hosker Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 well, if we do wear the 1962 throwbacks, black will be part of the uni. as we had black numbers on the helmets.... so really, its a win win(for me) now, does anyone have a link to email the athletic department? Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Banning the word from Huskerboard still doesn't deter many from discussing the topic. Lots of mouthbreathers out there... As for the throwback uni's, I think that'd be a great nod to the tradition of when the sell out streak began. I am sure a bunch of us fans would probably buy one too. Quote Link to comment

HuskerJen Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 As for top of wearing blackhirts.... STOP I am gonna hurl if we have to have that conversation AGAIN. and you're not even part of the fan base. that's bad. What's even worse is that I completely agree with Jayhawk on this... This topic is more of a dead horse than bringing up how terrible the former coach was and yet we continue to... Quote Link to comment
husker3434 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I want the 80's half Jersey's!!! Dont like the 70's much Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Instead of a b1ackout or a throwback day . . . how about we do a good ol' fashioned red out? Like they used to do when they'd even have a sponsor hand out t-shirts at the gate so everyone except the visitors is wearing red? I remember the posters from previous red outs. It looks amazing. (I even remember seeing a red out at Memorial Stadium East . . . AKA Notre Dame Stadium.) Quote Link to comment

HUSKER 37 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 no black belongs in or around that field. ... Yeah!

Apathy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Finally someone agrees with me on this! I bring up these throw backs in just about every uni thread that pops up. I do prefer this style with the two vertical stripes, but those are pretty close, and they would tie into the 300th sell out as well. I would guess if they went all out, they would have them wear the white helmets with the numbers on them. Which are o.k. but I personally hope to see the Huskers take the field in these again some day. I think this is a really good idea! And if we all bombarded the Athletic Department, and even the equipment managers with e-mails, we might be able to make this happen. What do you think? I also found an article about this subject from back in September. It might be worth a read. I really like those jerseys a lot and I would love to see our team come out with those jersey's in the future. I can't find a history of our Jerseys anywhere on the internet. I've seen somewhere (I think in a Husker book) on how many times we've changed the style of our jerseys and it show the jerseys in the 60's, 70's, the 83', the 95' and the 01' jerseys and I'm not having much luck.

huskertim Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I love those 70's jerseys with the 2 verticals and sholder stripes but the 62 jerseys are the only ones that would make sense for this omage. I have to wonder what the cost would be, but it seems the AD could easily recoup with added jersey sells at the book store etc.. Plus the actual game jerseys would probably fetch a pretty penny.

kansas husker Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 this is a great idea and i love both of the jersey styles. as well as the "nu" on the helmets Quote Link to comment

The athletic department team is working hard to make this day spectacular. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks. Marc " i mentioned the "red-out" idea to him too. Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Throwbacks or a RedOut. The only two choices. The B****O** thing needs to die. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
