Saunders Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 edit: damn saunders beat me to it You slow bruh. was busy posting to reddit first for dat sweet link karma once again, these are pretty close to awful. just so unnecessary. the numbers don't need to be made out of tinfoil, every design element doesn't need the cutout pattern, the jersey doesn't need that insane pattern on it. The only thing nice is the helmet, which is a very simple idea. F reddit. That place is a craphole. But yeah, too busy. Remove the slashes, and remove the texture, and they'd be ok.

Saunders Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I wonder what game we'll wear them in? If it's Miami, somebody needs clubbed to death. My guess is home against Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Tire tread design inspired by Melvin Gordon. Am I right? 2 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 This might be their best effort yet. They're not too bad. Not a fan of the numbers however, must be the stencil font coupled with the diagonal slashes- not good. I do like the helmet, texture/tread on the the body of the uni, pants are ok and the colors seem to be ok. Have to see how they look on the field. Would've preferred something involving gray but the black is ok. 2 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My 9-year-old son thinks they are cool, so Adidas is a hit with their target market. 1 Quote Link to comment

I thought it was going to be homecoming again for the game. I also am not liking the pants. I think if they would have gone with just the N or just the stripes it would have been better.

Carson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 July 23, 2015. A day that will live in infamy across the Great Plains. For a month Adidas has had us on the edge of our seat, or hiding in the closet, whatever floats your boat, waiting for Nebraska's new alternate couture. It's always touchy messing with one of the classic designs in college football. You already have a classic like Enter the Dragon, and you're hoping they'll come up with Seven Samurai, but lately Adidas has been producing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Drag Queen.Oscar Wilde told us, “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” Unfortunately for Nebraska, Adidas has embraced this mantra as their company slogan. You don't have to be perfect to be pretty, but imperfection isn't doesn't exactly pay the rent, either. And Adidas has been oh, so imperfect of late.Put down that monkey and get ready, it's reveal time!Let's start at the top with that helmet. Black is classic and classy, but this is the Charles Nelson Reilly of black. It wants to be fierce and bold but the matte finish is so 1972. Did someone brain that player with an ax? Is that why there's a huge bloody streak down the middle?The warmups have a Keystone Kops look to them I just can't get on board with. I can't tell if they're retro ironic or slightly moronic. The N is massive and blood-red. It isn't very Donna Karan.And the jerseys? They look frilly. My mother had a bra with that pattern. It had more lace than the entire West Village. The numbers are prison chic, but not in a bad way. I give them a thumbs up. Overall they're slightly goth, not necessarily in a Robert Smith of the Cure way. More like a Branch Davidian way.The pants. Oh, the pants. I used to have pants like that. But I also used to be named Louise and lived in Germany. The more I look at them the happier I feel. They're sharp and bold and tough and slightly menacing. They're the Viggo Mortenson of pants. Hopefully the pinstripes make the boys faster so they can outrun those eager cheerleaders, the vixens.And then the footwear. Somewhere in Trenton there's a hooker looking for her shoes. They scream Peggy Sue Went Bowling. White shoes with black pants? No wonder they're AdiZEROs. I can't tell if Adidas has bad designers or just bad taste. I'm going to need a Ritalin smoothie to forget these shoes.To sum up, this couture isn't hideous. It's a damned sight better than what Adidas has done to Nebraska in the past. If it inspires the boys to play their best, I'm all for it.“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” You tell 'em, Orson. 8 Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Not a huge fan of that ridiculous tread all over the jerseys, or the gigantic N on the pants. I don't hate them though, so I guess that's a plus. Would still love to see us drop them and go to UA/Nike. 3 Quote Link to comment
