Alt Uniforms

[HuskerHusaria]

This is pretty old news, but I haven't seen it posted here. Based on the image below, we've got throwbacks coming this fall.

Didn't they wear those before? I doubt those are the alternate unis but if they are.... Why?

The jerseys yes when Suh and Roy Helu were on the team either 2009 or 2010..

Numbers go back from the Devaney 62-68 teams days..

Yep. 1962 honoring em. Yes, NU wore these in 2009 vs Louisiana Lafayette for the 300th sellout.

That's just gross.

That's just gross.

So are those uni’s

Alt uniforms are silly. If we actually want an alternate uniform as a shock/marketing factor, then why not brown & white, pink & white, or just plain all white or all black without pinstriping, numbers or the red N?

Our next good alt uni will be our first good alt uni

Closest we’ve come are the gray facemasks

That face looks familiar. Was he the guy that squealed like a pig in Deliverance?

 

[Redblood23]

Stay traditional like Alabama and USC unless you're going to go and target the youngsters for recruiting the rest is unnecessary. These throwbacks are for the alumni and fans more than it is for recruiting. Makes no sense.

Wear the ones we win in. Also have heard AD has the final say on alts so hopefully Dannen can get some good ones

I thought the 2013 with the red jersey and big black N was cool. They had the black helmets and red N as well. Or maybe they grew on me because I’ve seen them a gazillion times in college football 2014.

They can’t be alternate uni’s, there more like throw back’s.

Why are they gross? I like the numbers they just don’t have any stripes on them but neither did they have them from 1974-1983 of course you may not know any of this because your most likely half the age or younger than of myself..

So they should play naked?

Agreed. Alt uniforms are just attempts at getting fans who buy jerseys to now buy more jerseys. I like the throwback uniform concept more than the alt uniform "look how crazy this is" concept.

I too like the throwback numbers, would have looked better with the varsity strips of the shoulder pads look..
