UNT Throwback Uniforms (Opening Day 100th Anniversary)
Just unveiled today.

[Image: 143ooq9.jpg]

For the Idaho game, our home opener, 100 years of football. Our best logo, from back in our glory days...the Flying worm, everyone.

Hopefully this means our helmets may get a logo soon.

They are a "tribute" to our past, not a direct throwback, which is why the logo is a bit brighter green.

Either way, they're great. Pretty much Mean Joe Greene-era jersey/pants, Hayden Fry helmet. (Except the helmets were green under Fry.)

That is one ugly logo. It can still be improved though.

It's so ugly that it's cool...like the Astros Tequlia Sunrise.

I love it because it's so terrible. Players and fans do too. It is so 70s.

Everything is sharp, except the logo.. I'm not sure what that was, but you need to fire the graphic designer.

...the logo is from the 70s.

Hayden Fry's squad sported it.

It's so bad it's great. Love it. It's affectionately/mockingly called the "Flying Worm"

I think most UNT fans will tell you it's terrible. So terrible we love it. It was pretty much the only thing fans INSISTED end up on the jersey.

The thing I do like about the throwback is the simplicity. It's not flashy, it's not a modern take on a classic, it's what it was during a time period. Simple. Even the worm or whatever, as bad as it is, they didn't touch it.

Worm, is one description for that bird. I was thinking more like it could be a flying phallic. Either way, that is one cool green. I like the number font too.

Catchy unis.

I love the simplicity of the unis, but I am not a fan of the Flying Worm.

I am waiting for the day when you have a Son of Worm helmet.

Does winning come with the uni too? Or do you have to go to Academy to buy some game? 05-stirthepot

All kidding aside, thats a pretty good uniform. I am glad to see the "Flying Worm" on the helmet.

I don't care if they come out in pink and purple polk-a-dots on August 31'st....just duplicate that UNT football season of 1975 when I was a junior and then I can die comfortably.

No. Iowa's logo looks too much like ours. Fry coached at UNT before going to Iowa, and we had our logo first.
