2014 Gopher Football poster

Does anyone know how an out-of-the-stater can get one?
 

Wonder how they came up with the set of players that got to be on the poster. Captains? Seems like quite a random assortment.

Correct, no maroon over gold.

The poster is a failure. Establish and identity. BTW I'm tired of the work 'branding'.

The collar on the gold jerseys looks like something California Chrome should be wearing.

And keep off my lawn.

In this day and age of Nike et al driving uniform options we are told its the players who love the look. That's bunk. Its dollars to the program, but it destroys the brand. Oh sure maybe a new program, new leadership, maybe new coaching staff, but ask yourself what team suddenly got better with different uniforms? The University of Minnesota has too often taken the cash and worn some awful uniforms and it did nothing to win column. When it really hits the fan for me is watching a college game on TV and I cannot tell who is playing because of the Nike sell out. When teams run become beholding to Nike, with 4 or 6 different looks and different helmets, someone like the Big 10 needs to step in and say no you cannot do that to the brand. Think for a minute of the teams you instantly recognize. Alabama, Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa. That is branding.

Isn't that what branding(over-used word) really is?

I believe the NFL has a rule that you can not make major uniform changes more that once every five yearsl
 

It's a great poster even though it's missing the all white combo (da best)!! :cool02:

Yeah, it's not like your precious Huskers would ever sell out and wear different uniforms.

Rabble, rabble, rabble. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE HOME UNIFORM COMBINATION IS MAROON OVER GOLD. Rabble, rabble, rabble.
 

What's with the 90's gangsta graffiti font for brick by brick?

Gold over maroon is better. But if we can both agree that the white helmets belong in the storage closet then I'll be happy.

I have no problem with any of the jersey combinations, mainly because I LOVE the new jerseys. I actually liked the White Helmets from the Texas Bowl. The only ones I really disliked were the White Helmets during the Brewster era. But, I also wasn't a huge fan of the jersey scheme then either.
 

I like the white helmets, if you're gonna wear maroon over white, then the white helmet looks better IMO
 


Bump. Anyone know if it's possible to get one of these in the mail? I usually grab one at the state fair but I won't be able to make it this year.
