yh Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 The OU Sooners are going to wear Bud Wilkinson era uniforms for their 2003 season opener vs. North Texas. This is, according to the University, a one-shot deal, at least for this season. Here's a snapshot of the uniform as modeled by one of the team's assistant coaches.Retro Sooner Uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Wouldn't be great (!) if North Texas (my alma mater) could also go retro, and wear their uniforms from the late '70s-early '80s?:Yowza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 Oh, man! I LOVE those uniforms. Granted Apple Green is a very extreme color but it made for a very unique uniform. The whole UNT getup from the Hayden Fry era was a perfect icon for the 70's - Avocado on Apple Green and that swooshy eagle logo that could have just as easily be used for a regional airline. Thanks for posting that photo. Even though I tend to have more of a conservative/traditionalist lean when it comes to uniforms and logos, the UNT uniform from the 70's is a guilty pleasure of mine.

TruColor Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 You should've seen those things live (I did!)...It was actually Apple Green and Forest Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Um, that OU pic is basically Stanford without the S on the helmet. I don't think "Oklahoma" when I see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
