chamrocck Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 What's next? Little ears of corn stickers on the helmets? I have always hated the all white uni's. Please do not change the helmet (and I say no chance of that happening). I could live with the all red uni's for just this one game and the Red Out. Was it just me or did VA Tech uni's in the opener vs. Boise look hideous? And Oregon...their uni's often look terrible. The white names on the back of a white uniform? What genius thought that wouldn't be horrible to read? That sure looked cheap and lame. Quote Link to comment

ESPY Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Just so everyone is clear, the above helmet image has been available online for over a year. I stumbled on a website that has all kinds of theoretical alternate helmets for different teams and they all had the same style with the black visor on it. I just looked for that site again, but couldn't find it. But check out this site that uses the exact same graphic style. So obviously this didn't come from the athletic department. I doubt Nexus meant it that way, but I just wanted to make sure that nobody thought that there is a chance of seeing the above helmet Saturday. I heard about the all-red uniforms Monday through a friend in the athletic department. I didn't post it on here because I didn't want to get all of the skeptics dumping on me (but I understand because I always roll my eyes when people post inside info based on "sources"). Anyhow, not 100% sure this is the case, but I can say that this is consistent to what I've heard from my friend in the athletic department. My friend also told me last week that Husker Vision wanted to have a special video of NU-UT highlights from the Big 12 title game last year set to this song right before the tunnel walk. But he told me this week that TO nixed that idea. Too confrontational I guess, but I think it would've been sweet. I noticed that Unsportsmanlike Conduct on 1620AM opened yesterday's show with this song, so maybe they heard that this idea was nixed as well. Or maybe it was just an amazing coincidence. No such thing as a coincidence on that show. You just know they were eating up that sweet idea. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet"N"Cream Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Wonder what our uni's would look like if we were still the Bugeaters? Quote Link to comment
Vuren Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Wonder what our uni's would look like if we were still the Bugeaters? dead sexy. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 The guy with the red uniform concept image did get one thing right, though. Scarlet and Cream look damn fine together, it's a shame we don't actually use those colors anymore. Quote Link to comment

Even worse is that hardly anyone sells scarlet and cream Husker stuff anymore, including NE Bookstore. It's frustrating if you like traditional, vintage stuff like I do. Quote Link to comment

BaytownHusker Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I dont get what or why everyone gets all hyped up or mad about uniform tweaks.. Everyone says tradition!!!! Well dont our Helmets and Jerseys look alot different from when NEBRASKA started playing ball.. And just how many times have they changed over the years.. Now I am not saying we completly change the look or do any thing major, but an ALT jersey here and there doesnt make or break the tradition of the Program.. Its the way our Coachs and players go out there and perform.... Quote Link to comment

307husker Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 No, not enough said. It's not even a reason, just a statement. So if they changed the helmets it would cease to be Nebraska football? Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 No, not enough said. It's not even a reason, just a statement. So if they changed the helmets it would cease to be Nebraska football? perhaps. do you really wanna go down that rabbit hole just to have some "hip" or whatever helmets? Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I am not saying take the N or stripe off the helmet or any thing.. I am just saying change in the uniform does not make us lose.. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I am just saying change in the uniform does not make us lose.. We would lose part of our identity, though. Quote Link to comment
