To mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack, Nebraska will wear all-white camouflage-style uniforms in their Sept. 11 nonconference football game against Buffalo.

The uniforms are a tribute to first responders and military service members and were unveiled on social media Tuesday morning in a video featuring Husker outside linebacker Damian Jackson, a former Navy SEAL. A number of fans got a look at the uniforms earlier in the month when the footage was filmed in Lincoln's Havelock neighborhood.

Twenty years ago, Nebraska's Sept. 20 game against Rice was the first major college football game to take place after 9/11. The video shows a portion of that game's Tunnel Walk; you can view the full Tunnel Walk here.
