Looks like Fletcher has spent some time in the weight room . . . and has adopted Spanberger’s old number . . . .
I’m old and I guess I’m a traditionalist. The Razorback color is cardinal not Nebraska red. But…if the kids like them and they win, I guess it doesn’t matter. However, I love it when they wear the old “throw back” uniforms.
I have seen these uniforms. They are not that bright of a red. Those pictures were probably taken under a light kit and doctored a little.
When I saw them first hand, I thought they looked like the right color red. I thought they looked cool.
I’m thinking the color of the socks in the above pictures is more representative of the true shade than the other pics. Does that match with your eyeball assessment, Matt (or Clay)?
As you mentioned above, Matt, and I have reminded many about here on several occasions (as you know, uniforms/colors are a favorite off-season topic), lighting has a great deal of impact on what colors look like on a board like this. Most especially when comparing pictures from one day (and lighting environment) to another.
I bought a jersey at the Razorback shop at Pinnacle today. The color is spot on.
Yep - but, that’s the “old” style, not the new one that people had questioned regarding the color selection.
Still, I suspect it’s the same shade and lighting is the “culprit” in the few pics that have been released.

[/quote]Since the jersey is a Nike product, I would think that they have the color figured out. 
I tend to be a bit of a traditionalist…I love this look.

Yes, logic/common sense would tell us that Nike should be using the same color of cardinal that they have been using since we moved back to Nike (from Adidas) a few years ago. I understand that, and would be very surprised if it were otherwise.
That said, the comments of concern made by others (not me 
) in this thread were about - specifically - the new jerseys pictured in the OP. I will admit that in THOSE pics (the only ones out so far as I know), the shade does look a little different. I tried to explain the most likely reason for that with my comments on lighting (and exposure settings, for that matter) varying from picture to picture of the same item/color.
In that context, showing a picture of a prior version of the jersey - which, by the way, most of us have already seen in person and on TV for the last few years - doesn’t directly address what the new jerseys look like, side by side the the former version. We assume and think it will be the same color, but the only “true” way we will know is when we see them (new jerseys) ourselves, in “regular” lighting. I very strongly suspect that, as you postulate, when we do see them, the shade of cardinal will be exactly the same as it is on the jersey you just purchased.
Here (below) is a picture of our then “new” Nike football uniforms when we switched back from Adidas before Ryan Mallett’s senior season (2009). It was noted at the time - and can be seen in this picture - that the red in that picture appears to be somewhat “brighter” than what most consider our “Razorback Red” to be. Again - the lighting conditions during that photo shoot are the reason. When they were seen in person (see the pic from game action, bottom) - the shade was the same as what we see in your recently purchased jersey.
OK . . . got the HI Baseball preview Magazine, and the cover picture (taken, I presume, by HI photographer) shows the color “in a better light”. Spot on with the old version, as expected.
I like them! Kinda remind me of the road football unis we wore during the better Petrino seasons.
