huskertim Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I wouldn't fear change, but only an idiot changes his brand when it's having success with the current one. Remind me, how'd that work for "New" coke. For that matter, how many more games did we win with the all white road uni. IMCO, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Quote Link to comment
BuffSurveyor Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Anyone who even thinks about changing the helmets is a sinner and should repent! GBR!!!!!!!1 Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Call it what you want, but old is still old, and old uniforms aren't what makes us Cornhuskers.... Quote Link to comment
huskertim Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Call it what you want, but old is still old, and old uniforms aren't what makes us Cornhuskers.... So... new unis would make us the huskers? Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Nope, but neither would the old ones... Quote Link to comment
CornSyrup Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Small variations are okay with me. Leg stripes may be adjusted from year to year, as long as there are never more than two, and they aren't any wider than the current uniforms ('02 was a joke, except that nobody laughed). Shoulder stripes, player's number or "N", whatever. Doesn't really matter to me. As long as red jerseys are worn with white pants and vice versa. Leave the all-white stuff to Penn State. The all-red uniforms from the OU game in 86... I've seen pictures, and it doesn't work for me. Not a fashion expert, but it just doesn't work. The helmet could, for a game or two, and in conjunction with a throwback jersey, go back to NU. But you have to promise me it will be changed back to the simple, classic N. When I think of great uniforms, I think Alabama. Penn State. Michigan. Oklahoma. But the best uniform has always been Nebraska (well, except in '02). Imagine being at a meeting where they decide to add or remove a stripe. How weird would that be? You know that it's gotta be a meeting of at least a few hours. Somebody's really excited by the prospect of adding a stripe, someone gets totally cheesed that it even gets mentioned... Man, it'd be like this thread. Quote Link to comment
huskertim Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Nope, but neither would the old ones... Then what is the point of change, or do you just wish we could be cool like Oregon? Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The point of change is to try something new.... I'm assuming you still drive the same car that your father, grandfather, and great grandfather owned? Same paint job, interior, everything? Why be so dramatic and compare us to Oregon if we changed something... I never said change the jerseys, just put the new "N" on the helmet... Quote Link to comment

Look, I could care less about uni changes, I just don't want to be the type of program that chases every new fad to attract fan attention. We already have the fans. This isn't some Minor League team that needs to give away helmets with a ticket purchase or hire some leggless guy to pitch. This is NU baby, we are the standard. Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Who said we weren't the standard... changing the "N" on the helmet to reflect the change in the University's logo is hardly fad-chasing... Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Who said we weren't the standard... changing the "N" on the helmet to reflect the change in the University's logo is hardly fad-chasing... There is nothing wrong with the N we got now on our helmets. We've had that N on our helmet since 1970 and 39 years later its still going strong.........which goes back to the saying "If it's not broke don't change it." Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 So we shouldn't have built the additions to the stadium, or the new athletic complex, or the fieldturf... They weren't "broke".... We had the old facilities and turf forever, so why change? Quote Link to comment
jonnyhuska Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Haha easy guys.. I was just talking one game. My post had no intention to change the helmets, just something a little different for "one" game, like the 1969 helmet with N U on the side. Marketing schemes bring interest and revenue to the University, and thats exactly what it would be..marketing. Most of you believe our image shouldn't change, but I must point out that our style has been changing since the beginning. The huskers are who they are on the field, thats what I firmly believe because two years ago I wouldn't call some of the players huskers even though they were indeed wearing the colors.

frazier9495 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Nothing like talking about changing jerseys, helmets, or having a BO to get Husker fans to attack each other. Quote Link to comment
