I have a sweatshirt and ball cap from 1994 that my late father gave me for Christmas. I think I have another ball cap from 1995 that has the old Huskers logo that has been revived by Trev.
Starter coat from mid 90's. Thing is lit. unfortunately I was still a young kid then, so I obviously cant wear it, but hoping my son can next year.
In the early 90s, I got my Dad a winter Husker coat that looked like the one TO wore on the sidelines in bad weather. He passed away a couple of years later, so I keep the coat with his favorite boots and Stetson.
A long sleeve T that's about 5 years old. This won't be a popular take, but I'm not big into Husker gear. Every time I put something on for gameday I end up feeling like a moron when we play like chit and lose another game. I had a couple polos to wear to work on Fridays during season but I donated them last year. I know, I'm not a real fan.
Oldest Nebraska-related item is a Switzer era t shirt that has on front Nebraska Football in the classic arch style, and on the back says Perennial Big 8 Runner Ups. Oklahoma red colored lettering. OU held an open gate practice on the Friday night before the game and I snagged it from a bench.
I have lots of stuff older than that. T-shirts, hats, coats and sweatshirts.
Don't have any Husker gear from when I was a student - but I do have my Sandoz 3 dorm shirt and more importantly, a Zoo Bar t shirt from that time long ago. (And most importantly, my UNL diploma.)
I have an Omaha World Herald giant post card of Johnny Rodgers pass against Colorado circa 1971.

I bought a 1994 National Championship sweatshirt in January 95. Nice embroidered and everything. A year later I had 1995 embroidered on it as well. Still fits and I’ll break it out for big games.
No gear, but I do have a stadium cushion the shape of a football from 1971 national championship
I'm a Boliever! t-shirt
I still wear it around the yard. Stupid thing won't wear out.

Reminds me, my mother passed in 2017. I then obtained these red & white striped overalls that my father wore to Husker games with my mother in the 70's. Think American Gothic. I still haven't tried them in to see how they fit.
They had this pitchfork that they painted red & white for pics (couldn't take that into memorial stadium). I have not run across any pics yet.
I have a life-size Devaney replica in my man-cave courtesy of a taxidermist ... please don't ask me how or why.
Oh man, lots of good stuff:
A still-full whiskey decanter from the 1971 national champs:
My cherished Ram It To Bama T-shirt from 1978, featuring Herbie, a corn cob and one very surprised elephant;
My warm-up from the 1977 season, the only remnant from making the mistake of thinking I could play football at NU. Cost me a knee ligament courtesy of being steamrolled by some unknown walk-on named IM Hipp. I wear it to games occasionally and always get offers to buy it off my back;
Commemorative football signed by many members of the 1971 team, including Rodgers and Kinney. They played one of those faculty basketball games at Burke HS and I got them to sign it;
Program from Game of the Century, mint condition. My dad's law partner went to the game (sorry, Mel Mains. I guess Dad liked me better).
Program from the 1938 NU-Baylor game;
Ticket for the 1966 B'nai Brith fund raiser in Omaha signed by both Devaney and Bear Bryant, who were the featured speakers (sorry again Mel);
My late brother-in-law's jersey from the 84 Orange Bowl. He was on the team;
Unworn T-shirt from 1996 Fiesta Bowl. Found it at the bottom of a drawer. If we ever play Florida again, it will be worn for the first time;
Various photos, hats, ticket stubs signed by TO and Bo. My daughter worked in the athletic department for a time (note: she loved Bo. The only coach who brought in cookies for all the minions);
Other assorted stuff. And someday I'm gonna have to figure out where it all ends up
I have an unopened wheaties cereal box from the 95 national championship. Scared to see what the cereal looks like inside after almost thirty years.
Also still wear a hoodie from early ninties that has a few holes but still wear it. My wife has bought me others but just love wearing this old one.

Have an old Leathermans sweater from the 1920s. Black wool, with a large white N sewn on the front. I’ve never worn it, as it’s about four sizes too small. They built them more diminutive back then.
.
I have 95 AND 96… last one signed by Tom… kids in my class always want me to open them… NOOOOOO!
I have a pretty awesome red Adidas windbreaker that they wore in the early 2000s.
I recently got rid of my jorts and goatee. 1994 called me and said it wanted them back.

Hell no. Still have it. I'd kick his ass for trying

My oldest clothing item is a "University of Nebraska Yin Yang" shirt from like 1995-96. It's got so many holes cause I love that shirt. I ought to frame it, the more I think of it!
A black sweatshirt after the 97 season that had 3 Sears trophies on it. It's really the only Nebraska gear I think I've ever had. I'm just not really into sports gear except maybe baseball caps. Got a KU degree with Gene Budig's signature on it.
I was a little boy but still have my 1983 Irving Fryer jersey.
