Such a clean look.  Love it!  GMG!

I hope we are then through with cute throwback costumes and resort to wearing uniforms for the duration of the season.

The first voice you heard was from Jitter Nolen, NTSU's president at that time who was instrumental in bringing Fry to Denton. The second voice was that of Fry.  BTW, Nolen died at the age of 95 just a few weeks ago.

These excerpts were taken from a film called "Coach" which documented Fry's early days at North Texas leading to the epic game with SMU.   Dabney Coleman was the producer and Newt Razor paid for the whole thing.

I have to say--I love that uniform.  That is a fantastic alternate look.

and now it makes sense to me why voertmans is selling the white t's with the worm on it...i'm sure ya'll already figured that out, but i'm slower than most

The first time I saw that uniform was against UTA (I think) at Texas Stadium.  I thought it was the greatest uniform I’d ever seen.  Still is.  
 

 

 

Stylized Eagle.

I remember going to Willis Library and watching "Coach" in the spring of 1980, my first semester as a transfer from the university of Texas. What an awesome share, Lets. I wish every incoming student would take a look.

Downvote all you want, but outside the helmet these unis are boring.

If you think winning is boring, just pimp the uniforms.

I hope to God we have matching Green uniforms tops for this helmet!!

I will say…if we had the candy apple green pants or jerseys it would be awesome.

I also remember when we went to white as our home color with these because the tear-away jerseys were not available in apple green.

The most iconic unis in all of CFB are boring.  What do I take from this? There is more to the appreciation/aesthetic of this than just visual flare.  Things like nostalgia and history come into play.
