Agreed, but not as much. Nike seems to do a much better job with it's preferred schools and Adidas has no clue.

I personally think they are ok. And I am for a tweak to the uni every now and again.
Huskers.com has the link up to the new uni's. The story also says:
"Next week, Wisconsin will unveil their new adidas TECHFIT football uniforms that they'll wear for the Unrivaled Game versus Nebraska on September 29."

Amen to that!
The uniforms look cool and funky. Glad that they are incorporating black into the uniform. A good way to honor the blackshirts. It would be cool to have a black uniform to wear for a home game once a year. To show support for the blackshirts.

Lol, I personally do not. Being in the military and seeing multiple uniform changes in the past few years, I can say that it does change thought processes. Some changes for the good and some for the bad.
I just brought up the wins and losses because I remember thinking that it was super cool to see a different color combination. I also remember hearing friends and family being upset when they saw the team take the field in all red because of the win/ loss history of that uniform. I just think it is kind of weird to have a record like that.
As a football player (in the way past), I will say that the uniform will have the team supercharged when they start the game. If they fire on all cylinders in the first couple posessions it could mean a great night. If they come out and lose a turnover or something, the emotional drop against a very good Wisconsin team could end up being really bad.
In the end I say it is great to see the change and just remember these are still kids who genuinely want to succeed. I guarantee not a single person who dons that uniform will ask themself how they are going to screw up.
GO BIG RED
Since so many schools are trying to be different by radically changing their uniforms,
why don't we be radically different by keeping our uniforms the same?

To me, the bottom line is this - the uniforms should be what the PLAYERS want to wear. They're not for us, the fans, or the media, or anyone else for that matter. Personally, as I've stated, I think the look is bada$$ - but if the players didn't like it I wouldn't want to wear them. I have read that Rex thinks they're awesome and wishes they could wear them for more than 1 game. If they're good enough for Rex, they should be good enough for us.
Sorry guys.. but I swear I've seen these uniforms before back in my childhood...
That said, I don't like the monochrome color-on-color look, so they are very 'meh' to me. But I understand why UNL would want to wear these against Wisky. At least from a distance I'll know who I'm cheering for during that game. =)

All these new pjs ^H^H^H uniforms are missing is the buttflap escape hatch.
Wisky became the one-dimensional team they always have been now they are without Wilson. Until, at least, whomever is QBing them this fall proves his worth, I think Ball won't have the year everyone is expecting.

Ummm, not quite, we have black ears.
1. Rex Burkhead likes them.
2. Rex scores touchdowns.
3. Touchdowns win games.
Ergo, I like the uniforms. Impaler might be able to agree with me here (having lived in Oregon), but alternate uniforms are a BIG DEAL to student athletes. A BIG DEAL. And the simple fact is, Nebraska has been woefully slow to adopt any changes. Even the throwback "300" uniform caused a major stir within the fan base. I'm not saying that we need to go Full-Oregon with wonky color schemes and Darth Vader costumes, but by the same measure we can't afford to look stodgy. Nebraska has tightly held onto a tradition of excellence and that's permeated all the way down to the uniforms, the atmosphere and the fans. It always stays the same.
The problem is that Nebraska has not been nationally relevant for a while. And to kids growing up, we're no longer the traditional football powerhouse with classic uniforms, we are the outdated once-upon-a-time that is still clinging to the same duds we sported in 1980. Today's 20 year olds were 5 the last time Nebraska won a national title. And they hadn't even reached middle school when we last reached a BCS Bowl.
You read that right. Taylor Martinez and Rex Burkhead were learning to write in cursive when Nebraska was getting slobberknocked by Miami in 2001.
I love our uniforms - dearly. But we must be able to convey that Nebraska is a great school to attend. We already fight enough recruiting disadvantages, we don't need an old-timer mindset to deprive us of another. These alternates - whether you like the style or not - at least convey that Nebraska isn't afraid to mix it up. We're able to maintain our traditions and still be modern and fun. The fact is, I'm tired of being behind the times compared to Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Stanford, USC and more. Kids like to look flashy and the last time I checked they were the ones actually suiting up.

The red pants are about the ugliest things I have ever seen....black would be so much better. These pretty much suck.
