  1. Salt on top and pepper on the bottom! Nothing says shriek chic like a skull and crossbones, darlings. The boys on the other team are going to be quaking in their booties when these come out of the tunnel.
  2. July 23, 2015. A day that will live in infamy across the Great Plains. For a month Adidas has had us on the edge of our seat, or hiding in the closet, whatever floats your boat, waiting for Nebraska's new alternate couture. It's always touchy messing with one of the classic designs in college football. You already have a classic like Enter the Dragon, and you're hoping they'll come up with Seven Samurai, but lately Adidas has been producing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Drag Queen. Oscar Wilde told us, “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” Unfortunately for Nebraska, Adidas has embraced this mantra as their company slogan. You don't have to be perfect to be pretty, but imperfection isn't doesn't exactly pay the rent, either. And Adidas has been oh, so imperfect of late. Put down that monkey and get ready, it's reveal time! Let's start at the top with that helmet. Black is classic and classy, but this is the Charles Nelson Reilly of black. It wants to be fierce and bold but the matte finish is so 1972. Did someone brain that player with an ax? Is that why there's a huge bloody streak down the middle? The warmups have a Keystone Kops look to them I just can't get on board with. I can't tell if they're retro ironic or slightly moronic. The N is massive and blood-red. It isn't very Donna Karan. And the jerseys? They look frilly. My mother had a bra with that pattern. It had more lace than the entire West Village. The numbers are prison chic, but not in a bad way. I give them a thumbs up. Overall they're slightly goth, not necessarily in a Robert Smith of the Cure way. More like a Branch Davidian way. The pants. Oh, the pants. I used to have pants like that. But I also used to be named Louise and lived in Germany. The more I look at them the happier I feel. They're sharp and bold and tough and slightly menacing. They're the Viggo Mortenson of pants. Hopefully the pinstripes make the boys faster so they can outrun those eager cheerleaders, the vixens. And then the footwear. Somewhere in Trenton there's a hooker looking for her shoes. They scream Peggy Sue Went Bowling. White shoes with black pants? No wonder they're AdiZEROs. I can't tell if Adidas has bad designers or just bad taste. I'm going to need a Ritalin smoothie to forget these shoes. To sum up, this couture isn't hideous. It's a damned sight better than what Adidas has done to Nebraska in the past. If it inspires the boys to play their best, I'm all for it. “Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” You tell 'em, Orson.
  3. I was into designer jeans and neck scarves more than football and sweat in my college days, but that doesn't mean I can't direct your attention to what's IMPORTANT!! You all may have been too busy fighting among yourselves to notice, but there is a GAME this week! Two more days before the Cornhuskers take the field again and all you people want to do is squabble squabble squabble! Well no more tears boys! It's time to take a gander at the men across the gridiron, the Northwestern Wildcats! The battle may be waged on the field, but the locker room is where all the action happens. The Cornhuskers are dapper dandies, we know that. Their uniform puts the class in classic! The road couture of white on red screams solid and makes me scream for more! I mean, rock me, Amadeus! The only thing that could make this better is a girl's best friend, something rock hard and shiny. (diamonds of course you silly!) I've always said you can't screw around with the classics, and the Cornhusker's husky men are every bit the fashion icons. So we're set here, and go get 'em, Cornhuskers! Now let's look across the way. What do we see tonight? Is it the solid and stodgy old jerseys of a jaunty Big Ten foe? Those dark blues are very slimming, especially for those beefy linemen, but for a sharp young buck like that... DRAB!!! And tie up those laces Cinderella or you'll trip on your way to the BALL! Now, my little spies whisper in my ear that this week those Wildcats are going to BLOW those locker room doors off with some hot new fashion. These new uniforms have positively got me pointing NORTH for Northwestern! Scroll down if you dare, but be warned, they are seething! Black is the new Black, I always say. You can't have too much Black and these duds are blacker than the old crows who sewed them! They've put the THICK in my Gothic! Or maybe the Patron Saint of Retail has interfered with Northwestern's grand plan. All Black in a night game could work against those Wildcats! How will they see those Tight Ends on that dark field? Will the quarterback be able to give his Wide Receivers all they can hope for AND MORE? His name is Trevor and he'll have to be so so clever! So are you ready, Cornhuskers? You'll have to be at your PEAK to fend off this CHIC!
  4. Boys boys boys! You can't spend your life worrying what the girl in the dressing room next to you is wearing, you have to ROCK the outfit you have on! The model wears what the Designer puts them in and it's their job to make that outfit SNAP! Now, I say the Cornhuskers go out there and OWN those duds! Don't worry about what the Ohio States are wearing. Put some SASS in those pants and play your bootie off, Cornhuskers!
  5. It's a clean look. It's dashing and contrasts well with the green field. I love it!
  6. I see I'm not the only one excited about this year's new uniforms! Cheers!
  7. Black is such a smart color. Everything goes with black. I applaud your choice Bo Pelini!
  8. I've always said it's important to experiment! Color is your friend. All-white uniforms need a little pizazz, like that nifty stripe on the leg you kids wore in 2005. That was a very in look for you and you should go for it again! Get rid of dad's uniform, time to spice things up! Wearing all one color, such as a white pants, white top, white socks and white shoes is overkill. Break it up a little bit. I loved the retrosexual throwback jerseys your boys wore for the 300th sellout. Tres chic, and it really tied into a hot trend. You should go back to that every once in a while. I would suggest a black turtleneck, but not a mock, for those cold November games. Also, try some black leggings once in a while. Black lengthens the leg and can help those husky linemen with better definition and a sharper look.
  9. These are just wonderful! Where do you find them?
  10. Now, now! There is nothing unmanly about discussing fashion! You boys keep your discussion going. I think it's great!!!
  11. Oh, I just LOOOVE these threads! I'm so happy we have another one. You just can't pay too much attention to fashion!
  12. I know! Don't you just love it?!?!?!?
  13. This silly thing says I'm not valid. How valid do I have to be to post here?

      Hi zoogies. Love the hat. I clicked the button to resend. I clicked it and clicked it and clicked it. But I have nothing. I feel very sad about this.
