I have been asked by visiting fans, "why do we call ourselves Mean Green ?"  Unfortunately, the black uniform/trim is a leftover from the Craig Helwig era at North Texas. 

if a college football fan landed in Denton this weekend and stumbled into Apogee I think that might be a fair question.

Isn't that a pretty easy answer? What's so complicated about the fact that most teams will wear colors that are not their primary color?

Why are we called Mean Green has nothing to do with having a black jersey/helmet though.
Black is leftover from Helwig??  I don't recall black in any of our uniforms prior to Dickey's last game (1 time) and then recently.

You may not like it Joe, but the players do, so you'll have to get used to it.
And you know the old saying, "dress good, feel good"...  If the guys get any kind of lift whatsoever that comes from this uniform, then I'm all for it.

I like this post MGT. Players like this type of stuff and so do the students in the student section. 

"Mean Green" is not just about color, it's about our roots as a school/program.

That Troy uniform is awful.

This just in! Uniform changes will be made due to expected weather conditions.

How many other teams refer to their primary color in their moniker? I don’t know. I do think we have one of the most unique monikers in all of sports, so if a visitor comes in wanting to see it, and we are wearing black...

 

this is isn’t really a discussion of complication. It’s more about expectations.
