I don't want to start one of those crazy uni threads, but I read this on the Big 12 blog today under "Uni watch" and was a little suprised. I am a little superstitous about these things and want to know what you think. (i.e. 2002)

Honestly the change is pretty minor.... Most people wont probably know the difference. They're minor tweaks prob every other year to keep up the college football fashion show.

 
These arent as drastic as they were in 02. New squared collers, meh. Numbers higher on shoulder pads, meh.

At least they arent changing the traditional style of our uniforms.

rather subtle changes. at least there is no pinstriping or huge red stripes on the pants. that was horrible.

from those pics of the numbers being higher on the shoulder, and the way the stripes look, lends it more of an old school look. me likey.

Yeah, if you watched the practice video on Huskers.com a week or so ago, you got a sneak peak at them. They very much have an old school look to them and they look very cool. Much better than the urine stained shoulder stripes that we ran out there last year, that's for sure, YUK!

 
The numbers to me looked like they might be high enough to look like the packers or something. I can live with it, but was just wondering what everyone else thought about them.

 
The squared collar is probably more comfortable than a v when you're wearing shoulder pads. At least it looked like it'd give your neck more room. Of course, that might make you susceptible to some horsecollars.

Agreed. I definitely like the bright white stripes. Best subtle tweak they could have made.

I like the changes. Moving the numbers to the top of the pads allows the stripes to be higher on the arm and they now extend all the way around rather than cut-off at the armpit. They remind me a bit of the early-70s jerseys. Hopefully, they fixed the yellowing problem with the arm-stripes as well.

 
The reason for the numbers being moved up is that the stripes have been moved up as well. It's a bit hard to tell, but we've been wearing straight horizontal stripes for the last decade (the stripe is level with the arm), and the outsides have been raised slightly making them flare a bit. Think of them as in the middle of these two:
