The Huskies used 10 different uniform combinations in 2014. If you want to see examples I suggest you check godawgz.com.

Presby - Corn Fest combo
Northwestern, Arkansas, Ball State, BGSU - All whites
UNLV, Ohio - White helmet with NIU decal, white jersey, red pants
Kent State - Black helmet with dog-only decal, black jersey, red pants
CMU - White helmet with NIU decal, red jersey, red pants
Miami - Black helmet with dog-only decal, black jersey, black pants
EMU - Black helmet with dog-only decal, white jersey, black pants
Toledo - White helmet with NIU decal, red jersey, white pants
WMU - Black helmet with NIU decal, white jersey, black pants
Marshall - Black helmet with NIU decal, red jersey, black pants

My two favorites were (surprise!) the Marshall and EMU combos, essentially our old uniforms. My least favorite by far was the CMU combo. That was bad, and CMU's uniforms that day were no better.

I love the Marshall ones red jersey and black helmet and pants. I think thats our brand money maker.

I'm not as anal (cue DogFan) about the jerseys as a lot of other people here. I liked the all reds but would have preferred black helmets instead. I also liked the red pants and black jersey combo. My favorite all year though was, of coarse, the black pants red jerseys for the bowl game.

1. Kent State
2. Marshall
3. Miami
4. WMU
5. Corn Fest
6. Underwear
7. EMU
8. Toledo
9. CMU


There was something about the black jersey/red pants I really enjoyed. I enjoyed the corn fest ones as well, but if they do it again next year I really want some just all hideous yellow jerseys, pants, and helmets like Oregon. That would be fantastic.

Note on the poll: you can vote for more than one.

1. Marshall
2. EMU
3. WMU - I don't like the NIU logo as much, but I understand why it's used.

9. CMU
10. All Whites - I really think there needs to be some sort of contrast.

I liked the Corn Fest jersey because I have one.

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.

The all whites and all reds are ugly!

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 .

All whites and dark dogs. I did like the black tops red pants though, just not my favorites.

The Kent St uniforms were awesome!

White/red/red was a combo I didn't expect to like but really did. And I typically don't like monochrome looks. I also dug the storm trooper all white look.

Black/black/red didn't work for me like I thought it would.

Agreed. These were the best.

After year-long deliberation I agree with Yesman (am I being a Yesman to a Yesman?) the white helmets and white pants have got to go. I'd much rather have red or silver helmets; at least they are part of our school colors. Let's chalk it up as a mistake and rectify it for next year.

Do you just mean when they are worn together? Or that they need to be completely removed from the closet?

Up close, I think the all white look really nice:



but on TV, they look less appealing (in my opinion at least)

I'm not a big fan, but it's obvious the players like the all-whites. They're here to stay.

Anything looks good when you're running all over BG in the MACC.

That could be it, too!
