Nebraska Football gets new uniforms ahead of 2026 season

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Nebraska Athletics and Adidas unveiled new home and away uniforms for the Nebraska football team on Saturday at the Hawks Championship Center following the Battle of The Boneyard 7-on-7 event.

“Our partners with adidas approached us about two years ago with updated uniform concepts to provide a modernized look. We appreciate that adidas recognized the natural connection between Nebraska football and agriculture and used that as inspiration for a design that is fitting of the hard work, grit and dedication of our state,” said Brandon Meier, Nebraska Senior Associate AD/Marketing and Multimedia.

The new Nebraska uniforms will have two stripes across each shoulder moving the player’s number to the sleeves.

Nebraska Athletics said the jersey number font design comes from the inspiration of the numbers engraved on a steel anvil and has lines similar to the crop rows that go all across Nebraska.

“Recruiting is undeniably the lifeblood of competitive success, and young kids want to wear something sleek, modern, fast, and fashionable,” said Haven Fields, Deputy AD/Chief Operating Officer of Husker Athletics. “These updates will give a cutting edge to the iconic Nebraska brand. We are proud of the final product and excited for the 2026 season.”

Despite the new uniforms, the Nebraska helmet will not change, and the helmet stick N will also remain on the front of the pants.

Adidas has been the primary apparel partner of Nebraska Athletics since 1995. These new jerseys are available for sale on adidas.com or shop.huskers.com .
