Huskers to unveil new but 'sort of retro' football jerseys

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska Athletics and Adidas have officially released new home and away uniforms for Husker football.

The uniforms, which feature updates inspired by classic Husker football design elements, were unveiled on Saturday night at the Hawks Championship Center following the Battle of The Boneyard 7 on 7 event.

The jersey features two stripes across the shoulders, with player numbers relocated to the sleeves as a nod to traditional football uniforms that celebrate the legacy of Nebraska’s football program. Embracing Nebraska’s agricultural heritage, the jersey number font draws inspiration from the numbers engraved on a steel anvil, and incorporates interior lines inspired by the crop rows that stretch across the state’s landscape, connecting the game-day uniform to the land that defines Nebraska.

The iconic Nebraska helmet will not change, and the helmet stick N will also remain.
