How – and why – Nebraska football convinced us that a jersey reveal was big news

In case you missed it over the weekend, Nebraska football is set to wear new jerseys in 2026. The athletic department made a big deal in the lead up to this announcement and in the immediate aftermath of it. But why? Did they simply want to maximize a money-making opportunity? Was it really about tradition? Did Nebraska get tired of its boring offseason? We have some thoughts and theories. Trae Taylor was in the news, too, before his official visit to Lincoln. His Millard South took home a piece of 7-on-7 hardware on Friday. Taylor talked a little on the way to winning the trophy. The Iowa football public noticed. This is how things work between the Huskers and Hawkeyes. Also, we review the final weekend of recruiting visitors at Nebraska. What can the Huskers expect over the days ahead as a dead period arrives? Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
