I don't buy your brand argument. Great brands constantly reinvent themselves and do so without losing their appeal.
It's true that Nebraska is a traditional school. But keeping tradition and reinventing brand messaging are not mutually exclusive.
I agree, however they don't reinvent on such a frequent basis. Nebraska has evolved over the years as well, just much more deliberately and carefully. Oregon changes several times in the same season. Last I heard is that they have somewhere around 25 different Uni's. Hence my comment that they are more of a "fad" or trend.
Folks make it sound we have two options - stick with our "traditional" uni or become Oregon. There's quite a bit of real estate in between.
As far as I know, people really liked the '62 throwbacks NU wore for the 300th sellout. What we be so bad about wearing something retro once per year? Or perhaps letting Adidas design something modern for one game per year? And why does "modern" automatically mean "clownish?"

Very cool.Adidas did a cool "retro" style for Michigan this year...most UM fans I know thought they were cool.
The '62 Throwbacks were great. We could also bust out the old UCLA-style shoulder stripes (Johnny Rodgers era).
People think that "new uniforms" means you go full-****** like Oregon or Maryland. But there is room for updates without losing the tradition. Remember the Callahan-era pants? With the single, fat red stripe down the side? They looked cool but didn't go so far as to be "un-Nebraskan."

Great example of how a uni can look both modern and traditional at the same time. Doesn't look "clownish" to me in the least.

Are you referring to these: http://8460986520067655346-a-180274...te/nebraskafootballhistory/uniforms/2002.jpg?
If so, those were only worn in 2002 (when Solich and Co. snapped the 9-win streak with an ugly 7-7 campaign).
Side note - When Steve Pedersen was hired, one of the first things he did was to get rid of these abominations.
No one is saying that we have to be "Oregon". And as mentioned in the video, maybe evolving is Oregon's new found tradition. That's just what they do. That doesn't mean that we should stay plain looking so that we aren't becoming a "fad". Change is a part of life. It's call evolving. Everything surrounding college football has evolved over the past 50 years, from rules, to offensive/defensive schemes, amount of elite athletic players, to the youth of the dominant players, etc..... Can you imagine if the Memorial Stadium hadn't "evolved from the day the first Sellout started......we'd have a lot less season ticket holders watching the game in person.
Exactly.........
Everyone knows you shouldn't go full ******, but why do we have to adopt a previous design in order for some to say they support the "modern" look. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I like new things. I'm a simple guy so I'm not going to go looking for something flamboyant, but that doesn't mean I'm out shopping for bell bottoms made by Coogi or Gucci. I'm sure these "professional designers" can be creative for the uniforms without, turning us into a comic book character (which is cool as hell....:lol
that doesn't look like uniforms we wore 20-30 years ago. tOSU had nice uniforms that were simple and didn't resemble their tradition design. Mich St had something also.
I gotta admit, I like those throwbacks. But that figures, since my formative years as a Husker fan were in the 1960s.
I think was used for the UM-Notre Dame night game this year. And, I think Notre Dame did, or was supposed to, have something similar.
I would like to see some Black incorportaed into the uni's at some level but would stop short of a black helmut.
