huskerscott Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah that is an old Ridell VSR-4 helmet. Most of the team wear the reveloution helmet. Guys, its just an old/nicked up helmet that some equipment manager painted black and thru a visor on. Nothing to see here, moving on. Now, if it was one of those new reveloution helmets, then I would read more into it. Quote Link to comment
Stickney Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It is only a matter of time. (Until Adidas demands/entices/pays to have NU do it). adidas doesn't make the helmets. Umm, do you think Riddel and Schutt are the reason Oregon wears what they do? How about Maryland? No, Nike and Under Armour are driving that bus. Whether it is a black helmet/uni or some other manifestation, an alternate uniform is coming for NU. Adidas has remained conservative in uniform design. But I imagine if they can show the increased $ jersey sales from the ND and Mich variants this year, NU will opt for a special uni or two, tradition be darned. Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Last I knew the last black Husker helmet didn't have the red stripe where this one does. Hmmm looks ok but I'm a fan of the flat black Quote Link to comment
Landomatic Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I think the black helmet is ugly. I like the subtle change on the helmets below. Black face mask. What is this from? I don't remember ever seeing these unis. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 They posted a pic of the infamous Black Helmet today. I dunno, looks to me like it could be a fake. Visible pads look like something from the 80's. Real helmet, just not an accurate representation of what a new one would look like (new style helmet, not paint scheme). Quote Link to comment
La Volpe Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If anything, why not let 'em wear black for the "red/white" game. Let the kids and some fanboys have fun with different uniform looks for a scrimmage. Get it out of their system. 1 Quote Link to comment

Excel Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'll say it....I think most of the "black" unis look awful. That one with Bo in it isn't bad but for the most part...no thanks. Black and Red? Why? Quote Link to comment

I don't remember ever seeing these unis. It's just a really well-done Photoshop. Yes, it is. I made it. Some of my friends asked for the look, I posted it on my Flickr for them, then posted it here during the "black uni hoopla" to give people ideas of looks. Its in the original black uniform thread along with some other versions I made. Some of the players got wind of the looks, liked them and started tweeting them and as usual the "photoshop" part was left out and people started thinking they were real. But alas, they are a creation of my mind and photoshop. Oops, no....wait...I don't know where they came from. Looks real to me. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Black helmet with a white N and facemask would look way better. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thought this thread was about black being introduced as a color? Who said anything about boobies? Some people think about black jerseys, I'll stick with fun pillows. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Sorry guys, had to unapprove a few posts. Just save it for the 'shed. Not because it's so heinous, but want to keep the posts on the main boards in line with the family friendly atmosphere. And, it can get awkward if you're reading at work and a fine...photoshop job like that pops up without warning Thanks! Quote Link to comment
