Adidas has once again rolled out its newest clown costumes known as alternate uniforms for its college football partners for next season.
The company’s past great ideas have included giving Notre Dame dual colored helmets with a navy leprechaun last season and slapping a green shamrock on the side of the helmet two years ago.
Michigan’s helping of past apocalyptic uniform play didn’t look as bad but it was grotesque enough for the Wolverines to ask out of the annual fashion show in 2013.
The crowning moment in Adidas’ assault on tradition was Nebraska and Wisconsin’s god awful uniforms in 2012. Needless to say those offerings coupled with Baylor, Louisville and Cincinnati’s neon uniforms in the NCAA Tournament did not whet my appetite for Nebraska’s uniforms to be unveiled for 2013. In fact, to make it worse, I just searched “Adidas NCAA Tournament uniforms” and found an even more sinister plan for the 2014 tourney - Zubaz shorts. 
To make a long story short Nebraska’s uniforms to be worn against UCLA this season…aren’t half bad. Good use of black, despite the fact that the Blackshirts have one foot in the grave, and a return to white helmets. Plus, no gigantic, ridiculous N instead of a number. Well done. Now, do something about the Zubaz basketball shorts. Zubaz hasn’t been acceptable since Canseco was rocking them.
