A new uniform is unveiled for the university of Nebraska football program. Here in the panhandle, there's mixed reactions from Cornhusker fans.
Adidas and the University of Nebraska unveiled the new uniforms the Cornhuskers will wear on September 29th when they host Wisconsin.
The uniform is red from head-to-toe and showcases a bold black "N" on the chest, player numbers above the heart and black stripes on the jersey and pants.
The helmet honors the program's blackshirts legacy.
However, fans say it is a bold move to venture away from the Cornhuskers traditional red and white jersey.
"Growing up watching the Huskers, I've always been into the stadium, and I've always loved the red and white uniforms," says Marc Ball. "I think keep the tradition."
"I don't mind change," explains Ann Datel of Mitchell. "I like change once in a while. But I do like the red and white awfully well. So I guess whatever they think is best for the team."
"It would be a nice change for every once in a while for an away or a home game," adds Jacob Trauernicht of Mitchell.
Hopefully the new uniforms help avenge last years lost to Wisconsin.
The two teams were both ranked in the top 10… but Wisconsin clobbered the Huskers by a score of 48 to 17.
The Nebraska-Wisconsin matchup is Adidas' first "unrivaled game", a new annual event that pits two of Adidas' top programs against each other.
