Nebraska Football Unveils All-Black Alternate Uniforms for USC Showdown
The Nebraska Huskers are going dark this season for their Nov. 1 matchup against USC. The Huskers will don an all-black alternate uniform, marking the first trip to Lincoln for the Trojans since 2007.
The uniform stays true to the Huskers’ classic design while flipping the color script. The jersey mirrors the standard look with two white sleeve stripes and bold block numbers, but all the iconic red has been swapped for black. Even the famed red “N” on the helmet is now black. One subtle touch: the “Winning Tradition” patch has moved from the front of the jersey to the inside of the collar.
Nebraska fans are known for their Sea of Red, but for this game, the school is calling for a full blackout inside Memorial Stadium. Attendees are encouraged to wear black apparel, giving the Huskers a unified, intimidating presence as they face the Trojans. It’s a rare visual twist on one of college football’s most iconic home environments.
This isn’t the first time NU has gone dark. The last black alternate was worn in 2020 against Illinois. Previous black alternates include matchups against Indiana in 2019, Northwestern in 2015, and UCLA in 2013.
With this alternate, Nebraska not only nods to a history of bold uniform choices but also gives fans a fresh, intimidating look that’s perfect for the spotlight of November football.
