Hercules Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 If we wear black on gameday, then our colors are technically the same as Texas Tech's. 'Nuff said. oh no. right now we have the same colors as wisconsin, ncst., eastern washington, maryland, louisville, rutgers, utah, indiana, cornell, illinois st., fresno st., and so on and so forth. 'nuff said. Yeah. But seriously... TEXAS. TECH. Quote Link to comment

sdhusker82 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The all-red I couldn't imagine liking too much, but from a branding point of view, the academic "N" is much better for the university's recognition (especially on television; it stands out) than the simplistic practice-squad N. The academic looking N is already the brand of all other aspects of the university. It makes perfect sense, but again, it is a matter of taste and tradition. Personally, I prefer the simple N, but I don't think the new one - if it is indeed the new one - is bad at all either. That's actually not the academic "N". That is the athletic department "N". Nebraska is one of the few universities that's used 2 different fonts to brand itself. Argument aside, you make a valid point about Nebraska deciding to use this new look helmet for the sake of consistent branding, and with the move to the Big Ten, it makes sense to do this change of branding starting now. I'm going to go against the grain on this one. I think the new helmets look awesome. And like some have already mentioned, it is the official "N" of the university. Actually this is the official "N" of the university... Notice the academic "N" (white) is inside of/on top of the athletic "N" The new N looks exactly like what wiconsin or Minnesota or purpue have in the big 10: a great big ol sticker slapped on the side of the helmet. I think it looks overdone. Pleeeeease keep the small sticker Personally, I couldn't agree more, especially when you compare this new look to Wisconsin's helmets (eeeesh). I love the helmet as is. Even though the change makes sense for branding and advertising purposes for the university, I think you gotta stick with tradition on this one. That N looks sweet... it would look even sweeter on some black helmets Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 '86? We lost. (One of four years in a row we lost to OU so you can't really blame the uniforms, but that's what I remember bout the game and what I'll always associate with the all-reds.) Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 i have confirmation from someone in the athletic department that we are going all red uniforms. not sure about the new helmet tho.. Oh really, who is your source? I can verify this with my source that says this is BS. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 We need to treat this game as if it was any other. Doing anything out of ordinary will be distraction to our team. So I say NO to the all REDS and NO to new helmets. Theirs absolutely no way Bo would approve doing this a for a game like this, SDSU maybe. Its not gonna happen.... if it does i'll come on here saturday night, find this post and say i was wrong. Quote Link to comment

But it did say their was "confirmation", so they pretty much set himself for the "source" comment. Prob shouldve of worded it different. Quote Link to comment
cb1954 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If its true I hope it will include white shoes Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 For the record we are 2-10 all-time wearing matching jerseys and pants. That does include a really memorable comeback win at TAMU, but other than that... not so good. EDIT: This doesn't count pre-modern era. Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Quite honestly, I do not want the team to come out monochrome red for Saturday for a few reasons. One, if we lose, I can hear it now "If we'd just worn white pants..." Folks, it's the players in the uniforms, not the uniforms. Secondly, I just don't think monochrome red is a good combo. All white is nice every once in a while, but I don't much like all red. Quote Link to comment
NASA Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I would like to see the all red uniforms its time to end the curse. 1 Quote Link to comment
