Thanks for everyone's comments. The new design is below.

Beginning April 16th the shirts will be available for purchase at the Exes Center for $12 each. Shirts must be purchased in person. There will be no mail order for this project. Proceeds from the shirt sales go to student scholarships. Questions? Call the Exes at 1-800-UNT-1153 or locally at 940-565-2834.

One suggestion: The NORTH TEXAS you've used is from the academic wordmarks. Per UNT's branding website, the academic wordmarks are preferred for academic and administrative use. For sports, UNT prefers the NORTH TEXAS spirit mark, which is a slightly different font and style. You'll find the spirit marks on the UNT football helmets, t-shirts, hats, etc.

Here is a link to the UNT branding website, where vector images of spirit marks, spirit images, and combinations of the marks and images are available for download:

Using the word marks looks better then the spirit marks given the size of the text. Damn the R and O for mating in the spirit marks.

To be quite frank, I don't understand why we have two different sets.

Edit: I can't spell.

I, too, like the new design. But, then, I liked the first one too. Call me "graphics challenged"...anyway the new design looks good. I'll buy it and a few extras for friends. Let's hand it to the Denton Exes for doing something fun and positive and responding to a few people's "concerns" with the original design. Let's buy the T-shirts and let's wear them to the Navy game!!!! The Denton Exes need our support for getting this project rolling....BUY "em now...call the Exes and order yours today....my order is already in! See you at the game...love the idea about selling them at the spring game. GO MEAN GREEN!

Bravo!

And thanks for the timely response for what could have been a very sensitive issue, especially those from the Naval Academy who will visit Fouts this Fall (along with their parents/relatives/friend) and...............Roger Staubauch!

I think many would agree that the Cadets of Army can say or use "Sink Navy" in any form, fashion, yell or graphic arts on any T-shirt and get away with it; just not sure a civilian-oriented campus like UNT could ever do the same, though; but as always, just my .02 on this issue.

Previously stated: "this might offend the astronomy club though because it shows stars sinking, and if stars were sinking on earth that would be a good indicator the world is coming to an end, therefore it is not appropriate."

I liked the first shirt and I don't think it was disrespectful, but the second shirt looks good too. It's not like we are saying "Navy sucks! (in bold letters)Btw...News Flash - our ships arent getting sunk in Iraq.

I'm from a military family and they thought the first shirt was better and not offensive. It is a football game/rivalry....just my two cents.

I don't understand it, either. I don't know if other universities do the same thing - have one set of marks for its academic departments and another set for sports and other non-academic activities. But it especially doesn't make sense when you're trying to establish a new branding identity.

I would like to see an effort to get a shirt printed for every home game. I get a Lobo blast every week during football season with the UNM shirt for the upcoming home game. For example they have the New Mexico showdown (NMSU), the Border Battle with UTEP - heck we could name some of our battles to give the event an identity. Those programs we are still building our relationship with would get the "Sink Navy" treatment. Further, you buy all shirts at the front of the season and get one for free: Metroplex Showdown (SMU), Border War (OU), Cook the Ragin Cajuns" "Topple Troy," "Blast the Blue Raiders," Ambush Arkie State". Mean Green diehards would have their gear ironed, hung up in logical order and ready to go before the end of August!

If you gave shirts like these away to students (with ID) as they walk through the gates...you might see a boost in attendance.

This is a great idea. I'll put my order in for two of each right know. Where do I send the orders?

Even a better idea, I'll put you down for funding the first 10,000. When can the Athletic Department expect the check?

The shirts that UNM sells before every week's game look more like bowl game shirts as opposed to high school spirit ribbons.

I love seeing stadiums decked out in solid color like the bright yellow gold shirts the entire student section wore in Tempe on a couple of Mean Green occasions.

You do realize that most large, BcS, conference schools do this, don't you? Alienate someone because they "hated the athletics environment at their high school?" I would hope we've grown out of that by college.

      Transfer Brenen Lorient Signs With Mean Green

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed forward Brenen Lorient who is coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances at Florida Atlantic. The 6-foot-9 transfer comes to the Mean Green after playing two seasons with the Owls where he played in 52 total games and was a member of their 2023 Final Four team that also won the Conference USA regular season and tournament championship. He will have two years of eligibility remaining. The Ocala, Florida, native is joining a North Texas team he’s played against three times in his career. In those three games, Lorient averaged 3.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. In his most recent matchup against the Mean Green in the quarterfinals of the 2024 American Athletic Conference tournament, Lorient scored four points, had two rebounds and a block. This past season in a win versus Eastern Michigan, Lorient scored a career-high 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting in just 15 minutes of action. He has scored five or more points six times, including six points in 10 minutes off the bench versus Illinois. Lorient’s single-game career high for rebounds is five, which he’s done twice — last season against Memphis and North Texas. He had a single-game career high three blocks versus Temple in the 2024 AAC Tournament semifinals. The athletic rising junior scores predominately around the rim. Last year he shot 52 percent in the paint but did show some range as he knocked down three 3-pointers. Lorient is a 2022 graduate of Calvary Christian Academy, a perennial prep powerhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was a three-star prospect and was rated as the nation’s No. 130 overall prospect, No. 25 power forward in the country and the No. 22 player from the state of Florida. He chose FAU out of high school over Florida Gulf Coast, Georgia State, Murray State and Stetson among others. While at Calvary Christian, Lorient helped lead his team to the 2022 Florida High School Athletic Association 4A state championship, a No. 3 end of season national ranking and a 26-2 overall record. CCA also won the National Federation of State High School Associations State Champions Invitational title, which is a national tournament between state champions. Calvary Christian won by an average margin of 24 points in Lorient's senior season. He played alongside four other players who would earn DI scholarships: Greg Glenn (Tulane), Marvel Allen (Dayton), Carl Cherenfant (Memphis) and Taylor Hendricks who after one season at UCF would be the No. 9 overall pick by the Utah Jazz in the 2023 NBA Draft. Prior to his time at CCA, Lorient led Forest High School in Ocala, Florida, to a 2021 region title and the school’s first state semifinal appearance since 1973. He led the Wildcats that year in points per game (17.5), rebounds per game (9.0), assists per game (2.8), steals per game (1.4) and blocks per game (1.4). Forest finished with an 18-8 record in 2021 and the 6A region 1 championship. He was named the Boys Basketball Player of the Year in Marion County by the Ocala Star-Banner. Lorient joins a UNT incoming class that includes freshman Tyran Mason (Plano HS) and so far six other D1 transfers: Jasper Floyd (Fairfield), Latrell Jossell (Stephen F. Austin), Johnathan Massie (Longwood), Grant Newell (California), Brock Vice (Creighton) and Atin Wright (Drake). The Mean Green are coming off a 19-win season last year under first-year head coach Ross Hodge. UNT reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament for a third straight year and won a NCAA national postseason tournament game for a fourth straight year. They are just one of seven schools in the country who have an active streak of four or more consecutive years. For more information on UNT men's basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      Grant Newell............Transfer From Cal

      Sounds like he’s already better than AScott. I thought AScott underperformed from all the hype he got. Soft when finishing.
