Bo Pelini told reporters Tuesday at Big Ten media days that the team would break out a new alternate uniform for its Big Ten opener Sept. 27 vs. Illinois. On Friday, Pelini unveiled the new "Red Rising" design at a team meeting. He didn't do it with the help of a mannequin, either. Nope, Pelini entered the room donning the new look himself. Watch the video and see pictures of the new design in this post.

Honoring legends by leading the future. @Huskers celebrate their 125th season with new #RedRising TECHFIT uniforms. pic.twitter.com/HohVbo580U — adidas Football US (@adidasFballUS) August 1, 2014

The Huskers wore a similar all-red adidas alternate vs. Wisconsin in 2012. That one, though, featured a polarizing large "N" on the front of the jersey and a black helmet.

While this helmet isn't black, the overall design isn't shy on the color that is a nod to the program's Blackshirt defense; in fact, the socks and gloves are black and the pants, jersey and (matte) helmet all have black accents.
