ibsouper Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 This is my first post, but I've been a lurker for a long time. Thought yall might enjoy this:http://www.unt.edu/branding/imagemarksspirit.htmI don't care for it, but I'll reserve anymore comments until I see it on a jersey or helmet.

officeglenn Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I dig the outlined versions, and it's a nice logo and all, but I fail to see what eagles have to do with Mean Green anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 edit: welcome aboard ibsouper the old name was Mean Green Eagles, or Eagles for short. Nowadays they just use Mean Green.I REALLY don't care for this. it's like having an Xbox and trading it in for an Atari...for comparison, parts of the old set:...and the new crap A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That eagle head reminds me of the USFL Washington Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 It's like going back in time a little bit. Like a 1980 set.All I gotta say is you can't lick UNT. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That eagle head reminds me of the USFL Washington Generals. I believe you mean the Washington Federals. The Generals were the team which used to "lose" to the Globetrotters and coached by Red Klotz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting analogy, since I was a freshman at North Texas in 1980...I'm not sure what to think.Since I can't open the files (I'm using Illustrator 10), can someone tell me - is the Green 356 C?

slapshot Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Concept wise, a big step down from what was currently being used. However, it does make the branding more consistent with the teams.The phased-out logos are dark blue, green, and copper. But all the teams i've seen wear green and black. So now the new logos match the color scheme. Back-to-BackΒ Fatal FortyΒ Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discriminhater is not totally correct. UNT has TWO nicknames, and have since the '60s. The school has always used "Eagles" as the official nickname, but in the sixties, the term "Mean Green" was used to describe the football teams' defense. This "Mean Green" nickname got attached to defensive lineman Joe Greene as well, and became his nickname in the NFL - Mean Joe Green.Eagles is correct, Mean Green is correct, and sometimes they combine the two - Mean Green Eagles...

The Green Meanie Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Go Mean Green! Thanks! As for their new stuff, I'm not sure. While their old set was nice, this one has a simplistic 70's feel to it, something I've always liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 When I started going there (NTSU back then), the football team was wearing these:EDIT: the color has faded quite a bit on this top one. The actual color was somewhere in-between these two pics.Apple Green and Forest Green. Nummy-licious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Can't believe Bud would encourage underage drinking. Well, the drinking age was probably 18 or 19 then, so I can't believe Bud would encourage football players to drink.As for those colors: Oooof!The logo was kinda neat, but didn't they call it the flying worm, or something? cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the Flying Worm. I loved that logo.As far as the drinking age goes...I was 17 when I started college in 1980. The legal drinking age was 18. I've never been much of a drinker, but as a music major, it was all about getting into the clubs to hear all the bands (North Texas has the largest jazz program in country, if not the world). The next year, they raised the drinking age to 19. No "grandfather" clause...I had to wait another year. However, I just turned 21 when they finally raised it to 21.

sacker12 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I think that either the flying eagle, the eagle head, and one of the combo UNT combo logos, preferably the one with the eagle head, would look good on a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I decided to try to see how one of the new logos would look on a helmet. Here is one with the flying eagle logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I decided to make see how the swooping bird logo would look on a helmet a la "Flying Worm" era. I also made one with a black facemask because that is what they currently have on their helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
