The 1983 Nebraska football team was nicknamed “The Scoring Explosion”, set several NCAA records, and made Tom Osborne’s “go for the win” mentality legend when they went for the two-point conversion against Miami in the Orange Bowl.
That team now has another honor: 2022 throwback alternate uniforms.

The 2022 edition of Husker football will honor its past with tribute alternates. The uniforms feature an 80s style mesh red top, the N on the outside of the shoulder, and dual red pipes on the white pants.

No official announcement has been made for which game will have the alternates in use, but a good guess would be Sept. 17 when Oklahoma returns to Lincoln.
