I agree.  Looks like they have a pair of "whitey tighties"on his head....

Well I kinda liked the helmet but this perspective is kinda hard to get past, and it cracked me up.

The problem I have with the helmet is it could be used for any team that’s been around a long time.

 

It should be related specifically to Nebraska. I’d much rather they go nerdy and have a corn helmet than have a bland helmet they could’ve made for any team.

 

That or do another design with an N on it.

Perfect season to burn this gawd awful design. WTF is wrong with Adidas? Is the goal to get uglier at every attempt?

 

Actually these aren’t terrible or ugly but there is just nothing special or very unique about them. The helmet is kind of growing on me. And I am just not a fan of that number font even though I know why they used it. They do look better than most of the previous attempts.

I don't think think the unis are that bad.  Actually, I think the jersey is kinda badass.  As others have stated, not too enthralled with the helmet.

 

 

I'm ok with the jerseys. The look of the helmet isn't fugly or anything - it just doesn't have anything to do with Nebraska other than Nebraska has played football a long time. Maybe it will look cool from a distance though.

This helmet is from a different era than they spoke of (could've been used as a WWII era replica). Although I'm not sure if it would've looked good.

Here is the actual 1918 football team and I can't really tell what the helmets look like (or even which team is Nebraska and which is Notre Dame):

I guess I should be happy they didn't go with brown pants. This is late 1920s. What I haven't found a photo of is a Nebraska team ever wearing a helmet like the alternate helmet. Maybe they just thought all white would look boring so they added some gray to it.
