I'm biased because I'm into woodworking, but I really did much prefer our old locker room with the wooden lockers. It had a very classy look.
Each locker in the old locker room was
handmade out of
solid maple wood. https://huskers.com/news/2006/08/31/nebraska-football-locker-room
I understand the new ones from a functionality standpoint, and if the current players like them then that's all that matters. With the amount of money the university is getting now from the Big Ten, maybe someday when they decide to to update the locker room again they can go back to classy maple lockers.
