Here was my rendition

In a way jerseys do win games. Alternate jerseys and uniform contracts attract players. The logo on the uniform matters more than you think. Look at Oregons success. You don't think that has any relation to their connection with Nike? I'm sure kids hate opening their locker to brand new equipment and apparel. Yes Nebraska has a long tradition but for the kids that are on the roster right now, that tradition is dim because they were toddlers during the years of Nebraska dominance. Also if you look back at the progression of uniforms, the only similarity between years is that the jersey is red, the pants are white and there's a stripe somewhere. Nebraska needs help with recruiting because of its location and alternate jerseys are a good way to do that.

Here's a little mock up I did of a jersey idea. I think it would be cool to see a black variation of the regular jersey. Instead of the glossy black helmet I would prefer the matte finish, but this is about the best I could do.

Our jerseys looked a lot better than I expected. I think they should have gone with the matte black helmet instead but the glossy still looked pretty sweet. If they ditched the "N" on the front of the jersey and went to the regular number style I think this would be a pretty cool option for any game.

Apparently no one really knows about uniforms. The reason that the stripes on the sleeves looked so different last season was because they changed the fit of the uniform. The sleeves are much shorter and are a tighter better performing fit. Minus the NFL which requires every player to wear tall socks, wearing socks in football is a dated trend. The Huskers uniforms are a lot like the Yankees, there is tradition behind them so you will never see a huge change in design. When they changed them to the thick stripe on the pants and different top to look more modern they caught a lot of flack for it and those jerseys were gone in a year.
