Nebraska to Wear Throwbacks


Shoolaces

Recommended Posts

Against UL-Lafayette on Sept. 26 it's rumored that NU will wear throwbacks (my guess is to when the streak started...early 60's). No "real" sources but I was randomly at the stadium and saw the white helmets with grey facemasks and black gothic numerals.

I know there are a few husker fans on here that might like to know...lol

I'm guessing based on helmets I saw...

It looks like the normal uniforms with less stripes and a different number font. Not sure if a non-logo fan would even pick up on that right away. Then again, I guess they can sell more jerseys if they have different types of jerseys to sell.

I don't know how different these will look than our regular set.

Are you starting at linebacker? <_<

"We" is acceptable for students and Alumni, IMO...

How is we not acceptable for fans? When talking about the Twins, I say we, but there is no way I will ever be literally a part of the team. Don't you consider your favorite team, to a degree, your team? When asking who your favorite team plays, don't you say we? Who are we playing today? I think it is very acceptable to apply that you are part of the team because fans are a huge part of teams.

Here we go again. Someone call me when it's over.

I always saw "we" when talking about the Huskers, and every other fan I know does, so I don't see the problem here. Plus we have a pretty big fan base considering this will be the 300th sellout.

Anyway, I've always wanted to see the Huskers wear throwbacks, these should look nice.

That post above brings up a good question. Why were stomach length jerseys so common in college football in the mid-90s?

Those pictures are from the 80s, not the 90s.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I remember the running backs in the '90s having the "half-shirts" and the back panel of the shoulder pads would be flopping around. I would like to see Nebraska go back to the 'N' on the sleeve like they had with Turner Gill.

I always guessed that it was for "ventilation," less to grab onto, and the "style" of the times. BTW, I hated that look, but I never played football beyond middle school.

"We" is perfectly fine for fans to say IMO. I do it all the time. As a fan, you're a part of the team, in fact you're a very important part of the team, without the fan there would be no sport, because sport is just entertainment.
