DC White says you don’t mess with the tradition of the blackshirts. Joseph tried taking that tradition away but looks like Rhule wants to put a stranglehold on it and keep it. Love it!
Blackshirts are back!

Things that don't get Ws= Blackshirts, balloons, alternate unis, tunnel music.
Just win!!

College football traditions matter. Trev gave a black shirt to the basketball team after they beat creighton. Because it matters
Thanks. Seems as though it’s been a loooong time since you’ve been happy.
Hope you have something to be happy about next fall.
Wrong, Joseph felt they hadn’t lived up to wearing them so he put them away and were given back after the win against Ioway..
Do you actually understand the tradition? When the black shirts came about you didn’t earn them for the whole season you had to earn them each week. What Mickey did was perfectly ok
No. Not really. You a starter? Blackshirt. That's it.
Actually you had to earn them each day. They were picked up at the end of practice. If someone didn't perform well in practice, the next day they were given a grayshirt while another was promoted to wear the blackshirt.
any and everything that helps. this is a nebraska tradition. no one else. it's cool.
That defense wasn't worthy of blackshirts. You don't play like one, you don't get to wear them. That goes for all eleven d starters. One screw up, all suffer.
I get the "they did not live up to it" but this is a new era.
Lame ass Iowa had this "amazing" defense that NU lit up with ease.
Starters get them because they earned the starting spot.
It is not about us lame fans...it is about the guys on the team.
The tradition was/is...starteres get them.

for some reason I don’t think every starter got one but I’m probably wrong
The thing about “they are for staters” deal that I don’t like isn’t even about production, it’s about leadership and accountability.
Clearly, being a starter has had nothing to do with leadership/accountability for some time now.
Myles Freaking Farmer!!!!!!

They wore the blackshirts during practice. Hard to wear it during practice and yet pick it up after practice.
Picked up by the staff. They were then handed out the next day at the start of practice. They weren't jerseys. They were cheapy mesh practice vests. The only reason they were black was because that is all the sporting goods store had when Devaney sent one of his coaches down to buy them...or so the story goes.
Some Millennials on this thread think they know everything. But they wouldn’t know $&it about tradition and they stick their noise in the air about it.
They know who they are..

I thought the younger generations don’t like traditions?
Which is dumb. The tradition is to give black shirts to the starters on defense. Anything else is meaningless and does nothing to win games or motivate.
Can't stand the alternate uni thing. Seems so...junior high or high school.
