Current student here. Just to throw in my two cents. I hope they use black in the uniforms more this year if there are new ones. I really feel like a lot of my fellow friends/students like the way t

My sister also had a Chevette. Perhaps UNT90 and I can drive it around town while sucking down Bud Lights, texting to our hearts content, and giving each other "handshakes" while the girls discuss whether or not it's OK to wear white uniforms after labor day.

Will it be the old Bud Light bottles or the newer, sleeker ones?

I would be so happy if these jerseys and helmets came back...

To the best of my knowledge, we will not be getting new uniforms this season. I believe the players will be selecting from our current uniforms. I do believe our helmets will be changing. I'm fairly confident our helmets will be green, with white SOWs on the sides. I don't know if the helmets will be green like last seasons or a mat finish green.

How about a version of the flying worm against SMU?

Every person I know that doesn't keep up with UNT I know said the flying worm looked terrible. I've been a fan for a long time and must agree with them. Historic for a one time throw back, great. They can now rest in peace in the 70s with shag carpet. Edited by UNTexas

Green helmets with white SOW would be my preference, especially if the white SOW was outlined in black, matching the SOW on the 50. I'd also like the existing white and green uniforms, if white numbering, lettering, and were outlined in black also. Okay, time to go see what I did with my man card.

Yeah. I would have preferred the apple green with the white flying worm, matching the original flying worm helmets. As long as the greens weren't going to match, we might as well have gone all out. Still looking for that man card.

I'm constantly amazed by our inability to create a uniform combo that actually looks good. North Texas has a great Communication Design program, yet we can't seem to ever get it right. I'm trying not to complain over a crinkled $20 bill, but I can't take it anymore. The SOW on the helmets doesn't fit correctly. The standard proportions of the eagle don't work on a helmet....at all. Please lets hire a professional to design us uniforms or hire a comm design student that would do a better job.

Im kinda with you man. The SOW sticker looks a little lopsided. The sticker needs to be smaller or better strategically placed. I love the idea, don't get me wrong, but if you're gonna do it then do it right.

There is a reason they call it the flying worm, looks like it and it's awful. It looks like something from the 70's, which it is, and doesn't look even close to modern. Don't get me wrong I'm glad we had it back in the day and I can respect it as a NT fan but lets put it to bed and keep it for throwback. As for a hip and/or modern look, give me that green helmet with the over large white eagle on the side. Or we could swap those colors. The carbon fiber helmets were really nice, just wish the color on the eagle was same as the rest of the uniform and the eagle was blown up a little more. kinda like the oregon ducks wings on their helmets, something like this would be pretty cool.

No uniform change/update would be a bummer. After the black unis from last season, you would think they would roll with some kind of an addition of black into the unis for this year, especially after hearing all the positive feedback. And, especially since black appears to be used in pretty much all other UNT sports uniforms. I do hope the helmets are green with a white SOW, maybe a little smaller or something. Overall, I loved the green helmet from last year with the black SOW.

And along with the unis, how about adding some color to the football stadium? It looks pretty bare to me, so how about some additonal green stuff around the stadium, such as the SOW at various places. It looks like they're trying to keep it as some type of a general venue stadium, for other sports venues or something. Let's be aggressive & advertise UNT & be proud of the Mean GREEN!

I was told that there are talks of new uniforms. I was also told that there would be absolutely no way that they would do away with the black uniforms being that they were such a hit last year in a pivotal year.

And, most importantly, we won in them. I like winning. If we win in black, wear black.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      I haven't been disappointed in how we've done in conference play. We're gonna finish anywhere from 17-10 to 20-7 in league play. Was disappointed in how we didn't compete against name teams, in OOC play. I do think the future is bright. I think those incoming recruits are very talented. (especially the pitchers from Michigan and Tennessee). And I think Ausha Moore, will be another speed merchant like Cierra is. One more thing: I think Madison Conley will be our next great power hitter.

      I don't know what the problem is, either. Can't blame it on a tougher confernece when half of the 10-team AAC is CUSA refugees, including the top three in the standings.

      Interestingly it has gone the other direction, so I guess I'm way off on my ranting. Had AI run the % of draft picks from P5 teams 2014: Approximately 82% 2015: Approximately 80% 2016: Approximately 83% 2017: Approximately 85% 2018: Approximately 81% 2019: Approximately 79% 2020: Approximately 83% 2021: Approximately 84% 2022: Approximately 82% 2023: Approximately 80%

      Does the data actually support this? I'm not saying you're wrong, as I haven't yet seen any numbers comparing G5 draftees this year vs. the past. But, just perusing round by round, it feels like I'm seeing plenty of G5, FCS, and occasionally lower levels being represented. Where the G5 might be underrepresented (as compared to past performance) might be the high profile 1st round and maybe 2nd round picks.
