I'm entitled to my opinion. What the recruits have to say doesn't influence my opinion on it either. Go Big Chrome.. ugh
I agree. I am on old fart traditionalist who generally does not like alternate uniforms.
But the players and recruits do... And these new ones have even me yelling "yea!"
I'm 67 years old and have been a fan of all white. Always thought colored pants and white jerseys looked so 1950's I think all white with red accents looks clean. Always thought the colored pants were because most kids moms couldn't get the grass stains out when they washed them back in high school
Not in love with the silver stripe on the pants, but otherwise, pretty decent. Like the helmet.
I wish they would allow both the Nike and Under Armour creative teams to do some uniforms and see what they could do.

Adidas Vice President and creative director is a former Nike designer. Two other former Nike designers are currently with Adidas as well. All three were part of the senior team at Nike.
Any reason given why they left Nike? And when they left?
After how many poorly designed alternate uniforms from Adidas, and having only this one that I would consider a success (but not a resounding success, IMO), I would still like to see what Nike and Under Armour could do on our traditional uniforms.
From reading a few articles, they left Nike in 2014 but just started working for Adidas sometime this year. The gap was due to legal issues with employment contracts they had with Nike.
The Adidas global creative director has been with Adidas since 2007. These 3 came over from Shoe Design. Not sure if they would have input on Unies or not. Would still like to see what Nike and Under Armour could bring to the table, just for comparison sake.
Now, after sitting on the bench as the brands litigated, Dolce has officially announced that he has taken the role of vice president and creative director Adidas. He posted the news on his Facebook page today:

Is this a position for all three regarding shoes only or company wide?
Taking up senior design leadership positions, the sportswear triumvirate will lead adidas’s new Brooklyn Creators Farm, as well as provide guidance to designers based at the German company’s Portland and Herzogenaurach HQs.

That's an awesome lil tidbit....The Herbie Husker in that location.
I don't like the Herbie Husker on there. Then again, I have never liked any of our "mascots". Maybe next year they should put lil' red on there? Lol

Like I said, he isn't the global creative director. Probably second in command since he is in the United States though.
I'm not sure why you keep posting articles that don't show me that they are involved in uniform design though. Anyway, I hope whatever Adidas is doing continues. This year's uniforms are the best they've come up with. I would still like to see what could be done by other companies with our traditional uniforms.

Everyone is entitled to own opinion. But, bottom line, the players and recruits are the ones who will be wearing them so what they think is more relevant than what you or I or joe blow Husker fan thinks.
I disagree completely with you on that one. Ultimately, it is the fan base that pays the bills. The recruits have no say in the matter of uniforms.
Look, I just said I wasn't a fan, I didn't go **** on everyone's parade, so I don't know what your problem is. I will say this version is better than the others, but I don't like them toying with the tradition. Oregon might need something like this, but we shouldn't.
Yes I'm glad they didn't really mess with the N on the side, but changing out the "HUSKERS" logo on the forehead in lieu of a Herbie Husker symbol makes us look like Okie Light. I can't believe people actually like that.
To me, all this stuff just cheapens the brand, and the more you allow people to jack with it, the more people will continue to do so.
Paul Gaudio has been with Adidas since 2006, not 2007 as you said. And he was recently appointed as their global creative director, I believe it was in 2014. First time that's happened in 15 years with Adidas.
I shared the links where I got the previous information, pretty simple. The white chrome Nebraska will have this season isn't new with Adidas, so they didn't just come up with them, they're recycled from Indiana.

Nikki Sixx and Big Boxes - are you going away and dropping all affiliation with Nebraska if they continue to trot out these alternate uniforms on an annual basis? Until enough people answer yes, they will continue.
I am not saying you shouldn't oppose the uniforms just saying they ain't going anywhere.

It's a message board. I'm saying my opinion. Why do you have to tell me that my opinions don't matter? If that were the case tell me why you are posting yours. I don't like altering our uniforms that mess with our traditions. I tolerate a single game where they parade an ugly uniform that really doesn't identify as an image of Nebraska. The players like them for that one game? Good. I hope they are happy. I hope that they also love playing for a tradition rich school such as Nebraska and our proud to wear our lame uniform with the red and that boring N on the helmet.
You misunderstand, I am not saying any such thing. Post away. Share your opinion. Complain away. In fact I am encouraging you to complain all the way up so that a change will be made. But until enough people do that, nothing will change.
Well, if your 67 did you even live in Nebraska during the Devaney era???
He is the one that pushed Go Big Red and made it a point that every one wears red on game day Saturday. He sold this to our fan base.
Since they couldn't wear red jerseys for away games they wore red pants. It's a on Devaney tradition that made this program.... Your history lesson has concluded.
There you go bringing our school's colors into this discussion. You'd think they were silver and black according to some on this board.
I don't have a problem. I simply posted the responses of the players and recruits who were talking about how much they like the alternate uni's for one game. That's what I don't get about you "traditionalists" getting all worked up over one game uniform change. Its one freaking game a year. Its fun for the players to do something different for one game a year. Get over it. Its not all about you.
I hear you and agree. But I do wonder to what extent an old timer like me, who grew up on Devaney/Osborne, prefers the tradition of those days simply because it really is the last time we were worth a ****.
I don't like the idea of alternate uniforms. However, these are cool and if such things appeal to players and recruits then bring it on. They can all wear silver and white f$cking tutus for all I care if they just start winning again. **** I am tired of losing. And let's get one thing straight: we remember Devaney/Osborne fondly because they WON. That is Nebraska's REAL tradition: winning.
LOL.... Seems to me all this losing especially on the road was due to these all white uniforms...
But hay these are Alternate uni's and shouldn't be the jinx in a box uni's we normally wear.
