jimmykc Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 I had never heard of Wilbur-at first I thought they were referring to the knuckleballer for the White Sox back in the 70's. Do we have any photos of this Wilbur? Quote
Huskerpapa Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 Hmmm. I am non-committal. It will all depend in how we play in them. Quote

Do we have any photos of this Wilbur? Here you go jimmy, a picture of Wood and the 1909 team in those throw back uniforms. Wood was the first black player in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference. Red Don, jimmykc and hhcmatt 3 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 If the 2016 Huskers don't wear those socks, then the look is an epic fail. That is all. jayschool 1 Quote
jimmykc Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 My dad was a successful coach in Kansas in the 50's and he insisted all his teams wore knee socks because it "improved peripheral vision" for seeing open teammates. He also make every player shoot free throws underhanded. AuroranHusker 1 Quote
49r Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 These are similar to the old time throwbacks they wore against Northwestern?? last year? Or was that 2 years ago? We wore these (Scarlet) last year. Don't recall who we played. The throwbacks worn for the Northwestern game two years ago were the home (Cream) version: AuroranHusker 1 Quote

49r Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 I am convinced we wore these last year, but I can't find any references to alternate jerseys for last year on here, so perhaps I'm mistaken. At any event I hope they bring us some luck. Quote

At any event I hope they bring us some luck. They wore these vs. Iowa last year. Looked great, played not so much. Only throwback I recall from last year. Quote
49r Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 Going back through game threads from last year I can tell we did alternates in the following games: "Made In March" alts in the B1G tourney The 60's alternates (which may be my personal fave of all time) posted above by uneblinstu vs. Iowa Black roadies @Michigan and that's it. I guess, unless I missed it, I was wrong. This is the first time we've gone with these throwbacks. Quote
