His baseball team's colors are red and white (with some black trim). The past couple of years, the reds in the different parts of the uniform haven't matched. Their red jersey was more of a crimson, while the hats and socks were more of a scarlet color. I was annoyed with that color consistency. It shouldn't be hard to get matching shades of red. Wasn't there a few games back during the Pelini era where the stripes on the jerseys were actually cream and not white? Didn't that drive everyone crazy? Quote Link to comment

I've seen this before as well. I think it may have to do with getting the apparel from different distributors 1 Quote Link to comment

NU's helmets used to be more of a cream color, until the early 2000's, when they shifted to more of a "bright white". I think Pederson made that shift. I liked the old, cream helmet shells.

I think you might be right, although I can't tell if its an actual color shift, or quality of the pictures. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm all for wearing red and the student section always having black out since way easier for them to coordinate Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 So this thread has turned into a far better discussion than I ever intended with that mostly tongue-in-cheek of an OP. This is why I hang out here - you guys are always interesting to talk to and bring up angles that I didn't think of. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's not very shocking to see the b******* fail when it's being done by a bunch of pasty Nebraskans. Quote Link to comment

I am ok with it, because their school colors are scarlet and gray. But, their uniforms should be illegal, because the numbers are dark gray, against a light gray jersey. Quote Link to comment

Seems like they contrast enough to me. But I don't really care what teams wear for uniforms Quote Link to comment

I don't think there is enough of a contrast, especially when opposing teams are trying to get quick look at numbers when dealing with substitutions. Quote Link to comment

If it's the second one, should be okay. Quote Link to comment
