Nebraska will not wear alternate uniforms in 2024

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will not have an alternate uniform in 2024. 

While alternate uniforms may have become a common trend in college football, one team will not participate this year: the Nebraska Cornhuskers will not have an alternate uniform in 2024.

Head coach Matt Rhule confirmed the news with the Husker Radio Network on Wednesday.

Because of the way everything works, they start two years out. They’re talking to our marketing team about alternate uniforms in 2026, so there’s no alternate uniform this year. So, there’s no alternate uniform this year. Last year they had the throwback to the first game with the blue outline against Northwestern. That was something that had been planned two years prior. I’m a traditionalists. I love traditional uniforms.

Last season, Nebraska wore its standard red jerseys but with a blue border around the numbers. The blue border honored the first game Nebraska played at Memorial Stadium when the Cornhuskers wore blue uniforms.

The Huskers have had mixed results with alternate uniforms, so it’s not a significant loss to hear that the team has opted out of the trend in 2024.
