I'm surpirsed I've not read any posts concerning the impact the new hire will have on the future Mean Green uniforms, as its common for uniforms  & helmets to change when a new HC is hired.

My prediction includes a move toward the new school colors for the uniforms.

Any thoughts?

We will change... we will not play in black uniforms...LOL...

Not fond of the "mean green" as our battle cry. Can live with it if have to. Definitely need to put Eagle on helmet. Even though we are a "directional school", lets not accentuate it with the script on side of helmets. Too long, too much copy. If we want letters, lets go with NT. Prefer an Eagle however. Our all green unis need some help. A combination of green/ black looks good. Refer to Philadelphia Eagles when they wear their dark unis. We need to spiff up our look for sure. Its a new day. Uni spiffing up definitely in order! We are no longer the old UNT Eagles. Lets get out of the box here.

A completely new era of Mean Green football should = new unis...

I think we need new unis' especially now. I don't think we've won any football uni's fashion contest with the ones we have now (and the helmet's rather dullish' "North Texas' font).

When you can get this board unified on unis and helmet design just like the hiring of Todd Dodge has been nothing short of a phenomena and message board unifer, then we will know we are on to something with our future (hopeful) new football unis' and helmets.

Interesting that former UNT Coach Hayden Fry had a big influence with his unis' and GGII was right in there helping him. Fry also had a part in recommendations for the very impressive Iowa Hawkeye logo and their football unis's as well. Wonder if Todd Dodge could bring a few ideas up to Mean Green Country for a "different look" football uniform and helmet.

AND................do we want UNT football unis' and helmets that remind many of us of of the last 2 years? sad.gif

PS: I guess if we go to the kelly green we will have somewhat a new look uni' based on that alone? I do like some of the designs some of you came up with in the "short-lived" poll last night. The green and black combos would be very popular with our football players IMHO; and they wouldn't look too bad for NT Exes and MG fans to wear, either. rolleyes.gif

GO SLC DRAGONS! WIN STATE!

GMG!

Why do we need to change our unis ... again?

People are just going to get bent out of shape over what color socks the team is wearing.

I agree, change or alter the helmet logo keep the darker "mean green" colors. Our uniforms already have the shelf life of sandwich meat.

I thought that it was reported last year that new uni's were going to be ordered in the new (old) color, but that it was too late in the season for them to be delivered for 06. This would seem to imply that we have some boxes of new Kelly Green uni's sitting over in the equipment manager's office waiting to be used this next season.

Maybe I misunderstood. Maybe they said that they tried to order Kelly Green uni's, but it was too late to do so.

I meant NEW unis!  It's a new dawning in Denton!  It's a new era!  New Unis need to be a part of the NEW excitiement.

Anyway NEW Unis rather than NO unis (although that would also gain some more media coverage)!!!!!

Dodge Ball....

....the ducking begins September 2007

"No unis" would bring a dramatically new meaning to "Dodge Ball."

And how much would you have to pay a quarterback to have him put his hands under the center?

i agree... leave them alone.  they may not be the coolest, but they are simple, classy and i think can stand the test of time.  leave them alone!

I don't think we necessarily need to change the design, but we do need to change the color. It's a bit odd to see the team in one shade of green and everyone in the stands, the merchandise, the field colors, etc. all in a different shade of green. Since the university has apparently committed to the new colors and replaced a bunch of signs and all, the athletics department should get on board and use the new color.

After that, no more changes - ever. smile.gif

Do not be surprised if the new uniform looks like what SLC currently wears(if he goes to kelly). If we go to Kelly green we will probably wear a white helmet. Marketing firms have done studies and a kelly green helmet does not perform well.

SLC uni

Pants - white, black

Shirts - kelly green, white, black

Helmet - White

I cannot wait to see what TD strolls out in Norman!! Will he change from New Balance to Under Armour??

I am ready for the SPRING GAME!!

Bring on Dodge Ball!!!

It's not common, it only happens to the inconsequential teams...See oklahoma state, oregon, boston college, etc.

Yeah, funny that the refs cheated and were one was paid Oregon staff...

Otherwise - its an official win!  But everyone really knows OU  won that game...

Well luckily it was an inconsequential game against such a "beneath you" opponent. Yes, you got screwed and I feel for you because you could be #4 and have one loss, but your defense was lit all game.

Your boys used it as a rallying point to man up and start playing better D and quit whining about what happened. Maybe you should too.

It may have sucked and felt like a major league screw job but:

In the grand scheme of things, that game changed nothing that would have happened this season in the big picture.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
