PrintWe tried this before, but it was right after the "Nebraska Joins the Big Ten" announcement, and we (I?) seem to be more concerned about sticking it to Texas than we did thinking about it actually being our final year in the Big 12.
I've also had several requests from Big Ten fans, asking for a t-shirt they can get can wear to support Nebraska in our last Big 12 season.
I'd prefer the t-shirt ideas were slanted toward staying classy rather than taking shots. Put it this way - Nebraska has being playing some of our old Big Eight (Missouri Valley) counterparts since your great grandfather was around. That deserves something more than being snarky.
So.... gear up your creativity and come up with some t-shirts. We cannot (the t-shirt guys won't do it anyway, so don't bother) put anything that's copyrighted on a t-shirt, so logos are straight out, things like "Red Out" don't work as a slogan. You get the idea.
To add incentive, I'm going to give away some free copies of Cornhusker Kickoff 2010, our Nebraska football yearbook (even though I'm pretty sure you all bought a copy already, right??? Right????)
If you happen to be a Big Ten fan and make a good suggestion, be sure to note your school affiliation, and maybe we'll come up with something else that's more fitting than a Nebraska football yearbook (unless that works for you - hey, you guys gotta learn more about us as well!).
Please make your posts over the weekend - we'll try to run this until early next week, and if we get enough, we'll have a poll to see which are the winners (one for each category, for Husker fans and for Big Ten fans rooting for Nebraska this season).

Wait, no Snarky? C'mon
So long granola’s,
It’s been fun domination.
Hello rust belt,
Here comes Corn Nation!
okay
some snarky.
put it this way – while it’d be good for traffic, maybe nothing that would cause said t-shirt wearer to become the focus of a riot or being torn apart by angry Kansas State fans.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

Wow
Coming up with something creative AND non-snarky was harder than I thought. How about:

T-Shirt Idea
Thought about this the other day actually. Get a retro (faded) shirt with a photo of Memorial Stadium on the front (stands filled of course) or just the Huskers Logo and on the back “Big 12 Farewell Tour” at the top and below that put the dates and cities…not the opposing teams, so it looks like a concert t-shirt.
Big 12 Farewell Tour
4 Sep 10 – Lincoln, NE
11 Sep 10 – Lincoln, NE
18 Sep 10 – Seattle, WA
25 Sep 10 – Lincoln, NE
07 Oct 10 – Manhatten, KS
16 Oct 10 – Lincoln, NE
23 Oct 10 – Stillwater, OK
30 Oct 10 – Lincoln, NE
06 Nov 10 – Ames, IA
13 Nov 10 – Lincoln, NE
20 Nov 10 – College Station, TX
26 Nov 10 – Lincoln, NE
04 Dec 10 – Dallas, TX
unfortunately
can’t use photos of Memorial, even those I’ve used in a publication, in merchandising.
Lawyer says no (when do lawyers ever say YES?)

well
Not even a photo you shot yourself? Just go with the “N”
As sentimental as I am for the old Big 8
it’s hard not to be just a little sore about the whole “11-1 votes” thing.
Even better yet
XII – N < TEN + N
Conference symbols will get message across better
I like the idea of the concert back. On the front you could put
Thanks for the Memories
My personal favorite would be
“Nebraska is Back!
And we are here to stay!”
. . . . Bo Pelini, 12/30/09
on the front and
XII – N < TEN + N
on the back
Champs!
2010-BigXII Champions
2011-Big10 Champions
Any questions?

T-Shirt Contest
Greetings Fellow Huskers, this is my first time on a Blog so I’m hoping it all gets posted correctly… My idea for the final Husker 2010 Season T-Shirt is as follows…
On the back of the T-Shirt, a Large “N” Logo fading behind the Big 12 Logo with golden sunset colors, Under the image it reads “Lights Out” On the back we have the same large “N” Logo rising up over the Big 10 logo Under the image it reads “Rise and Shine”
T-Shirt Contest, the Sequel
Ok, one more time… I knew I should have had two cups of coffee before I started this LOL.
On the “back” of the T-Shirt, a Large "N" Logo fading behind the Big 12 Logo with golden sunset colors, under the image it reads "Lights Out" On the “Front” we have the same large "N" Logo rising up over the Big 10 logo, under the image it reads "Rise and Shine"
ok non snarky it is
How about a Red shirt that Simply says Huskers on the front or something like that. The on the back there will be a grandfather and his grandson holding hands walking towards something to do with the big 10 while behind them is something to do with the big 12. The boy will be all excited about the move and the change. While the grandfather will look happy yet a little sad to be leaving something he has known his whole life. This is true because my grandfather has followed the huskers since his childhood and this is bittersweet for him because he was there for the game of the century. While my step brother is only 16 and doesn’t even think ou is a rival.
No Logo's?
Ok, I’m going back to bed… Blog 101, read the rules huh? This creative stuff isn’t easy without graphical representation… Let’s give these a try.
On the back “Corn today, gone tomorrow” on the front “It is September 2011, do you know where your husker is?”
On the back “Relocating September 2011, Signed… Dr. Tom’s moving company. On the front, Welcome to the Big 10, kick up your feet and stay awhile”
On the back “Huskers Road Show, Coming to Big 10 Stadium Near YOU” On the front “We’re Herrrrrre”
BitterSweet
I thinking the front of the shirt has a faded BigXII logo right next to a faded Big10 logo… the reason they are faded is because the word BITTERSWEET literally is printed on it… BITTER obviously printed over the BigXII and SWEET printed over the BIG10… hard to explain but its not being printed above the logos, but on top of so you can just barely see the logo behind the word BITTERSWEET…
Then on the back the you have the whole farewell tour idea… with dates and cities…
t-shirt
I have a couple of shirt ideas. on the back, there’s no N in twelve
or maybe this one; go big red and below that go big teN with the cap N in red.
Here goes,
(on the front) HUSKERS (on the back) The Hurricanes of the Big Ten (supered over image of bar fight)
Big Ten
We need some for Big Ten fans – people from Big Ten teams…. I suppose, something along the lines of
Big Tenners for Nebraska in 2010
that’s kind of cheesy, but you get the idea.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

combine
Johnvigna’s “Bittersweet” on the front and Husker1976 " Gone but not forgotten" Nebraska’s Big 8\12" record of accomplishments on the back.
It will be nice to have that record recorded on the farewell tee shirts since we will be starting fresh next year. Take a little bragging rights to our new home.
There is only one addition I would make to the record: " over 300 sellouts" or something to acknowledge that record.
farewell T-shirt
I would like to see something with a theme like “Big teN it’s not just football” with the N in ten shaped like the husker block N and in red. Surrounding the text could be symbols reminding us of science, law, literature, engineering, philosophy, etc. Nebraska should get a big academic boost from joining, as Penn State (which was a good school to start with) did when they joined. We can put in sports symbols as well. I’m too big to want a “00:00.00≠00:00.01” on there somewhere, but I would not object.

MOVIN ON UP
TO THE EAST SIDE
(All B 10 schools are east of Neb. right)
There is a very fine line between sports fan and mental illness.
Or....

ah
i figured it out – the company I was at was blocking web content.
the design looks good, but i doubt it’ll fly because of copyright.
Nebraska is pretty vicious about protecting merchandising -

Have a farmer walking to a group of people
and below say let he rivalry beging
Corn grows better here.
Red shirt. And below a map of the US with the Big Ten states in white with schools as dots in each state.
Just an idea.
I have a file if you want it Jon.
Grabbed the state image from wikipedia. So that should pass muster on the copyright issue.
Here it is anyways

Seemed like a good t-shirt idea but maybe not.

47 bowl games
5 national titles
3 Heismans (should have been 5 with Frazier and Suh so maybe an * after the 3)
1 year to say good-bye
OR
(confirm prices, not sure if the “priceless” is copyright)
Season Tickets – $500
Hot Dog and Pepsi – $10
One year good-bye tour – Priceless
(this has the benefit you can take it as classy or a slap to the face)
Here is mine.
I didn’t know about the contest, but I would be willing to let corn nation sell these exclusively if you contact me.
If not, you can buy them here, everyone.

T-shirts
On the back, “Thanks for the memories”, with a list of the original Big Eight teams, followed by, and in smaller print, the four schools which made us the Big XII. At the bottom of the back: " BUT…"
On the front: " It’s time to play with the BIG BOYS! " Underneath, a list of the Big Ten teams.
A fond farewell to the Big XII, with a salute to our new friends. You like?
