B.B. Hemingway Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I can't wait till 2037 when they can do throwbacks-to-the-alternates.... We'll all have to explain too our children what went wrong all those years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 So if we somehow end up playing Michigan in the Conference championship game, i vote to wear the jerseys against them too. You know, to let them know we were the true national champs. 6 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 So.....the best "alternate" uniforms Adidas has given us.......aren't really alternate. Yep. That's really the only complaint I have with Adidas. I like their products that I have personally owned. Their base stuff seems to be good. But they apparently don't have anyone with any creativity. The real alternates they've had for us have been slightly-above-average at best to pretty bad at worst. Apparently they can be handed a design and be told "this is what we want" and have it turn out pretty well. Other than that .... not so much. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sooo... the alternates are pretty cool. Yeah, we had a bit of a thread jack there. Sorry for my contributions. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sooo... the alternates are pretty cool. They are awesome. Pumped for this season, not knowing how we will do adds to the suspense. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 @The Maudfather, add a damned poll to the thread so we can all vote on how much we love/hate these alternate uniforms! This is serious business! Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 They aren't really throwbacks or alternates, but I like them. Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 While I understand Adidas' decision to include the three stripes, I would have preferred they just had "adidas" on the shoulder. That would have helped the cluttered look immensely. The patch and TV numbers are off, but overall it's a cool look and I'm cool with it being my son's first "alternate" jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The undershirts with the stripes are hideous. Hell, most jerseys had the sleeves tucked under so you couldn't even tell there were sleeve stripes (see DL/Manning pic). Couldn't agree more. These '97 style jersey's are the bomb though. So much better than any of the jersey's we've had for like ever. Wish they still wore their old school style uni's personally. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I've moved several posts about Scott Frost from this thread and into the woodshed. That discussion can continue there I suppose as I can see that starting to go south a little. This thread is about the alternate uniforms, not people's opinion on Scott Frost's play from 1997. Back to your regularly scheduled programming! 1 Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Adidas finally got it right. I think Nebraska should make these 97-throwback uniforms along with the 1962-throwback uniforms part of a permanent rotation when we want to do an alternate uniform game. 1997 - Throwback Alternate honorning 97 National Championship team. 1962 - Throwback Alternate honorning the first year the sellout streak began Hopefully in a few years we can add in a 1971 throwback alternate as well.

Same goes for the adidas logo on the pants; lose the stripes, switch to the left hip, and should be red instead of black. It doesn't ruin it for me at all, just minor quibbles. It just seems odd that they'd leave out these details. Quote Link to comment
