I was lookin at retro Herbie gear the other week... think it's time for a new shirt..

[krc1995]

OH YEAH!!!

 

It killed me when Peddy beefed up Herbie. This is the Herbie I grew up knowing and loving.

I just got a new license plate frame w/ Herbie on it. Love it. Im terribly picky about my Cornhusker apparel. I don't like the Logo with the stylized "Huskers" across it, I only like the N. I like old Herbie, cant stand li'l red. I don't even like saying "Huskers" and usually type and say Cornhuskers.

Welcome back 90's Herbie!

I had to get me a new shirt with the Old Herbie on it. I'm glad he's back.

I love the retro Herbie logo! I still have a hat (from when it wasn't "retro") but have been looking for a shirt with the ol' logo. I guess they must be popular b/c everytime I come across one I want, its only available in S or XL+

 

It killed me when Peddy beefed up Herbie. This is the Herbie I grew up knowing and loving.

 

If we're talking about the outfits and not the actual logo:

1990s Herbie looked MUCH better with the "94" or "95" football uni on but this was the only picture I could find. I always think of this one celebrating with Dwayne Harris after the safety in the '94 Orange Bowl. And for the record, he was pretty "beefed up", too.

 

Then they ($Bill Byrne?) replaced it with this.

If you are going to keep the same concept, why change it at all? He lost the beefed up arms and looked like a lypo-suction Herbie-- he lost weight but still had his fat clothes. Not to mention the expression went from I'm-going-to-kick-your-ass-and-enjoy-it to a clown. Which oddly enough fits what happened to the team in 2002 but that's another story.

 

I would love the '90s Herbie but if you don't like the current dark-haried outfit, keep in mind we still have this guy in the stands:

I hope we bring back the old Herbie. As a kid thats how

I knew Nebraska. I remember being 5 and my first Husker

Memory was a clock with Herbie we had in the den where we

all had lunch and watched the games.

Now I want them to bring back HArry Husker too.....

Good to see this because I hated the modern Herbie. He didn't look like a farmer, he looked like a lumberjack.
