New Gloves

[The Maudfather]

I like the change. I always hated seeing the plain old grey gloves.

[HuskerElse]

I don't think there is any misconception whether you like It or not this will have some effect on the nostalgia of getting a blackshirt when the 3rd string safety has the gloves and a false sense of entitlement

 

Clearly you do have a misconception. Every defender is issued gloves right now, and has been issued gloves for decades. Whether they choose to wear them or not is their option. Those gloves have nothing to do with whether that player is a Blackshirt or not. They're just gloves.

 

These are gloves. Not Blackshirts. The fact that they have a marketing symbol on them doesn't mean the n00bs are Blackshirts any more than the fact that they have an Adidas logo on them makes them Adidas employees.

Gloves have been around for decades?! Wow I thought they just came out. I like the gloves, im just saying the blackshirts should get the blackshirt ones and everyone else the N ones. It just seems a little off that the blackshirts finally get to be represented with on the field apparel and every defender gets to wear them

[broganreynik]

Well if they haven't earned the right to be a Blackshirt, then they shouldn't be called Blackshirts!

 

Abso-smurfly.

 

So... they shouldn't be called Blackshirts, but they should be able to be branded Blackshirts? Your crap about logos is ridiculous. There are N logos everywhere, the skinny N logos everywhere, but when you wear it on the field, you're a Husker. It's about ON THE FIELD. All the players are Huskers, not all of them are Blackshirts.

 

Anyone can buy a star pin. But if a private puts four star pins on his lapel it's disrespecting the history of the Army and/or generals.

 

All Blackshirts are Huskers, not all Huskers are Blackshirts. All Blackshirts are Husker defenders (aside from the occasional punter/kicker), but not all Husker defenders are Blackshirts.

 

Anyone can wear the logo off the field, but if the logo THAT REPRESENTS THE BLACKSHIRTS is now going to be on the field, I would think you should have to earn it. Why say "Hey, you're not a Blackshirt, but we'll let you be marked as such." I was just asking to begin with, and then explaining my view. I'm not saying that it's going to be one way or the other. If it is the whole defense though, I feel it cheapens the honor of being/earning a Blackshirt.

 

 

OH, and just because you think differently than someone else, doesn't mean you have to attack their intelligence. I know what a damn Blackshirt is, and I know what a logo is. Not everyone besides you is stupid. I'd like to think I'm the antithesis of stupid.

Those are sweet. Remind me of Bama's gloves. When I saw it I just thought of Ingram putting his hands together and making that A. They are going to be sweet to see in action.

I didn't call anyone stupid, or attack anyone's intelligence. Calm down.

 

Again, the logo that you're talking about is a marketing tool. It represents the Blackshirts on merchandise, not on the field. On the field, the ONLY thing that represents the Blackshirts are the actual factual black jerseys in the pic I posted.

 

But to show you that your premise is incorrect, you're saying that these are Huskers because they wear the N on the field:

 

 

And that anyone wearing the N on the field is a Husker. To directly quote you, "...when you wear it on the field, you're a Husker. It's about ON THE FIELD."

 

By that logic, these are also Huskers:

 

 

These girls are "on the field," and they are wearing the N. But of course they're not Huskers, they're cheerleaders. Nobody thinks that because they are wearing an N tattoo (which the University sells licensing rights to, by the way), that they suddenly become Huskers.

 

There is a huge difference between what the actual tradition is and what the University markets to make money.

Oh for God's sake. On the field of play. DURING THE DAMN GAME. You're not that dumb, you're just twisting words around to try to prove your opinion. Just like every other time, nobody else can be right.

 

And if "On the field, the ONLY thing that represents the Blackshirts are the actual factual black jerseys in the pic I posted." is your argument, that's debunked. Did you see Dejon Gomes playing against Texas in a black jersey? How about Jared Crick against Missouri?

 

Are you just playing stupid to get a rise? You do seem to take on an antagonistic tone quite frequently with other posters that have differing views than you.

 

And by saying I don't know what a Blackshirt is or what a logo is, that's pretty much saying I'm stupid.

Brogan, you are reading way too much into this conversation. Why would I insinuate that you were stupid? That doesn't make any sense, man. I just got done doing a completely voluntary hot chick draft with you. Why would I include you in that if I thought poorly of you? Let's drop this animosity - I have none toward you, and this is nothing to get personal about. Cool?

Technically those are HUSKER cheerleaders so in trying to prove a point you proved Brogans point. Just because they aren't football players doesn't mean they aren't huskers

So if we put the Blackshirt gloves on them, would that make them Blackshirts?

I DOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLLLLLLLLLING ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't either. They're just gloves.

No it wouldn't no one is saying that giving all defenders the gloves makes them all blackshirts we're saying that it cheapens the tradition by letting all the defenders represent the blackshirts with the gloves ON THE FIELD without earning a real blackshirt. If you can't or don't want to see our opinion and actually stop and think about it instead of wanting to argue

I would offer you the same advice. Don't just argue your point, but actually read what I'm saying. The players you're talking about will not think they are Blackshirts because of these gloves. They know what a Blackshirt is, and they know whether they've earned one or not.

 

As I've said several times, the logo on these gloves is a marketing tool, not an actual Blackshirt. Putting this logo on these gloves doesn't cheapen the tradition of the Blackshirts any more than putting it on a kite does.

But the players don't wear blackshirts during games.......
