The Nebraska basketball team will sport special uniforms in honor of Black History Month, Adidas and Nebraska announced Tuesday.

The uniforms pay tribute to Wilbur Wood, the Huskers’ first African-American basketball player. Wood lettered from 1908 to 1910 and was one of the first black players to gain prominence in college hoops.

The throwback uniforms feature scarlet tones and a horizontal cream stripe, with the classic N logo on display. In a modern update, the uniforms feature block numbering below the stripe and on the jersey back.

The Huskers will also lace up special sneakers with cream tones, dark brown contrasts and gold accents.

Nebraska will sport the uniforms on Feb. 13 against Penn State at Pinnacle Bank Arena, as well as during road games at Indiana (Feb. 17) and at Penn State (Feb. 25).

Here's the first photo of the uniforms:
