If you can’t see that the first two helmets are very similar and the 3rd is very different, then we’ll just have to agree to disagree.  Look, I’m not bashing the UNT helmet or saying we shouldn’t wear it, but to act like our design wasn’t born from Oregon’s is just some strange form of denial or something.  Lots of teams, especially high school, have copied the Oregon original.

Actually, Oregon unveiled that green and white helmet against Ohio State well after we had worn ours in the game against Arkansas. Although they are similar, they may be the best look that we have. Oregon very rarely uses that helmet anyway, usually opting to wear their own school colors like almost all universities do, well, except one.

You just named 5 of the most tradition rich schools with the most iconic uniforms in the country. For the other 100+ schools, uniforms are a hot item and a recruiting tool.

That's bullshit. They're not costumes, they're uniforms, part of tradition, and they are intended to represent your school not some whim of the week.

Dickey also did this as a disgruntled employee coaching in his last home game.

To support your point, please name any major college that is wearing trashbag uniforms this week.

The color black added to that web site by a TCU alumnus, without any university votes or board approvals, and used to undermine the weak minded. By the way, she's the same person that altered the branding colors for our medical school while it was being demoted to a health center.

This kind of garbage doesn't happen at real universities.

Is this the truth, that someone just logged onto the website and put it there without any pre-approval? And on top of that, it's allowed to just sit there? That doesn't sound like something would become official.  It sounds like tampering and should be corrected upon discovery.

She oversaw branding and revised the school colors, moving black from being a secondary color approved only for outlines and print on black and white media to somehow being listed as an official school color. The system wide statement that "Black is used only as a tertiary accent color" was somehow omited. This same woman later accepted a job at oversaw marketing at TCOM, and worked with getting the UNT medical school listed as as a health science center while new partner TCU College of Medicine was created for our competition. And yes, she is a TCU alum.

Colors The official colors of the UNT System are UNT Green and White. UNT green is Pantone Matching System PMS 356*. C. When UNT Green is used, it must be PMS 356* or one of the following four-color process. For electronic branding, the following color model settings will reproduce UNT green in most graphic design and HTML coding software.

 

That is the OFFICIAL university position as selected by the students during the 1903-1904 school year, used for well over a hundred years, and most recently confirmed by our Board of Regents when branding and university marks were updated. (Page 9 of UNT Styleguide)

GREEN and WHITE are our ONLY SCHOOL COLORS, black is approved only as a tertiary accent color and for non-color printing purposes.

Anybody that deviates from this is actually breaking school policy.

And our Board of Regents approved the crap she pulled?

I don't know the approval process.  The way @ADLER explains, she might have had some informal talks before making the change, but there wasn't any official vote.  They just trusted her as head of branding.  Is a vote needed, BOR or other university administration?

To access the style guide that you referenced, you have to apparently have a EUID?  Anyways, I couldn't find it.  Here is more on our official colors, from our Identity Guide.

Our primary color is UNT green, specifically Pantone 356*, for print on coated paper. For uncoated paper use Pantone 355 or the CMYK mix shown below. For online use, the UNT hex color is #00853E. Our secondary colors are black, white and the green shades used in our theme art, PMS 354 and PMS 362.

What is inconsistent is, further down on that exact same page, white and black are listed as primary colors. 

RECAP: what we have is, on the exact same page, one intro paragraph that specifically refers to White and Black as secondary, and then further down lists both of them as part of the primary with green.

Is anyone proof reading or monitoring this stuff?

Aren’t their some clouds that need yelling at?
