Love it hope is a black uniform!

 

[huskers1217]

Not touching the helmet. That will look stupid

I guess it's time for my old ass to cave on this issue.OD is right in that it is becoming a recruiting tool.

I wish them luck and I hope it's against a lesser opponent because I'd hate to lose the game due to there being a lack of focus in a fashion show.

If anyone thinks that we won or lost any game past, present, or future because of a uniform then they know less about football than I do!!!! And we all know that I don't know shit when it comes to football!!!!!!

This impacts 2 things and 2 things only.

1. Recruiting

2. Money because they will sell the jerseys.

It may impact more but I am very narrow minded so could only come up with 2 things.

 

[jedburks]

Wait, it's official? Did Osborne say it was official? Because otherwise it is NOT official.

Never thought I would see the day.

Just saying I hope it's an easy game. Coming out to look cool for a bunch of recruits and losing would be complete fail.

Here’s what AD Tom Osborne told the AP’s Eric Olson:

“It will be more futuristic, but it won’t be outlandish,” he said. “It won’t be so dramatic that fans won’t know what team they’re watching.”

Nebraska to wear alternate uniform once in 2012 Big Ten Network

Two other things to consider, according to Olson’s story:

1. Osborne won’t let adidas touch Nebraska’s white helmet

2. Osborne doesn’t want a black uniform, from head to toe, which doesn’t entirely eliminate the example pictured above (still the same white helmet).

Just an example but I think I likey

Wisc game!

and I don't like it one bit.... no sir... not one bit...,

Meh, I really don't give a hoot... kids today get bored tooooo easy with things... I think everyone is sporting A.D.D nowadays....

Screw it... Change our look to that of Maryland’s last year... go ahead... the kids now days want the extra cool look... oh wait, that includes our pants that have to hang down to our asses and tat's on every square inch of our body's... oh...oh... and the ear rings and nose rings...

I got it, let's make a Gothic Husker Uniform!!!

by the way... I was just teasing about it being against Wisc... but would not be surprised if someone did not pull this out of their butt... for the exposure that Adidas would want to come away with...

Osborne now said that the helmets may actually be changed.

On a semi-side note, anyone think that this could be an April fool's joke by Osborne? I dont think so but that would be REALLY funny!!!!

If so! Osborne got us, 1620 the zone, (for the last hour), writer at OWH & AP and even Charles Davis.
