I have posted this a couple times before but will again. UA produces the blank football jersey. Another company decorates the jersey ie adds numbers, names and logos (yes, prob also owned by the same). All orders for football jerseys are place by the end of Feb. The company selling the decorated jersey will produce no less than orders totalling about 300 jerseys. The sales rep told me he could only pre-sell a few dozen jerseys to all the NT outlets. That represents about $10,000 in wholesale orders. I asked if I could place an order for the minimum they would produce and in return have an exclusive for the jerseys...I was told no. In reality I would pay a large amount to have the jerseys produced and then the rep would also sell to the bookstores allowing them to buy as few as a dozen. I only sell online and before home football games and until there are enough UNT sales to warrant opening a spirit shop or enough retailers carryng NT stuff thats the way it will stay. The University, CLC, UA any everyone else that usually gets the blame for this has nothing to do with it. It all boils down to George Washington and the fans letting him go.

Hope this clears up some confusion, Todd

I really appreciate this explaination as for too long "others" were getting the blame and being accused of not wanting to do anything to help with this situation. It may have been something else some years ago, but today it seems it is all about the George Washingtons as you say. So, it looks like a chicken or the egg deal...no jearseys until people in larger numbers pony up the bucks, but no one can pony up the bucks until they have something to buy. Now, how do we break this dealock? Will it break when the Spirit Shop opens in the new stadium???? Who knows.

By the way, Todd...love your stuff. We have purchased several items (mainly at the games), and will continue to do so. Appreciate your support and the great stuff you carry (and the competitive pricing)!

GO MEAN GREEN!

Maybe we would spend it if the item was offered. We are offered a sub standard product that isn't accurate to our actual jersey and asked to spend the same amount of money as someone getting an accurate replica at the University of Delaware bookstore. That is what frustrates me. I have pride in this University and when I'm offered something I'm supposed to walk around wearing to show that pride that has been compare to something from Walmart you are right I'm going to hold on to my George Washingtons. The University of Delaware is able to do it there is no reason we can't, after all we are THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS!

If i am going to get a unt jersey, i am going to get the real thing. I will not spend money on a UNT jersey that isn't really a UNT jersey.

I know myself and many others that would love to get a jersey but there is no way in hell we are going to buy the current sorry excuse for a jersey.

Don't forget there is quite a few definitions of "real" jerseys out there. A few years ago quite a few people bought the "real" jerseys and found out they fit quite a bit different than most people thought.

We brought the jersey thing up to Rick V. during a podcastt a month back.

I'd be willing to bet that next year you wil see something closer to what you are looking for....

I'm just talking about a replica not game jersey the replicas we are offered aren't even accurate, the numbers aren't even in the right place. RV also told us to think big, that we aren't little old North Texas settling for a plain green jersey with inaccuracies is not thinking big. It can't be impossible and it can't be just our spending. Do a search Nike makes accurate replicas for Montana and Nevada are their fan bases more willing to spend money than us? Do they have a larger national following than us? I don't buy it.

      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.

      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.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finishing 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)
