UniversalMartin Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It would actually be kinda cool, if each year Herbie had a different hand gesture. Your welcome Nebraska marketing. Quote Link to comment

Well, on that, I hope everyone can agree it is offensive and we as a fan base need to see it end! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Who tried to cancel UNL? UNL? This was a non issue until UNL made it an issue. Freakin' UNL and its vendetta against UNL!!!! This is all just laughably pathetic at this point 3 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This isn't an example of cancel culture, it's a University making a pro-active, but extremely minor change to a University logo. It was done to avoid a potential issue down the road, and in their effort to make it a non-issue, peoples panties got in a wad over the change in Herbie's hand signal. 8 Quote Link to comment

Was it done to avoid a potential issue or a past issue? Because your explanation contradicts the official explanation, thus making both your assessment invalid and the message from the university is simply virtue signaling a non-issue. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Um…this isn’t cancel culture. This is dealing with a hand gesture that’s been appropriated by white supremacists…no matter how many times people claim “it was a hoax” and make excuses for white supremacists. If you or anyone else are butthurt by this, then maybe instead of making excuses for people engaging in white supremacy because they support “your guy”, you should be pissed off at the white supremacists and should be working to get rid of them and their enablers… 5 1 3 Quote Link to comment

But who's crazier? The ones who think that Herbie is holding up a symbol used by white supremacists (even if may or may not be an internet hoax) or the ones getting all mad about Herbie changing the formation of 3 fingers because the University is bending the knee to the whole mob? That's basically all that's being argued now. I think both parties are crazy at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I ordered a new Nebraska "track jacket" (full zip sweatshirt) and I really liked it because it had Herbie as the logo on the front. Well, I got it shipped tonight and it's has the "new" Herbie giving the #1 hand symbol instead of the "okay" symbol. I am so mad, I'm gonna return it right away!! Oh wait, that's not what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be normal, realize it's a minor change to an otherwise, classic logo, and wear it like I do with all of my other Cornhusker gear. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Your welcome Nebraska marketing. The problem is the last few years it would likely be a middle finger to the fans. Not good for the brand. Quote Link to comment
