ColoradoHusk Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It looked like there was a gray face mask shown, so maybe it will be some type of throw-back tribute to the 70's and early 80's.think the gray was just a filter in the video Yep, I think so as well. Ok, I'm seeing that as well. The video goes to black and white for half a second or so. That's what I saw. I guess a guy can dream. 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 97 throwbacks? That is basically just what we have now w/o stripes on the pants. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 97 throwbacks? That is basically just what we have now w/o stripes on the pants. If you pause that video at about 3 seconds in, you can see that it appears to be a regular jersey with just the numbers giving the appearance of 97 mesh throwbacks. Quote Link to comment

There are minor differences between current jerseys and '97 jerseys. I would be all for a throwback look, especially to see the pants without stripes. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think the full mesh as shown above in that Frost picture versus what they wear now, I think it's more than a minor difference Quote Link to comment

I was commenting on the main cosmetic differences. The main difference between '97 and now is the pant striping (or lack there of), jersey stripes, and other minor differences. Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It doesn't look like alts. Saying they have a new look, it seems like the home and away will get some kind of mesh detail. 1 Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 They should do a full mesh. I don't remeber the brand, but some teams last year had a very fine mesh where you could see their rib protectors and such. A mesh uni, even with a finer mesh, would look sick! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I think people are on the right track with the 97 throwbacks. Would be worn when they honor the 97 championship on their 20th anniversary. So I would guess it would NOT be for the Ohio State game - would think they'd look for a more winnable game. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 As an alternate it doesn't really make that much sense. I'm also of the opinion that there's a decent chance these will be our regular uniforms - what else could be different (esp if it's referencing the '97 team) besides a fake mesh on the numbers, which is not all that 'alternate'? The only differences design wise between our current uniforms and the '97 ones is a lack of pant stripes, inconsistent shoulder stripes (some had none, some had one, some had two), and the adidas/big xii/nebraska patches.

Swiv3D Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Since adidas had ucla go to that awful cross-hatch number font for their main jerseys a couple years ago, I wouldn't put it past them making this the main uni (although a mesh font probably wouldn't look bad) if the main unis got rid of the pant stripes, I'd be pretty happy. I still think this will probably be a one off Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 So do we know if this is for just one game, or all season? Quote Link to comment
