Nebraska's Style Hasn't Changed, Thankfully

I understand that much of this is corporate bs, but there is something awesome about watching a new uniform unveiling. Granted, there’s not too much to what we have going on, but even just seeing how excited the players are to have their real gameday uniform gets you pumped for the season. I think that one of the reasons we love the jerseys is because they are literally as much a part of the atmosphere and game as the plays. What would a Notre Dame game be without those gold helmets? Or how about the U without the green and orange U? Even Texas, and I hate burnt orange, looks the part in their white helmets and orange longhorn. Yeah, it’s kind of getting out of hand in Oregon, but I think the players really enjoy it.

I can’t honestly say I really would care if they trick up the “N” on the helmet. And yes, I know that could possible get me killed when I get back to Nebraska.

I dunno if I really blame the corporations on any of this. Its the schools themselves that gladly accept the cash, the companies are just there to advertise.

But I would like to see the all Red once in a while. Maybe vs Iowa on clack Friday!

EVER. The rest of our uniforms are pretty close to perfection, but do not screw with the helmet above all else.

DEAR GOD those Maryland unis are fugly. I bag on Oregon all the time for their craziness but at least they seem to make a good faith effort to make theirs sort of attractive or something. Maryland just got like 8 different colors on their jerseys and pants and are mixing and matching without regard to how it looks. I’m betting those abominations last one year.

as much as having an incredibly magnanimous alumnus. It’s not just athletic apparel, we also have a brand new arena (Matthew Knight Arena), student-athlete academic center (Jaqua Center), new dorms, new science complex, new architecture school building, new business complex, a modern law school facility, and a litany of goodies as a result of Uncle Phil’s largesse. And I don’t mean this to sound like a snarky post by any means—it’s often overlooked due to our football “outfits”, and understandably so.

That being said, I dig the new Nebraska unis a lot! The sleeve stripes are nice, and I like the chest patches too. It’s clean, classy, and traditional in a way only Nebraska can be. You certainly have this Duck’s cheering interest for the Big Ten title

I’ll never understand how those tiny jerseys fit on actual human beings. Didn’t several teams around the country have issues last year because players couldn’t breathe in them?

Every year people play attention to what the new uniforms for Oregon are. It’s their identity. They’re not Nebraska or Penn State or Notre Dame who haven’t changed anything on the uniform drastically in the last century. They’re Oregon of the bright neon yellows and greens. Let them have that.

And anyone else who does it? “Copying the Oregon blueprint”.

Now lets play some football!
