14. Nebraska Cornhuskers

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it, right? The Nebraska Cornhuskers are the defitinon of traditional style sporting the same red and white uniforms game in and game out.

Not to say anything is wrong with this look, but in a world of new color combinations and outspoken styles, the Cornhuskers’ jerseys still speak like they are in the 1990s and are chasing after a national title. Since their championship back in 1997, the Huskers have experienced a makeover in their style of play and are not the same old wear-you-out, grind and pound team they were back then.

With a new play style, the Huskers could benefit from a new look every now and then. There is pride to be had in sticking true to one’s roots, but perhaps the whole “look good, play good” mindset is needed to revamp the Huskers spiral they are encountering not only on the field, but in the administration as well.

13. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Same thing holds true for the Scarlet Knights, as we tend to see the same red and white pattern game in and game out. From time to time, the Knights will sport a different color scheme now and then with a black alternate jersey or grey helmet.

Maybe it’s an Adidas thing or simply a red and white deal that is causing the Cornhuskers and Scarlet Knights to fall to the bottom of this list, but if there is someone out there reading this that is a fan of the old-school list, then maybe this listed can be looked at from an opposite view as both Nebraska and Rutgers have that aspect covered.
