Just saw that Nebraska is doing alternate uniforms yet this year. This version is going back to the first year of Memorial Stadium in the year 1918. Say what you want about the school, their record, their coach, their nickname- but what I really want to point out here is look at the dark vertical stripes they have under their numbers. These uniforms going back to the same era as Jack Trice and now seeing an actual uniform incorporate the vertical stripe it would be pretty sweet if ISU could pull off a commemorative uniform for JT's 100 year anniversary coming up in a couple years.

Yeah, I think we should copy that for Jack Trice throwbacks - and that helmet too. We could do the same design helmet only in a deep gold which would be school colors as well as a better leather helmet retro look.

You are probably right, now that I look at it again.
Just take a look at Louisville when they wore black lids with chrome decals. They look nice through a professional lens but on TV it was real tough to see what was going on.

Did anyone see this on the official ISU equipment Twitter feed? I just happened upon it. I assume it's A Real Thing. Embedding the photo, too, for convenience.

Is what a real thing? The chrome helmet? You watched the Liberty Bowl and TCU games, right? Trying to bring Dan Patrick to Ames? I would assume so.

I freaking love that helmet, BTW. Thought it looked great with the all gold uniforms, but we apparently ditched those. :(
