Nebraska Away/Road Uniforms - What is your preference?

[Kiyoat Husker]

I have been saying for years we need to demand Wisconsin primarily use the red version of their helmet with the white W. Personally I think it looks way better.

Yeah but then they wouldn't look EXACTLY like us so they can steal our mojo.

Don't like the all-whites. Or the all-reds either. They remind me of little boy pajamas. Also, anyone who picks all whites for a football uniform has never had to try to get them clean. As for shoes, in my happy imaginary world, offense would wear white shoes. They look fast. But defense would wear black. Makes them look solid, tougher, imo.

Black shoes for the Blackshirts. Works for me! In fact this is kind of brilliant.

 

Get Ryan Gunderson on the line!

As long as they win they can wear peacoats, thongs, pantyhose, and penny loafers.

[Hoosker]

Red pants because literally every team in college football can wear all whites if they want.

[Landlord]

 

Prefer white top, red pants.

 

The all whites do look good in the afternoon sun, but white/red looks better for night games

See, I think it's the opposite. I like the white/red look in the afternoon, while the all-whites look great at night, as I think they reflect against the stadium lights better.

 

 

 

I disagree with both of you!

 

 

I think our uniforms just period look way better in daylight than they do under the lights. I've never been crazy about the way our uniforms look at night, but they're the best look in all cfb during the afternoon sun imo (especially the white uniforms).

This is one of the times I will ask you NOT to post a picture

Hate the traditional ones

Of course you do...

NOT ENUFF CHROAM!

Trying to find our "modern" record in all whites. Found this by Mav plus adding the last couple seasons:

 

1990 Citrus Bowl, all-white vs Georgia Tech. 45-21 GT 0-1

1992 Nebraska decides to wear all-white on the road. Loses to Washington 29-14 0-2

1992 vs Missouri, all-white in a 34-24 win. 434 yards passing by a 3-8 Mizzou team. 1-2

1992 Probably the best example of the all-white hex, 19-10 loss to 4-7 Iowa St. 1-3

2002 All-white road uni's...lost to Iowa State 36-14 1-4

2002 all-white, 1st loss to Oklahoma State in over 40 years. 1-5

2002 2nd biggest comeback in school history over Texas A&M. 2-5

2002 all-whites, K-State bludgeons the Huskers 49-13. 2-6

2002 Independence Bowl vs Eli Manning & Ole Miss. 27-23 loss. 2-7

2007 Nebraska goes all-white in Bill Callahan's last game 65-51 Colorado win. 2-8

 

These are (I think) the only games since 2007 in white???

2014 Fresno in the heat. NU wins 55-19 3-8

2014 Northwestern against their all black alternates. 38-17 Huskers 4-8

2014 Wisconsin. 408. 4-9

2014 USC in the Holiday Bowl shootout. 45-42 Trojans 4-10

2015 Miami comeback falls short. 36-33 Canes 4-11

 

There's a reason they're called "surrender whites." They look fine when we win I guess, but c'mon: 4-11? The whites look ok, but I'm not a fan of the two red stripes down the leg- that part doesn't "look" like Nebraska to me.

 

All that said, winning makes any uniform stylish.

People used to recognize us by the unmistakable beating we put on our opponents.

Yeah. I wish we'd ditch the pants stripes.

 

Give me the 2001 uniforms, but change the socks and cleats to white.

 

Then have a black alternate uniform for one game a year with no change to the helmet or pants.

 

But I dream..

[Bowfin]

Nope, stick the white jerseys and red pants and don't change them...ever.

 

A uniform is a uniform to be worn all year, every year. Once one starts changing uniforms on a whim, then they are no longer uniforms, they are costumes... .

 

...and when the heck did we start making helmets out of plastic instead of good ol' leather, for Pete's sake?

[Bowfin]

Hate the traditional ones.

 

When one has that distinctive look perfected:

 

 

There's nowhere to go but down:

I agree with you. Their red helmet looks much better with that big W than it does with the white helmet...both their home & away uniforms.

Are the new alternates coming out vs illinois?
