Nebraska Alternative (aka Sacrilegious) Uniform Slamma Ramma Extravaganza 2012

[Lyons in the Sea of Red.]

I'm impressed that they had enough bravery to go with the black helmet. Think they could have done something edgy and fresh instead of an old school look, it would have been really awesome.

 

I do think the socks are awesome though.

Mehhhhhhh @ the all-red design. Mehhh @ the N on the front too.

 

If that in fact is the design, it's fine. Just not spectacular.

Just be thankful we didn't retro back to the Pippi Longstocking arm sleeves from the 1902 uni.

Haha my gf just walked in...

 

"Those are the alternate uniforms? I don't like 'em. I don't like the all-red. That N looks weird. Hm."

 

Glad to see we're sort of on the same page lol

 

Agreed. All red = Power Ranger

Looks like the video has already been taken down.

Rex Burkhead loves the new uniforms. Wishes NU could wear them more than once. "Really cool." #huskers

This is going to upset the old athletic dept. The video was removed. I am assuming someone is getting fired

Haha, the cat is out of the bag now, might as well put that thing back up

hhmmmm weird went back to get a link to the video on youtube to email it to my uncle. The user i'm assuming Addidas who posted it has pulled it off of youtube now. So I bet this wasn't suppose to of been released yet lol.

I guess I wasn't too far off with this:

 

 

Like I predicted too, only minor differences between this and what that video shows. Not bad. Don't think I am some crystal ball forecaster type though.

 

I suppose if this is the real deal (which it seems) then we should be on the lookout for a Wisconsin one, that looks fairly similar albeit an away version, to be released in the near future, if it hasn't been already.

eh I highly doubt it. Barry Alvarez is pretty resistant to that sort of treatment and is pretty adamant about not changing up our look. It took a long while until UW players were allowed to even wear gloves with the motion W on them for example. We subtly altered our Rose Bowl uniforms last year by using a sublimated rose pattern in our numbers and helmet decal, but that's about as far as he'd like to go. It's not impossible, but i just don't think it'll happen.

 

Makes sense. Just throwing this out there though, people said it wouldnt happen at Nebraska and Wisconsin has already bent a bit in that direction as well. Also, the source that tipped us to the look that I created my concept image from and now realized in the vids also said the Badgers would have a version for themselves for this game. so for what it's worth...

Kinda silly to pull the video when screenshots exist. Oh well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also - to those hating the alternate uniform, this is a great lesson in "Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it." Lots of clamor for an alt/uni over the years. Now that we have one.... it looks like this.

Here is a link to the video on Photobucket:

I like the socks and the cleats.

 

Edit:

 

Can somebody get us a screen shot of those?

Also, does anyone know if that's a real song in the video? Kinda catchy. Made me wanna slap some people or key some cars.
