I saw these pop up a year or so ago. I am a traditionalist and believe that we shouldn't alter our uniforms, but I have to admit that these are not that bad.

Again, not for everybody. And I'm not saying we should totally change what we have. But an alternate uni with modest changes used, at most, once a year, doesn't harm anything. Say what you will about Maryland's unis, they did what was intended, and that was get the school noticed, and quite a few noticed in a positive way, not a negative one.
And for the record, Duke, I don't recall Tom saying we HAD to do this. I didn't get that message at all. Matter of fact, Tom's tone made it sound as though he didn't really want to, but was willing to in deference to Adidas. Meh, reasonable minds are going to differ, in as many different ways as one's clothing style does.

HAHA! Take a chill pill Duke. TO is in charge. He himself said it won't be anything outlandish. I'll take his word on that.In my opinion this is totally unnecessary. WE ARE NEBRASKA!!!!!! We don't need to change or alter our uniforms.
In my opinion we should not have to change our uniforms in order to get the attention of today's student athlete. I don't care if a young high school players is a 5 star recruit. If he chooses his school only because or mostly because a school has "new retro uniforms," then I say pass on the recruit. There are plenty of talented high school recruits out there who still respect places of high tradition like Nebraska who don't need to change their uniforms in order to get a recruit's attention.
I understand why Oregon does it, I understand why many teams do it, but in my opinion Nebraska does not and should not be one of those teams.
Call me old-school, call me outdated, but Nebraska became NEBRASKA by how we performed on the field, how are fan base supports our team and how they treat opposing team's fanbases. We didn't need some uniform gimmick to become one of the most powerful & most respected programs in college football history.
Stay who you are Nebraska....don't go down this road. :bigredn: :throwdabones1:ower
IMO, if they are really good looking and keep our traditional uniform's identity, I would be game for making them permanent.

I know I know.....Sorry guys I probably went a little overboard there. I'll admit I am a traditionalist, and I love how classic our uniforms have always looked (except 2002).HAHA!

I guess I will reserve judgement until we actually see the real design. I am off my soap box now. :boxosoap :rant

Black jersey version of design above.I saw these pop up a year or so ago. I am a traditionalist and believe that we shouldn't alter our uniforms, but I have to admit that these are not that bad.

I'm all for mixing it up, but I think I am in the majority when I say:Please please please
also, the jersey should look like bibbers, complete with a corncob in one of the pockets.
Get that pile of crap out of here.

Osborne has said that he does not want black jerseys and pants from head to toe. So if that theory holds true that doesn't necessarily rule out the black uniform on the left as a possibility.Black jersey version of design above.I saw these pop up a year or so ago.

I am the same way. I am almost 29 and unless it is something that mixes new with traditional in a classic way, then I think a great number of fans will have a hard time appreciating these.

I agree! My favorite Nebraska uniforms of all time were the ones we wore back in 2001.I just hope they have knee-length socks
