Red Five Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I've stated this before, but the white top/red pants is our best looking uniform combination. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 One thing i do wish is that they said Nebraska across the front or Huskers... I wouldn't mind, but not "Huskers". Nebraska is the CORNHUSKERS!! I hate how it's become Huskers in common use. It's not the Nebraska Huskers, it's the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Says the guy posting on HuskerBoard, rather than CornhuskerBoard. LOL. See that's my point. It's ok to use "Huskers" on it's own, or in combination of another word (Husker Power!!). However, if the team nickname is put with Nebraska, it should be the CORNHUSKERS. As in, "Here we are in Champaign, IL today to see the Nebraska Cornhuskers take on the Illinois Fighting Illinis (not sure if they still use fighting) in a Big Ten battle." Quote Link to comment

QMany Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I prefer the traditional away uniforms, but I enjoy when they do the all-whites on occasion (maybe once per year). Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 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 0-11992 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 1-42002 all-white, 1st loss to Oklahoma State in over 40 years. 1-52002 2nd biggest comeback in school history over Texas A&M. 2-52002 all-whites, K-State bludgeons the Huskers 49-13. 2-62002 Independence Bowl vs Eli Manning & Ole Miss. 27-23 loss. 2-72007 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 1 Quote Link to comment

But it still seems odd that NU didn't wear all-whites under Pelini until last year's Fresno game. I could have sworn they wore all-whites a time or two before then. But, I am also getting old.

zoogs Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I like the way the all-whites look, but it depends on the team we play. I do think traditional should be the standard. I think I'd like to see some all whites with one shoulder stripe and no pant stripe. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Idc as long as we wear white shoes. Black shoes make us look slow. And remind me of Penn state Quote Link to comment
