If that style was designed for Michigan's throwbacks, then why did they incorporate that design in our uniforms? Expect to see UCLA and Tennessee to pop out with similar unis by next year. Despite the complete lack of creativity, the all red/black scheme is too much. Why does everyone love our uniforms so much? Because the contrast in color between the scarlet and cream is fantastic. It's two-toned and simple. Red and black?!? There is zero color contrast. It looks gaudy on the video and may look even worse on the field. I realize I am kind of going off about the uniforms, which Is silly, but I'm almost embarrassed because outside of Nebraska and Wisconsin's fan bases, everyone is laughing at what we came up with and It's going to be worse on national television.
With that said, I don't want Nike for the swoosh on the gear or for pro combats. But from a performance standpoint, Nike, and I would even argue Under Armour in specific areas, are miles above adidas, reebok etc. Nebraska has always held itself to the highest standard in collegiate athletics. It's evident by the trophies, fan base expectations, and the millions of dollars we are pumping into state of the art facilities. So why should we settle for second rate gear? What we wear is really not Important at all in the grand scheme of things, but I just do not understand why everyone defends Adidas so vigorously.
