RE: Poll: Rank the Uni's 2014
Last year with the red helmets was 1991, Charlie Sadler's first year. We wore the red helmets through the 1980's, though the Bill Mallory years had more of an Alabama-type darker red than the scarlet of the Pettibone years.

I'll tolerate any of the combos as long as the helmets match the pants... that's a f*^&ing rule. So, the Kent State uniforms are out. There's a reason we played like sh*t that day. Same with CMU.

My favorite combination is black helmet, red jersey, black pants. OR, red helmet, black jersey, red pants. The latter combo was not worn. What the hell is wrong with a red helmet? As to helmet logo, I prefer the traditional logo of the Huskie head over NIU.

When was the last time NIU wore a red helmet?

Not in recent memory. Since we now go with a uniform du jour, why not add a red helmet? It IS one of our school colors.

I don't disagree. I've never personally seen one. I tried googling "NIU Red Helmet" and couldn't find any. According to this site ( http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/) , they were last used in the late 80's .

You'll get some great looks here.

FYI, the "late 1980s" Red Helmet (with stripe) was worn in the 1990 73-18 ass-kicking of Fresno State. Black jerseys and Black pants with the stripe was the rest of the combo.

RE: Poll: Rank the Uni's 2014
There are things i like and things I don't like about the new unis.

I like chrome facemasks.

I do not like the silver shiney head or the shiney NIU (ala Boca Bowl) on the black helmet, as you can not even read it.

I miss the "NIU" w/ dog head. What was wrong with that?

When Frazier calls me to get my opinion, I will tell him that, at home, the Huskies should wear black helmets, black pants, and red jerseys, except for the all black blackout game unis.

On the road, the Huskies should wear all white.

Great video. Thanks for posting...

at 5:40, there is a blocked punt that ends up as a Safety ( I didn't see anyone tackled in the endzone) . Rule change since then, or am I missing something?

RE: Poll: Rank the Uni's 2014
I loved the all whites for NU and The MACC but hated them for BSU and Arkansas.

I did not like the small dog head sticker.

Really I like any UNI the team wears when we beat Toledo a B1G team or win a MACC

Those are pretty cool.

I wanted to vote for the Boca game ones because I feel that's our "classic" look, but the game brought back bad memories of a lot of classic era heartbreaks...time to move on...

Go with the dark dogs home and the all-whites away.

I also like 7's idea of the goddawful corn fest look going forward. All bright yellow corn cob from helmets to cleats...03-rotfl

As someone who attended that ass-kicking game and many others in the 80s and early 90s, I'd love to see that look and the NI helmets for homecoming one of these years...

The all white stormtrooper uniforms are my favorite. The team looks sharp. The red jersey / black pants are my least favorite. They look dated and high schoolish.

RE: Poll: Rank the Uni's 2014
I liked the all reds. White jersey/red pants is nice too (UNLV). I am fine with all white as well. I didn't like the red jersey/black pants as much as I thought I would.

Love the introduction of the NIU on the helmets and jerseys. Wish they would add NIU back under the Huskie head.

A picture of the unis for all games would be so helpful lol.

That switch is when we abandoned our true school colors of Cardinal and Black (under Mallory) for Red and Black.
