adidas and the University of
Nebraska today unveiled new TECHFIT football uniforms the Cornhuskers will wear
on September 29, 2012 when they host the University of Wisconsin Badgers at
Memorial Stadium. This marquee contest is adidas' first Unrivaled Game,
an annual matchup of top adidas programs. This year's Unrivaled Game
featuring the Cornhuskers and Badgers is themed "The Quick and the
Red."
The Cornhuskers' new adidas TECHFIT
football uniform celebrates the school's rich football heritage with a modern
update and highlights the history of the Nebraska "N." The uniform
is head-to-toe red and showcases a bold black "N" on the chest,
player numbers above the heart and black stripes on the jersey shoulders and
side of pants. The team's black adidas TECHFIT compression base layer
features a tonal letter "N" on the sleeves to complete the look.
Nebraska's black helmet honors
the program's Blackshirts legacy and features a red stripe and block
"N." The Cornhuskers' adizero Smoke gloves feature the "N" logo and
the team's reflective black adizero cleats combined with the red -plated bottom
will bring a bright and exciting look to Nebraska's footwear during their
Homecoming night game.
The Cornhuskers' adidas TECHFIT jersey
is a complete reconstruction of the standard football jersey with multiple
innovations to reduce the weight of the jersey by 30 percent. These
technologies include a streamlined fit, new fabric, reduced seams and an ultra
lightweight name and numbering system. In addition, the adidas TECHFIT
jersey keeps players cool with integrated ventilation zones and moisture
management fabric. Reduced seams and a restriction-free, high-stretch
collar design increases range of motion to support player agility and
speed.
