2013 alt uniform game

I'm probably going to get some backlash for saying this, but what the heck I'll say it anyway...

We don't need an alternate uniform game. Period. We are Nebraska.

The only thing somewhat decent about last season's alternate uniform game were the helmets. The uniforms on the other hand, in my opinion, were a joke.
It's not a matter of what we "need", it's a matter of what is wanted.

Regardless, what does the statement in red have to do with the statement in black?
Fair point with the "need" vs "want." On a side note, there was no intended meaning behind the statement in black and red. I just used the red text color because it's Nebraska's main color.

Anyway, I do think you hit the nail on the head in this discussion. I will concede that many of today's younger generation "want" these alternate uniform games. My point is I just don't think we as a program, based on our tradition and history need to go to these kind of efforts.

Why are we so much better than everyone else? Oklahoma, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Texas and others have all started doing alternative uniforms.

The thing is, the players love them, and that's all that should matter. It's for them, not for you and I.
I'm fine with having an alternate uniform. I've come around. Last year's was exciting, except a number on the front of jersey would have been perfect IMO. The only thing I do not like are the white cleats. I think black cleats and black socks look a lot better, but that's just a personal preference of mine.

Hey man I haven't seen Texas or Bama ever wear an alt uniform. Was this recent? Or upcoming? Just wondering
Alabama wears Nike Pro Combat uniforms. While they're not alternate uniforms per se, they are they are different from their normal ones. Also, Texas hasn't been relevant for three years, so I don't know why you're using them as an example.

Nebraska should celebrate the 30th anniversary of Rozier's Heisman and the Scoring Explosion. They should wear 1983 uniforms and do it against UCLA, which works out very well symbolically as arguably Rozier's most famous play came against the same opponent, on the same field, on or very close to 30 years before to the day.

That's my vote anyway.

I think they are looking for something that will create a little more buzz than something that is similar/nearly identical to what we wear now.... I hope they go all out with it again this year....

We are getting new field turf this year.

FYI, this is a joke this makes me want to vomit.

I wish we would do a Matte white uni.
