I'd rather the basics of the uniform not change. I know they have changed through the years, but other than 2002, they really are basically the same since 1975, maybe even 1970. But it's inevitable, so I've given up the fight. I just wish they were a bit closer to the standard uniforms, like maybe have the 2002 style be the one game alternate. But enough people get a woodie over having black, so I'm not surprised to see it.
There uniforms, though, are hideous. Hopefully the color is off in the pictures and they will actually be red (scarlet) and not whatever red-orange tint this is. They look like giant tomatoes. I don't even like the red N on the black helmet, maybe it's work with a white outline. I showed it to my son who is in college (not NU) and he thought they are really ugly too so it's not just my generation. But from the poll in the other thread, more like it than not, so I guess we're in the minority.
I hear the players like it too, and that means something. But not everything. I'm sure we could get a few recruits we wouldn't otherwise get if we played rap music before the game and between plays, so should we do that too?
