2015 Alternate Unis?

[ZRod]

For the 2012 game against Wisconsin, there were complaints from both teams regarding the large letters on the front of the jerseys causing small numbers. The teams couldn't identify the players substituting in and out due to the small numbers on the front of the jersey. I don't think there will a jerseys again like that, and I am surprised the NCAA doesn't have guidelines for minimum number sizes on the jerseys.

Actually I'm pretty sure they did make a rule stating number height the following year.

That's what I thought. I think Michigan had alt unis with small front-numbers around the same time, but I haven't seen them the past couple of years.

According to the rule book.

Rule 1

Section 4

Article 4

Part F

Numerals. Clearly visible, permanent Arabic numerals on one jersey at
least 8 and 10 inches in height front and back, respectively, of a color(s)
in distinct contrast with the jersey. All players of a team shall have the
same color and style numbers front and back. The individual bars must
be approximately 1-1/2 inches wide. Numbers on any part of the uniform
shall correspond with the mandatory front and back jersey numbers.
So it looks as though 8 inches is the smallest the numerals can be on the front.

Additionally;

Rule 1

Section 4

Article 3

Part B

A white jersey is one with only contrasting playing numbers, player’s
name, school name, NCAA Football logo, school insignia, conference
insignia, mascot insignia, game insignia, memorial insignia or the
American flag attached. An insignia must not exceed 16 square inches
in area (i.e., rectangle, square, parallelogram), including any additional
material (e.g., patch). Stripes may be placed on the sleeves. A border not
more than 1 inch wide around the collar and cuffs is permissible, as is a
maximum 4-inch stripe along the side seam (insert from the underarm to
pants top).

Unless I am reading this incorrectly (which is most likely the case), looks like they changed anyone's ability to put any sort of "insignia" on the jersey larger than 16 square inches. That's a 4 in x 4 in size. So it looks like my dream is killed. Damn it...

Still think this is our best compiled look

Yeah that ^^^ I do like the white collar and 'U of N' on the mockup at the top of the page though.

 

[throwing bones]

To be honest. I just hope our coaches are better dressed. I can't stand seeing them in what looks like cheap dockers.

What's your stance on harbaugh? He literally buys his slacks at Walmart. But I'm glad you can still find something that can be critiqued about the old staff.

I don't know about alternate uniforms but I wish Nebraska would go back to wearing the 2001 uniforms as the main season uniform.

I agree those uniforms were classic and sweet. I'd love to ditch the striped pants to look less like Wisconsin and go back to that with the long red home socks and long white away. That or an Indianapolis Colts style of uniforms (similar to 1971/1972.) If I remember correctly, I believe Solich had a say in uniforms back then. Under Pelini the players had the say in what to wear. Not sure what Mike Riley's approach would be BUT a change in uniforms under the Riley era would be nice just nothing drastic. I guess 2003 was the last time we had non striped pants and single striped jerseys.

IDK about Riley when it comes to uniforms, Oregon State's are ugly imo

 

[Detasselingthehuskers]

IMO I have always loved OSU's unis. Love how the stripe on the helmet goes onto the face mask as well.

I say no to any alternative uniform that does not showcase our school colors.

Like that last abomination they called a uniform....

Darken the pants to the color of the helmet & change out the # for the U of N emblem. Then they are perfect.

Also make the gloves look like leather. Make it look like everyone is holding a ball.

I remember reading in a Nebraska history book once that those 1929 uniforms with the cream N on the chest. The cream material was a type of "canvas" that was supposedly slightly sticky/grippy and helped prevent fumbles.
