broganreynik Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So do all of the defensive players wear them or just players who have earned Blackshirts? I was wondering the same thing, hopefully its just the blackshirts It will be for all defensive players. The jerseys mean a hell of a lot more than a pair of gloves that after this season you and I could drop 30-40 bucks and wear them too. Kinda kills the whole starter only thing when Husker Jen is flashing his...err....I mean her hands in the crowd. ??? Because someone couldn't wear a black jersey? I'm not saying you're wrong about the whole defense wearing them, but that logic makes no sense. I think it'd be weird to have people who aren't Blackshirts wearing them though. Quote Link to comment

This isn't a tradition like the Blackshirts, though. These are just gloves, like gloves that every player wears (if they want to, some don't). Every member of the defense will be issued a pair of these gloves, regardless of their Blackshirt status. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I could care less what color they are or if they have a pic on them...I don't really pay close attention to a players hands when watching football. I do like the looks of them though. Quote Link to comment
Whistlebritches Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 they would be alot cooler if they werent copying nike and came up with the idea first. i like the bones on the sleeves idea better, personally If your going to mention anything about Nike, I would be saying "atleast they didn't screw up the whole uniform like Nike did". I agree with you but some people really like what Nike is doing with uniforms. They guy that sits beside me at work is an Oklahoma State fan that's super excited to be the Oregon of the midwest. I'd like the gloves better if everyone wasn't doing it but the players really like them so... Quote Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i think they look prrreetty bad.... they look like some leather dominatrix type material type sh#t....... just looks cheesy Quote Link to comment
MattDoza Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i think they look prrreetty bad.... they look like some leather dominatrix type material type sh#t....... just looks cheesy The palm of most football gloves use that material, or a similar grip material. -- I don't like the idea of our Blackshirts throwing up their hands to show the cross bones. We throw the bones. Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying they shouldn't get the gloves, but just have the N logo ones. Letting every defensive player wear gloves with BLACKSHIRTS on it, is disrespecting the exclusivity and effort it takes to become a BLACKSHIRT. Quote Link to comment

Make it a Blackshirt/Blackshirt gloves package deal. Quote Link to comment

Letting every defensive player wear gloves with BLACKSHIRTS on it, is disrespecting the exclusivity and effort it takes to become a BLACKSHIRT. I think there's a misconception here. This is a Blackshirt: This is a symbol licensed to market the Blackshirts: They are not the same thing. Any idiot with some money can purchase that symbol, and it doesn't make them a Blackshirt. You have to earn that plain, nondescript black jersey that the actual factual Blackshirts wear. Even if you go buy a knockoff version of that practice jersey, or if you find a former Blackshirt willing to sell his old jersey to you, you're not a Blackshirt. So I don't think there's any conflict with having that symbol on the gloves. It's just a marketing promotion, not the real deal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Roark Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Does not like... Cheap and trashy looking. I'm all for new glove innovations, but that doesn't mean they have to be over-the-top flashy and obnoxious... Although, it seems as if a lot of kids are into that sort of thing these days- maybe it'll help recruiting. 1 Quote Link to comment
