Stop it with the environmental crap talk and bring back the balloons!!

Thomas Wright

Tradition !! It’s all part of the game and has been for so many years … HELL YES BRING IT BACK PERMANENTLY !!!!🎈🎈🎈 and GBR !!!

Wade Williams

We miss the balloons. Bring em' back!

Bruce Bredthauer

Because all that green woke bullshit is way overdone

Don Darrow

I love 🎈 like Penny Wise

Tom Cullinan

It is a unique tradition and raises a modest amount of money for the program. Besides, the new B1G ad still shows the balloons rising from the stadium and we'd hate to be billed for a redo.

Robert Lloyd

Tradition lives on and no intelligent person believes this is destroying the earth. Get rid of liberals not our balloons.

Doug Einsel

Have the cheer squad release at both ends of the stadium from large boxes/baskets.

Don Micki Boehm-Havern

Only if all biodegradable!

I am extremely concerned that some redwood owl or a spoon-billed sandpiper my try to eat the balloons and die. This is unacceptable. This may tarnish Big Red forever. I need a diet Squirt.

Rick Hazen

Maybe start a new tradition with the new coach and new team. Opponents have been complaining about the balloons possibly not being biodegradable so let's just change things and start something new

Joe Nigro

Environmentally irresponsible.

Steve Goertz

Let's start a new environmentally friendly salute.. .. red hankies.. red signs....

Richard Stotts

some traditions need to be changed, this is one. no balloons

Gary Williams

We have already broken the tradition. Let it lie and bring it back only for certain games.

Mike O

No. Celebrating a single touchdown as if it's some sort of win? It's a fun idea but it is littering and there should be other ways to celebrate the first touchdown. Dannen is just sucking up to the fans here. He wouldn't do this if he had to pick up the spent balloons.

New DC, Less experience... Will be GREAT if D can adjust, But I'm not drinking that kool-aid until we see it on game day. Offense should be one of the best we've had in a long time. Definitely on them to lead the way :)

Robert Lloyd

I look for the offense to be one of the best in the country this year with Holgorson as the OC.

I like this one a lot better than the last... I think it'd be cooler it there was a little red mixed in with the white...

Bill Streit

I don't know about everyone else but white Husker wear black the fans should wear black that day instead of a sea red you would have a csea of black shirts black out day

Brett Nelson

Cool, clean design.

Lisa Whisenhunt

I like the clean classic look

Christopher Benson

It’s time to break out of the clutches of pointless and boring conventionalism.

Mike O

As long as the players assume the same attitude of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. It's only a flesh wound.

Jim Eason

Really? Voting on uniforms!? If there were an option labelled "Who Cares?", it would get MY vote. Let's play football!

George mcdaniel

These uniforms look good

Clark Huenink

I like Black, just for one game though

We really don't need an ugly alternate uniform. It's the play on the field that counts, not the uni's.

Doug Einsel

Huskers havent had much luck when playing in alternate uniforms.

ALAN JAIXEN

keep the tradition alive.

Bill Scheef

Please keep your over the top conservative political references off of this site. Be careful for what you wish for...sir !

Chad Alexander

Once again. That's the best that Adidas can come up with!? I see Nike & Under Armor alternate uniforms from othe Univ. that seem to me really cool, like Stars & Stripes logos or school colored camo. Maybe Adidas can hire a designer that doesn't suck? Or maybe the UNL can step out of there comfort

Brian Ostdiek

Just think it could have been done better

David Cole

Scarlet & Cream

Robert Lloyd

Nebr is all about tradition. Don't do it.

Ray D

I've seen better, more creative, black setups from Nebraska. If you're going to spend the effort to do an alternate, make it special...go Oregon mode.

Wade Williams

I grew up in the south, in the 80's. Teams with ugly, all one color unis were SWAC teams, that's what I always equated that with, a lower level of competition. I do recall NU wearing all red against OU in 1987. It came off as gimmicky & I hated it. But if todays kids want it, so be it.

Michael DePuglio

wore black against UCLA a few years back and blew a 21 point lead...and lost.

Mark Rasmussen

Don’t like any alternate uniforms. Stay with the classic NE look
