ALL RED!

I'm tainted by history with the all red thing - brings back memories of the '86 NU-OU game, one of the most painful losses in my lifetime of being a Husker fan. A bit of the same feeling on all whites - reminds me of a disappointing loss to Washington in a game at Husky Stadium that I attended in the early 90s.

The whole alternative uni thing is tainted. At least from recent history, how many games have we won versus lost wearing alternative uniforms?

Even if they came up with a Badass uniform, when the piss the game down their leg, there goes any excitement for them

🤷🏼‍♂️ If I had it my way it would be the Colorado night game!
I don’t know. With all Deion/CU’s hype and glitz and glamour BS I want NU to just go out there in their regular work clothes — scarlet & cream — and execute a beatdown. But if all scarlet helps attain that goal I’m all in. (Bad flashbacks to Oklahoma 1986 though)
 
I’ve have mentioned this before but if Bill Jennings would have not switch the helmets from Red to White the last year he coached too this day we might have been wearing Red helmets instead of white ones..

Only decision that Bob made was in Nebraska first away game during the 1964 season against Minnesota Nebraska wore red pants for away games except for the 1966 Orange bowl which was at night..

That was 1992. Mike Grant was the starting QB.

They also wore all-white in 2002 when Nebraska officially changed their uniforms. All-white with a red stripe down the sides. Coincidentally, they went 7-7 that year.

Yeah there was a lot of upheaval
 
You know what other teams do that don’t do stupid alternate jerseys? Win championships. Keep it simple, stick to the basics. Red tops white pants and white tops with red pants. White helmet red N.

Michigan, Georgia, LSU all have some type of alternate uniform.
Hardly. LSU where’s pretty much white tops and yellow pants 99% of the time. Michigan might alternate there blue , maize and white and Georgia I’ve seen in black a few times. No big hoopla about throwbacks or trying to be cute like it seems NU does with this every season.

Technically they would be around 94% of the time with their standard uniforms. Michigan will run with a yellow jersey for their alternates. Georgia has changed their helmets to white along with jersey and pant differences. LSU changes their helmet on the regular but will even go with a metallic gold with different logo. Ohio state does helmet and uniform changes.

I’m all for winning championships but to say championship teams don’t use alternate jerseys or uniforms isn’t quite accurate. Maybe one could say Alabama doesn’t do it👍

LSU also uses a white helmet and in 2018 they’ve worn purple helmet for one game.
Last time Georgia worn a different helmet was 2011 when it was Silver and a big red strip in the middle of the helmet.

Michigan wearing all maze uniforms doesn’t mean that their alternate uniforms..
