Helmet Ideas

Bored at work today so I put together a couple of helmet ideas I think would look really good. Thoughts?

With the new wrap technology, and apparent willingness of the AD to use something other than "North Texas" (for FOUR games!), I'd say the sky's the limit. Get our yer handbags and heels, ladies. Let the fashion talk begin! The runway is open for business!

Love them. Wanted the eagle on the helmet like this since I came here. I think a matte green helmet with white eagle wings would be cool too.

Now we just need 90 to come question our manliness and it's a uniform thread!

I like them. But I'm starting to sway on this look. When Oregon unveiled them I loved them, now I just think they are Oregon knockoffs....but really badass knockoffs.

While I agree partially, I think the uniqueness of the logos plays in our favor. If we don't do this, we need the huge eagle that wraps around the helmet like the bowl ones. I enjoyed the Rice game helmets solely for the Eagle but was not in that much love with them, frankly.

I struggled mightily to see the bowl helmets. Color blindness is a beyotch. I had to ask the guy next to me what they were. I saw a green helmet with a silver eagle. Even when I downloaded closeup pictures, that's what a saw unless I squinted real hard. Dark on dark, lack on contrast, and chrome reflection all screw with my vision.

How about one with the wings filled in green?

THOR · January 7, 2014

i prefer to see the entire eagle...the wings make me think of the duck feathers...

Whatever happens, I love the Matte helmets

JKvsHimself · January 7, 2014

Matte helmets for life.

I could see us using a matte black helmet and black pants with a more modern green jersey for our home games. Road would be black helmet, white jersey, and green pants. Or do we splurge and get matte green helmets to go with the green pants for the road?

H-towngreen · January 7, 2014

Can the wraps be done in matte?

meangreenthirteen · January 7, 2014

I love those, really sharp. I would like to see a similar design except the focal point be the talon of the SOW. The wings just look too Oregon-y but badass nonetheless.

I am not color blind, but I first thought they were a dark green chrome helmet the way the sun hit them.

Green92 · January 7, 2014

I'm completely beat down by helmet talk, but those really look good. Thumbs up!

It's going to be a long offseason for you then. :fpc:

pastorgrant · January 7, 2014

I'm curious if anyone can come up with a cool green and white helmet for when we aren't in our black unis. One which has SOW on it.

Green92 · January 7, 2014

It always is.

UNTcrazy727 · January 7, 2014

Loved the bowl helmets. We just need to make a green version with a white SOW and call it a day.

PlummMeanGreen · January 7, 2014

Always wanted just a symbol on our helmet instead of letters and words. You leave it on your helmet long enough, have several winning seasons in a row plus a few bowl game wins AND Top 25 and even some college football fans in Rhode Island would know who the North Texas Mean Green are.

I like the helmet with the green Son of Worm best albeit a white SOW would show up better for the TV cameras.

Maybe a white SOW with apple green trim?

well done cdizzle86....

I like those matte helmets. Most everyone knows that I am not a fan of our mechanical diving eagle...but your helmets are "way cool" and that's by far the best sow alternate to date...digging the grey on matte black. Your scaling and layout are very well done.

...give us this as an alternate to....the spelled North Texas, a black sow on a toothpaste green helmet with white facemask or an "aqua" sow on black helmet.

The "Oregon" oversized bird wing on helmet has really been a little overdone. IMO I thought that Rice's bowl wing helmet was trying too hard and not all that great....BUT these are really way cool...

I envision the "classic & collegiate" interlocked NT as our everyday home & away helmet...it's timeless...and...then these "kickass" helmets for our "Special Big Game" uniforms. This 2 helmet combination would be the perfect 1-2 punch for our AD, team and fans. This combo could very well please a lot of different folks. Love it!!

thanks for sharing your vision!

me likey!

Helmet stickers anyone?

Cerebus · January 7, 2014

Helmet stickers anyone?

With the advent of Eugene Levy eagle the helmet stickers should be eyebrows.

And I don't mean have a lot of little eyebrows all over the helmet, just that the more plays you make the larger that one pair of eyebrow stickers gets.

One great ST play = Thin Greta Garbo eyebrows.

14 sack season = Full on Eugene Levy.

The stickers should also actually be furry, we could be the trendsetters instead of Oregon!

wardly · January 7, 2014

Not a fan of stickers. Love the interlocking NT, but just glad to see a change.If Rick goes to letters,it is my understanding he will be hard pressed by administration to use UNT, which I really don't like.
