Though wish they had at least a couple of subtle red items. N on the pants and jersey. But either way I like having an alternate.

Did Barney get #1 - Shavers already had it but that doesn’t look like him.

At least the stripes on the pants might keep the "change nothing!" mob slightly at bay....

Unfortunately our losses haven’t been isolated to these types of games :(

have we ever had a blackout before?
Not necessarily ‘blackout’ but some super special hyped up game with something or another

we lost in all blacks to UCLA when they finally realized TMart was injured and couldn’t run

Maybe a ‘red out’ or something against Texas 2010?

Lost in all reds to Oklahoma in 86?

lost to Oklahoma in 84 when we were doing some blackshirt power towel thing?

Feels like a few others but I don’t know

less hype and more execution is what’s needed here.

and get off my lawn!

We didn’t wear any alternate uniforms in Rhule 1st season in 2023. Except for the blue trim on the numbers.

2009 Nebraska wore throwback uniforms which weren’t alternative uniforms.

I remember Broderick Thomas, the sandman, with the keys to our house in 1987. Oklahoma just came in and took them. 1 vs 2. I still remember how quiet it was on the way out of the stadium.

If this gimmick doesn't work, next year they can break them out against Houston Christian for the W.

Black jersey games:

(L) 2020 Illinois
(L) 2019 Indiana
(L) 2015 Northwestern
(L) 2013 UCLA

2025 v USC
Nebraska is 0-5-1 all time aginst the Trojans.
However, the tie game against USC in 1970 propelled the Huskers into the national spotlight for the next two nattys.
