2014 Alternate Unis?

[JJ Husker]

Maybe these will look better on the field during the game.......the ones last year did. I'm really not opposed to alternates. I just wish they would do a better job with them. Hell, go way overboard with them. I like what Oklahoma State has done, Oregon, Navy, and some others. I just think Adidas is stuck in a rut, they tend to look like some sort of throwback youth pajamas or something. I could handle some matte colors on the helmet, blacks, grays, silvers, golds, heck even some full color corn or something but, these aren't doing it for me......yet anyway.

The bolded all exist on this uniform. Along with RED!

I'm not saying everyone should dislike them. It's just a personal taste thing when it comes to liking or disliking the colors/design/mixture on a uniform. Some people like em and that's fine by me. I just think they could be much better. I guess the imortant thing is if the players and potential recruits like them. Grumpy old bastards like me will get over it for one game per year.

Here's what Illinois will be wearing.

They could have done us a favor and gone with blue pants so they wouldn't clash so much with ours.

Matte red with shiny black, very nice. Guess I'm a little surprised at how shiny the stripes look. Thought they would be more of a flat black instead of the silver.

Why do Husker fans have to b!^@h so much about uniforms?

 

[BaytownHusker]

I love the uniforms but for one don't really care for the black on the back of the helmets. But if the kids love it I love it.

Initial reaction was disappointment. I know that once they come out of the tunnel and get ready for kickoff I will be all in! I do like the idea of alt uniform once a year. Brings a diff perspective to a game if anything.

I'll let you know how I feel overall about 8:30 tomorrow evening from the stadium. For now...I'm liking the helmet a lot...a real change up...looks industrial, in a tough sort of way. Not sold on the silvery stripes, but will reserve judgement till I see them under the lights, flashing by Illini defenders and destroying Illini ball carriers.

I thought the stripes on the pants were initially black. Obviously I was wrong.....................don't know what to think about the stripes now!?

you know


you

you don't have to wear them.

you don't.

You know I'm an alumni who cares that this uniform will essentially represent our whole state for a Saturday afternoon this fall, and it doesn't do justice to how iconic and classic our regular uniform is, nor the success that this program has had and what that success has meant to the state. Sometimes imagery is meaningful.

You are going to make a great Blue hair in the future Schu.. you already have the bitching and complaining part down.

These would be so much better.

 

[deedsker]

These would so much better.

Or black pants and red top.
