I mean. Uh. You're allowed to have an opinion, I guess - but your opinion is wrong. You just said so yourself. The actual official school colors include black. But your opinion is that.... they don't? 1 Quote Link to comment

The 2013 ones were decent but had a lot of elements that were just for the sake of doing something different, they didn't actually have any particular reason for existing. These take the best parts of that, and get rid of all the unnecessary fluff. 1 Quote Link to comment

To me, NU's official colors have always been Scarlet and Cream (which is a technical color of "white") That's the basis of the uniforms for as long as I have been alive. Yes, there are patches which include black trim, and other sports at NU have used black in their uniform schemes. I am a traditionalist, and the NU traditional school colors are Red and White (ie Scarlet and Cream). I will step off the ledge now. 1 Quote Link to comment

30-50 Feral Hogs Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Aside from a couple of tweaks here and there, what's so different or special about this uniform compared to what the Blackshirts wear in practice everyday? Quote Link to comment

This year's isn't nearly as busy as 2013's though. The number font is cleaner and there isn't a charcoal accent from the tire tread. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

As shown above, cream isn't white. Officially and technically UNL's cream color is PANTONE 7401C, or hex #fdf2d9 1 hour ago, BigRedBuster said: So, in other words, the uniforms should only be a solid (school) color, the numbers and absolutely nothing else. There's no such thing as what they should be, but they are what they are and people can evaluate and have opinions accordingly. 2013 was fine but personally as someone that does design work and art professionally, I didn't think they were as good or as sensible. These work better because they're informed better imo. Quote Link to comment

Well....I think the only aspects of a uniform design that actually have a purpose is the color and number. Quote Link to comment
