bottom line... we've never used black in the uniforms. if you're gonna do it, you better do it right. i dont think they did it right.

 

all of these look like husker football to me. even the early ones... because that what it was back then.

by that logic, the Husker fans of the future will be clamoring for these new ones, because that's what they did in 2012.

right thats why it sucks so bad.... because these dont fit with husker football. all of the other ones do. even the one with denim and striped sleeves.... because husker (bugeater?) football was so young. and the time of when they wore them should add a huge amount of context to them.

i would be comfortable wearing a variation of every one of our uniforms for a hundred years. just keep it current with the style of jersey. they're all nebraska football. i wouldnt be comfortable wearing the new alternate for a hundred years.

at least they didn't mess with the N. no pun intedended. thank god.

horrible cop out.... they shat on our uniform timeline and tradition. and we're supposed to throw that all out the window because its cool with young kids? FOH

What is this uniform timeline business? You do know we wore throwbacks a couple years ago, and before that we had those terrible abominations from the early 2000's. It's not unheard of for major programs with rich tradition to change things up every now and then.

i approve every throwback we've ever worn except for these. i even enjoyed the all whites and all reds that we've worn in the past. despite the losses that came with them. im not the "dont mess with the uniforms" guy that i may appear to be.

and i question how cool "the young kids" and the rest of you actually think these are.... i honestly think everyones got chubbs because they are new and a change. we'll see how you like them years down the road.

guy, it is one game.

 

so what? they still mess up our whole entire timeline. i would compare it to not selling out a single game.... its just one game.

maybe, but what about a multiverse theory?

 

are you saying we are ruining a streak of wearing the same uniform and we will rue that day in history for the rest of time?

its not even a streak of "the same uniform". all the other uniforms we've ever worn look like nebraska football.... these new uni's just arent nebraska football. almost entirely due to the black secondary color. if you're gonna incorporate black, make it the main color. i could respect that. these new ones however, could get lost in the identity of other teams pretty easy. there is such a fine line with the uniforms and i feel it has been crossed.

is it one game? yes. but its a time where we should take advantage of bringing something new and refreshing to the table, something we would be comfortable wearing for a hundred years if we weren't already all in for our traditional look. gives me that "ehhhhhh, what are you doing?" feeling. messing around with the identity of husker football has proven to not work. i feel that throwing black in as an accent color is really poking around with the identity. i cant help the way i feel. take the black out and you have a winner. add black as the main color and you have a winner.

and i question how cool "the young kids" and the rest of you actually think these are.... i honestly think everyones got chubbs because they are new and a change. we'll see how you like them years down the road.

Support the ideals of our team.

 

 

They wanted a new look.

Adidas delivered a new look.

 

The team likes it and is excited about wearing them.

 

The blue hairs can complain if they want, but the program is progressing along with the majority of the teams in the country (albiet slowly).

 

Keep in mind that this is a one time deal and depending on how that particular Saturday turns out, we may do it again / more often.

 

 

My stance is that if the players are happy, I'm happy.

 

 

I would have liked black pants though. The helmet looks sharp. I'm glad they stuck to the dual stripes on the sleeves / pants. The 'N' on the chest is a little similar to Michigan, but I'm glad they did it. It's the standard, old school 'N' with a new school twist by being black with white trim. A solid compromise if you ask me. The socks look a little funky, but I'm excited to see how they look in action under the lights of Memorial.

 

Just another reason to get excited for football season.

 

Just over 1 MONTH left!

 

GBR!

With the cat fully out of the bag, Adidas releases official pics:

 

 

absolutely not. i would approve of these if they used white instead of black... mainly red with black as an accent just doesnt work at all. we are not texas tech. our colors are scarlet and cream. and then black. not scarlet, cream and black. look at the uniform timeline.... we are getting f---ed like a prom date here folks. this is not our identity. its a blemish on the timeline. go look if you don't believe me.

everyone is saying they used michigans as a template.... if thats what they were going to do, follow suit and use our main colors. red uni's, white "N" on the chest and white stripes.

since they incorporated black... i still maintain my argument for murdered out and matte helmets.

i can't tell if this pukey feeling is the hangover or these atrocious, lazily thrown together alternates.

it honestly looks like adidas hired some of the "graphic designers" in this thread.... and i mean that in the worst way possible. now i know why i was getting so irritated as horrible photoshop attempt after another started showing up in here.

i still back these...

I will probably be in the minority, but I love them! All Red for the Wisconsin game to show them which team is the real Big Red, black for the blackshirt tradition, that big N is gonna look sweet on Superman's chest, and that black on black N on the sleeve is sweet!! Plus the players and recruits love them too...

i'm not a fan of... "lets throw all the elements about the team into a blender"

Who will be this year's Niles Paul, Brandon Kinnie? Will Reed be again underutilized in the game plan? Will Cotton be blocking on 3rd and short or will we try and "trick" em all season and put Reed in there to wiff and make Rex work? Will the drops be as numerious? Will the controversy be as prevalent?

Not to be a kill joy here! I am under the impression from former players that they are Broke and can barely get by? How do you afford a plane ticket unless your parents are buying it?? In other words people dont get your panties into a wad! It is a shot at players not realizing what they have in front of them for their future is all!

turner will be fine. watch him grow into the game changer role this year.

I really hope Westerkamp redshirts. I dont think he needs to but our future as a program looks more promising than this season. We need to win this season, but we have some talent in front him, and i would love to hear Stanton to Westerkamp for three years.

i have to agree... i think the flower has bloomed to a certain degree at the receiver spot (mainly because the "trap" players are gone... niles, kinnie.) no need to jump the gun on westerkamp yet. with that said, i can see him coming in and taking jobs against his teammates' will.

im putting together a tumblr page for husker gif images... mainly for forum use. i'm looking for youtube videos of bo laughing but i can't really find any. feel free to post youtube links to videos that you think would make good gifs. lets keep the actual football plays down to a minimum... mainly looking for husker figures' reactions and things like that. thx

i think its a matter of time before helmets resemble this....

Justin Tuck didn't like it last season when opponents jabbed their fingers into his helmet and yanked, presumably to aggravate his neck injury. (Can't imagine why. That sounds downright pleasant.) One way to prevent such ungentlemanly conduct is to make it impossible for anyone to stick their fingers through a facemask. And that's how we get Tuck's new 2012 helmet that's half hockey goalie, half Hannibal Lecter and all parts overprotective.

 

One can only assume the Subway commercial that portrays Tuck unsuccessfully trying to eat a five-dollar footlong while wearing his helmet is already in pre-production. (Michael Phelps will have a similar problem eating his meatball sub underwater. Cut to Jared from Subway, sitting under an umbrella, noshing happily.)

 

How will Tuck's helmet protection continue to evolve? Piranhas under his facemask? One of those dog collar fences for anyone who gets too close? Each bar comes equipped with a mini-guillotine? By 2015, Tuck will be playing defensive end from the Popemobile.
