That_Guy_Arlo · October 10, 2013

I'd be all for busting out some alternates once and awhile, I figure it's not like we're going to abandon our permanent look (at least I hope not) so why not change it up on occasion for special games.

meangreendork · October 11, 2013

Actually, that's 355U.

For proper reference, 356C is the ideal color and reference point color. It's also the mandate color green on coated dull and gloss paper. For uncoated paper, 355U can be used if the paper will yield a darker color (like 357C) if 356U or 356C were to be used.

I've said that many times. We need a GREEN that is MEAN and represents our nickname.

Often we've thrown out the green equivalent of powder blue.

I've somewhat okay with the current uni colors, but absolutely HATE the helmet color that looks like we're running around with this on our heads. Let's give a cheer for the Mean Peas!!!

KRAM1 · October 11, 2013

Uniform talk in mid season...this is new. This is usually an off-season topic. We have become a bunch of fashionistas around here..not good!

NM Green · October 11, 2013

I like it when Kram gets feisty and makes the appropriate call out. Our green is bright and makes a nice television appearance. Now our team needs to make sure they get us a lot of fantastic attention and air time in our flash green. Get it on wear it proud be green and get to Apogee this weekend!!!!! GMG
