The jerseys are so freaking tight they look like the players have been dipped in plastic. That's got to be the most uncomfortable thing imaginable, and it looks disgustingly ugly, IMO.

The bloody New York Giants were the first to don this nasty look, and then others followed suit in lockstep.ASUMountaineer wrote:What does "NYG dipped-in-plastic look" mean?

Nebraska defense has been using the Blackshirts since the 1960's in practice. It is an honor for Husker players to wear the Blackshirts in practice, this is probably a jersey in honor of the defense.

The term originally dates back to the early 1960s and refers to the black practice jerseys that Nebraska's first-string defenders began to wear during practice. The National Collegiate Athletic Association had recently changed rules which permitted two-platoon football teams (different players dedicated to offense and defense), and Head Coach Bob Devaney desired to have the two squads visually distinguishable during practice by having the two units wear different colors.
Assistant Coach Mike Corgan was tasked with obtaining the New Jersey pullovers. The sporting goods store he visited reportedly gave him a good deal on black, because the color had apparently not been selling well.[1] The new jerseys were then assigned to be worn by the Nebraska defensive players during practice.
Quickly identifying starting defensive players by the black jerseys they wore on the field made coaching them much more efficient. The unmarked black jerseys were collected each day for laundering and then redistributed during the next practice. After a time, the black jerseys were only given to the defensive players who practiced and performed well. "There probably wasn't a day when we didn't make switches," said George Kelly, Defensive Line Coach for Nebraska from 1960-1968.
