It’s important to the players and that’s all that matters. It amazes me that alternate unis always creates such an uproar with this fanbase. It’s fun and cool to do something different for at least 1 home game per year. I’m old but apparently not as old and stuck in my ways as anybody opposing this. Support the team, not just your idea of the team. If you’re going to the game and dont like it, tough, STFU and wear black or sell your ticket and stay at home.
Being an iconic brand/look hasn’t done jack for Nebraska, not for at least 25 years anyway. Get with the times and quit being a stick in the mud. I do like this year’s version of alternates and maybe, if the fans embraced it more, the future options will get better than what has historically been weak/poor alternates options. Maybe one day I’ll get my dream of uniforms that look like actual green cornstalks with bright yellow ears of corn on the helmet.
