Every time those weak mockups get posted, an Eagle dies.

Adding all black into our regularly worn uniforms is as silly as when Simon/Helwig added navy blue. Our colors are green and white. Period. There are plenty of variations that look great. The black on

There is black in the trim. Always has been. But it's not the primary color. Neither is the vomit green yellow on your link.

More over, who the hell calls our team "The Mean Black" or "The Mean White"? This university has had branding issues for far too long.

We should beg to have them change the add campaign to black light to greatness or white light to greatness.

A bunch of goll dern wimmin talking about clothing for men playing a violent game. Worrying about " accent" colors and "branding" and "logos" like it makes a difference when a 305 pound defensive lineman meets a 195 pound back carrying the pigskin. "I just love how the green in your jersey brings out the green in your eyes" said the lineman. To which the ball carrier replied "that logo on your helmet is so tastefully accented in sky blue".

The uniform being posted on this forum needs to be seriously made for next year, including the shiny green with the black interlocked NT. Out green right now just looks indifferent. It doesn't know if it's trying to be glossy or be matte, so it just kind of sits there looking blah. Uni on here is legit though. This needs to be pushed as the primary home uni. GMG

Well, uniforms attract recruits, which in hand attracts better talent. Which equals to winning teams, which equals to publicity and money, which means on the lowest level of beneficiary would be us. It'd be us bc it will eventually bump our degree prestige up a few nods in the totem pole. So, uniforms matter. It's not wing-t football anymore. Perception is everything to 18 year olds coming out of HS. Uniforms are very persuasive.

I love it when the puffed up so called X&O guy reads every post on a uni thread and then contributes to it...

marketing to your target audience, branding your institution & recruiting young people are all part of the equation....

good design is good business

That was good. I have an idea for the negative Nancies - if you don't like the uniform threads, don't read them & don't comment. It really is that easy to do.

Considering since I have went to NT, I have seen three different logos/brands be rolled out. I would prefer to keep what we have going for at least another decade or so before it gets freshened up to whatever seems hip at the time. That being said we will never, ever see an inter-locking NT on our helmets (or at least as long as we have our current Chancellor). The one that people love isn't even the same font as what is being used on everything else so it would only look even more out of place.

When it comes to the uniforms I am fine with that being a moving target. It's more for the players anymore as "traditional" uniforms are going by the wayside.

you are missing the point...

I think most everyone is pretty happy with the university's current branding efforts.

This is not about a total re-brand or wholesale change to our current brand management....it's about adding our Letterman's interlocked NT as an additional mark. This NT mark would be used primarily in athletics.

...interlocked letters are not "hip at the time" they are classic & collegiate....ours happens to be unique & balanced.

Where the interlocking letters that the Letterman's association has for its logo stops dead in its tracks is that it is not an official (or rather -- approved) logo of the school. It will likely never be if URCM has its way. Should an interlocking NT ever be created it will use the current font that is being use like in the UNT.edu splash page:

UNTFan23 sure likes the words never and ever...

I can just imagine if the design ideas were left up to guys like UNTFan23.

Hey...UNTFan23 question:

"What logo should we put on our new baseball team's ball cap?"

answer - you "never-ever" wanting to paint outside the lines or push for change may reply...."uhhhh I don't know....how bout spelling out North Texas in our special font plus have our mechanical diving eagle beside it"

If you want to fight the good fight with the folks with URCM you are welcome to it, but those folks will tell you getting the Letterman's or the Alumni Associations logo on a helmet/hat will not happen. It's not me you need to convince, it's them. Convince them to "paint outside the lines," not me.

Here are all of the approve logos and spirit marks that athletics can use (requires a EUID acct).

I'll bet if the URCM department had its way the Letterman's Assoc. and UNT Alumni Assoc. would also use the approved branding to make sure everyone is conveying the same marketing message. I'll bet that's why you can't buy UNT Alumni Assoc. merchandise.

He says "never wanting to paint outside the lines" as he's pushing the same interlocking or block lettering style that a long list of other sports teams use. I'll take the diving eagle or "UNT" or "North Texas" over the possibility of people reading "Texas Northern."

Plus, the last thing we need is yet another logo to add to the inconsistency of the last 15 years.

Ya, definitely a segment for gay, not gay.

I think we all know what the ruling would.be.

Well here's my question. Who is the head of the URCM and who directs this person/committee to make "additions" to the official word mark?

FFR and I used to have to deal with some knucklehead with the University who kept telling us, and the athletic department, that we couldn't produce the battle flag because it was ILLEGAL to reproduce the Texas flag in any other color scheme but red, white, and blue. Rick finally (through lots of diligence and phone time) got an official opinion from one of the University attorneys that it WAS NOT illegal to do so. He presented this, in writing, to another knuckleheaded University bureaucrat when we were having a meeting with athletic department officials and the KH (once again) tried to say that the flag in question was "illegal".

You can win the fight, it just takes a lot of......persistence.

I choose to go the "come and take it" route. I have had some battle flags made with the NT-star in the place of the single star. To me this makes it more of a NT flag than just the color scheme. If any (aforementioned) knuckleheaded official tries to prevent me from flying it at a tailgating event, I will turn it into a public event...that hopefully will get some media coverage.

agreed this can all be comical at times....and that's a funny "bit" on the Ticket.

to all the "macho men" with the "who gives a crap about logos comments" & those who post "silly videos" should care...

because bottom line...big picture....it's about more money & respect for our university.

You want North Texas "athletics" to be bigger? We'll need to brand and market ourselves bigger.

To me...this is less of a "bit" and more about economics 101.

      NIL Keeping More College Underclassmen Out of NFL Draft

      How does this topic make someone barf? It's one of the only things about the NIL that isn't bad for fans!

      NIL Keeping More College Underclassmen Out of NFL Draft

      I heard this during the NFL Draft over the weekend: Only 58 underclassmen declared for this year's draft, the lowest since 2011. https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2024/1/19/24044307/2024-nfl-draft-fewest-underclassmen-declare-in-over-a-decade This is way down from a peak of 130 in 2021. The chance to earn serious NIL money in college is keeping more athletes from shortening their college careers. One pundit said this trend meant there were a lot fewer NFL-ready players available during the final day of the draft. I don't know if that's true since the team here in Jacksonville has a long tradition of avoiding NFL-ready players.

      Entire College Football Team Joins Players Association

      Encouraged by head coach Trent Dilfer, the entire University of Alabama at Birmingham football team has joined Athletes.org, one of several players associations attempting to organize players ahead of the anticipated future where they can collectively bargain for a slice of the sport's revenue. "I wanted to make sure I helped pour gasoline on something that is going to happen no matter what," said Dilfer, who was paid zero dollars and zero cents playing for the Fresno State Bulldogs from 1990-93. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40024327/uab-becomes-1st-d-football-team-join-players-association

      Atin Wright is officially signed with Mean Green

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament team selection transfer guard Atin Wright. Wright comes to North Texas from Drake where he was the MVC champion's second leading scorer averaging over 14 points per game during the season and was one of the league's top 3-point shooters as he made 65 long range shots at a 40.6 percent clip. The 6-foot-1 guard started all 32 games he played in last year and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 2024 MVC Tournament championship as he averaged 16.3 points per tournament game and poured in 17 points in the title win over Indiana State. For his tournament performance he was named to the league's all-tournament team. Wright will have one year of eligibility remaining. In Drake's NCAA Tournament game last year, Wright led all players as he scored 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting versus Washington State. It was his ninth 20-point game of the season. He scored a season-high 26 points on Feb. 13 in a 78-75 road win over Evansville. In that three-point win at Evansville, Wright sank a 40-foot-game-winner at the buzzer. One of those 20-point performances came on the road against American Athletic Conference foe UAB on Dec. 22. Wright scored 20 points versus the Blazers on 11 shot attempts to go along with a pair of steals. Wright last year played six games against opponents who reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In those six games he averaged 15.1 points per game, including three 20-point performances. Drake went 4-2 in those games. The Hawthorne, California, native began his collegiate career at Cal State Northridge. He played three seasons for the Matadors and was a two-time Big West All-Conference honoree before transferring to Drake in 2023. In his final year at CSUN (2022-23), Wright averaged 16.7 points per game. On Feb. 15, 2023, he set the Matadors single-game scoring record as he dropped 42 points at UC Davis. Wright will join North Texas with 116 career games played, 1,530 career points scored, 198 career 3-pointers made and 174 career assists. A southern California native, Wright graduated from Fairmont Prep in Orange County. He averaged 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game as a high school senior. He led Fairmont to a league title his senior year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2AA California Southern Sectional playoff round. His junior year, he led Orange County in scoring with 25 points per game and was named Southern Section Class 4AA Player of the Year. North Texas is coming off a 19-win season under first-year head coach Ross Hodge where they reached the second round of the NIT. He was the only rookie head coach last year to lead his respective team to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. The Mean Green won 10 league games in their first season in the American Athletic Conference. It was the most league wins by a first year UNT head coach. UNT is one of just seven schools in the country who has won a NCAA postseason game in each of the last four seasons.
