The Husker Uniform Thread

International Man of Mystery
So, I've made it clear this isn't my favorite subject, but I understand that several people like to talk about what we're wearing, whether that's a change in shoes or helmets or whatever. Some folks like to be staunchly conservative, some would like to see more Nike-like change. So here's a thread to talk about uniform changes, whatever they may be.

We've already seen the gloves they got in this year in THIS THREAD.

Now I bring you the latest and greatest - New shoes!

Pro Model with redesigned shell toe

Black shoe with Crick's number on the back

The shoes Crick wore for his SI Cover shoot

 
I could care less - but I know that it matters a lot to that 16-18 year old kid we're trying to recruit...which means it matters to the Huskers. I highly doubt it's at the top of any recruits list, but a lot of these kids are hung up on the "image" or "persona" a university puts forth. The uniforms are a major part of that.

This is something I don't get, either. Kids really care about the uniform, gloves, shoes, etc? I didn't when I was 18, but if that's what helps land a recruit, I guess you gotta play that game.

 
Dang kids, all they care about is what logo is on their shoes or jerseys! Guess they never grew up with BK's and Pro Wings! ;)

And they LOVE that iPad in their locker. Yet from the looks of it, it's stationary and can't even be removed/used. It's just got their name/number, etc. Anyone been in the locker room to figure out what that thing is there for? Twitter updates during the game?

See at 3:30. When asked about them, Kinnie even goes so far as to say "this is nebraska, this is what we're all about". Once again, that "image" is crucial. Didn't see em touring the academic center did ya? :)

The first shoe is cool, the others are hideous. After a second glance, pics 2 & 3 are the same shoe. Looks like somebody was stoned when they made that.

The main reason for them is so players and coaches can communicate through email before and after practices.

Since were on the subject of the uniforms. Has anyone seen where/if you can buy the new gloves yet?

Couldn't agree more. Recruits do care, not all of them I'm sure, but if enough of them do than why not. I actually love the shoes, nothing wrong with a little flash. Wish we had cleats like that when I was playing in high school.

 
These are just a lineman design I bet. I worukd almost guarantee that the skill positions wear the new climalite design, the lightest football clear ever made. Now we can talk competitive advantage.
