UniformCritics.com: North Texas

[Christopher Walker]

So I saw this website start up a few months ago and bugged them to include us. I got an email this morning saying they had.

It's pretty detailed!

Very coo readl!! Great job as usual Christopher!

[mdmeangreen]

Awesome job Christopher! For the record, I do like the classic look to our uniforms. The helmet? Well, let's just say I'll not comment at this time.

[Christopher Walker]

Oh! I can't claim any credit other than bugging those site guys. They did all the research themselves.

It is a good sign when talk turns to uniforms on GMG.Com. It means that the season is fast approaching! Yippeeeeeeeee!

Way too much time between basketball and football that track, swimming, softball, tennis, etc. simply cannot fill completely. It is time for some football!

I have to admit, I'm impressed that its taken this long for uniform talk. Usually happens around late June/early July. Times are a changin' around here.

Good job Christopher, getting us in the mainstream.

I'm mostly pleased with the uniform so I won't post much. I prefer the darker green but since kelly is our current color that won't be changed. I much prefer the current numbers to the style that they tried back in 2005. My biggest gripe is with the helmet. 'North Texas' is way too much. My preference is the superimposed 'NT' that the Alumni Association uses minus the seal. SOW is also acceptable. Anything else...thumbs down.

Well, we did have a colossal distraction in seeing a Mean Green basketball player drafted... and all that goes with it... during the offseason.

Speaking of helmets, are we going to have "100" on our helmets (or somewhere on our uniforms) next year to acknowledge our century of football as UT did several years ago? Surely we will not let this opportunity for a little press recognition pass - or will we?

Uniform Critics? They didn't really criticize anything. They simply gave a recent history of the uniforms.

Therefore, they should change the name of the site to "Uniform Historians."

A little nitpicking here:

Prior to signing its current deal with Nike in 2011, the Mean Green donned a forest green hue with Under Armour with white helmets, clever piping and a “NORTH TEXAS” wordmark across their jerseys.

I don't believe we've worn forest green (hunter green) since the Dickey days. During the Dodge days, they called it a shade of kelly green, although it was a different shade than we're using now.

fans and alumni preferred the simplistic approach.

We did? We didn't stage mass protests with jars of urine and feces...I guess that's close enough to "preferred."

I had the same thoughts when I read the article.

They have a portion for the public to rate uniforms on a five-star system, so there's that I guess.

When I say next year, I mean, of course, THIS year. Perhaps a decision has been made on this subject and I just missed it. Please inform.

They are recognizing 100 years by wearing tribute uniforms with elements from past uniforms.

[Varsity]

I wish we had a better set of uniforms.

[golfingomez]

in his pictures of old uni's he's missing the amazing all-blacks of 2006... aka the most entertaining year of UNT football over the past 8 seasons

Thanks, UNT 90 Grad, but will that really mean anything to a larger audience?
