Football-specific modernized Herbie Husker mascot logo with a red cowboy hat, blonde hair, blue overalls with the Iron N in the front and an ear of corn in his left pocket. In this version he is holding a football in his right hand and pointing #1 with his left hand. Nebraska Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Trev Alberts and University leaders led the initiative to develop an updated and modernized version of the Herbie Husker logo and costume. The return to a Herbie Husker costume and logo that closely resembles the original version comes as Nebraska celebrates the 50th year of Herbie Husker (1974). Alberts and University leadership have also placed a priority on embracing the Cornhusker tradition and the agricultural background of the state of Nebraska. Led by Director of Licensing Lonna Henrichs and Spirit Squad Head Coach Erynn Butzke, Nebraska Athletics began working with Torch Creative in January of 2022 to develop the new logos. Throughout the process, the focus remained on digitally updating the beloved Herbie mark that features blonde hair, overalls, and an ear of corn in his pocket. In addition to the primary Herbie Husker logo, sport specific logos were created for 8 of Nebraska`s varsity programs.
