1925-26 was the first year we had numbers on the front of the jersey

Following year they probably added #s to the back row too.

The '91 unis were made by Champion. I always liked 'em.

 

FWIW, this is definitely not 90-91 as I don’t believe TB was even on the roster.  The next year I believe he redshirted as Fr.  Then he played as a RS Fr ( along with true Freshmen Boone, Woolridge and Strickland) on the 92-93 team.  Pretty sure I have that right ?  All that to say that this picture was 92 at the earliest.

You are correct, but the uni TB is wearing was debuted in 90-91.

I think this might be the first black uniform we had, if not it is very similar to what we wore in 1990-91 when they were debuted.

 

First time down in Columbia...lost 71-91?   And in Big 8 tourney vs KU (win) and maybe at home one game that year ?   I’m guessing you’ll remember?

For some reason, I'm remembering the first time the black uniforms being worn that season on the road against Iowa State, where we won 65-57. I certainly could be wrong. But the only reason this stands out to me is because I was sitting in Pershing Auditorium that night watching the Harlem Globetrotters. They kept flashing the Husker game score. I distinctly remember my dad wearing his radio headphones listening to the Husker game telling me that Nebraska apparently wore black. I remember wanting to get home in time to watch the 10 o'clock news to see the black uniforms. That's what I remember anyway, lol.

You are correct on the game and the black uniforms. We had an old satellite dish and I was searching for the game with little luck and then I came across the game and saw us wearing black and thought I was on the wrong game. I was fired up when I realized what was up and we had our black unis on.

Dirk has an article that confirms

Here are the 1990-91 jerseys worn vs Kansas in the 1991 Big 8 semifinal win over Kansas.

 

[hhcmatt 12,915]

I think that the 1991 uniforms and the 1993 uniforms are identical except that the 1991 uniforms sport an American flag on the right shoulder due to the Gulf War.

[hhcmatt 12,915]

Here is one sort of one-off uniform from 1940-1941.  Appears to be white numbers on a white uniform. 

 

 

The 1939-1940 group photo seems to be a mix of this and the traditional red lettering on white uniform

It was the depression, man.  You made do with what you had!

Reminded me of 2012-2013 when adidas had the color on same color idea. I can't remember if we had white on white too. I'd look it up but I blew all my looking up energy getting to this point. 

 

PS I didn't hate these.

I’m a sucker for black uniforms. Being a baseball fan I loved the Mets and Royals black jerseys. I don’t understand the take of “black isn’t a school/team color.”

Looks like we'll see the debut of the black alts tomorrow.
