Black Jerseys

[cmb23]

Nobody's every going to change their views on this. The more it gets brought up the more the "Traditionalists" are going to bag on new ideas. The more it gets brought up the people who crave something new are going to bag on those who refuse to change. I, personally don't think there is a problem with change...but just my opinion. After all, the field used to be grass...which was slow and had poor footing. Then it was astro-turf...which supposedly caused more knee/ankle injuries and was sure to remove a layer of skin every time you fell on it. Now it's field-turf...which will get little rubber pieces in your eyes and mouth.

 

Oh...and here's a black jersey. Just remove the blackshirt logo and just put a number and that's what it would look like.

What a dumb idea to wear black. It would be like Penn State coming out in purple.

 

 

Makes ZERO sense.

 

If it was some gay color like Purple or Orange i would say the same thing, this is a bad idea, but its not jsut a gay color, it is the most intimidating color. can someone tell me a color that is more intimidating than black? Also if Penn. St. came out in purple they would just be reffered to as the "purple poeple eaters" so of course thats a bad idea

 

It would confuse us. Would we stil yell "Go Big Red!"?

 

Dont we still yell "Go Big Red" when we are away and wearing our white jerseys?

lordi? oh lord.. the opponent would all be knocked on the ground (not from the players, but laughter) whatever it takes to win I guess??

I think the black Jersey idea is a pretty good one. I know the basketball team played a couple of games in all black uni's back in the early 9 0's when NEE was the coach.

Ha! That's a good one. I can already hear the wheels in the mind trying to come up with a rational retort. All that's going to come out is something like "Well it's still a stupid idea".

Oh yeah...and just FYI for all that hate changing anything traditional...the stadium has changed a little over the years too:

 

Before

 

After

Black is one of Georgia's school colors, why would Nebraska wear black? I guess when you start losing you will do anything to look tougher! The red and white looked pretty tough when folks were rolling from the 60's to 00.

I think black for the defense would be ok, WHEN we are number 1 in the pass and rush defense. Then for one game and sold on ebay or something for charity reasons. Just a thought

[Cy the Cyclone]

I think Army needs camo uniforms...now THAT would be cool!

Or to raise money for the BC buyout

[DJR313]

Didn't Pedey try changing up the uniforms a couple of years ago?

 

No. He changed them back after those abominations in 2002.

[ironmike]

Other schools have been adding black uniforms for years. Why would you want to make Nebraska just another copycat?

[NPhusker]

haha now that is a good idea

HAHA now that is a great idea, Army's opponet would have no idea where the army players are cause everyone would just blend in.

[Pasadena Husker]

Isntead of black jerseys, they should wear black GWAR T-shirts, how intimidating would that be.

not very.

[DeathCultArmaggedon]

Usually, I am in favor of a team wearing black because I think it looks awesome.

 

However, Nebraska is Nebraska. Red unis with white pants. Just leave it the way it is.
