All Things New Gopher Uniforms/Helmets Thread: UPDATED 1/20 with New Uniforms!!!

[GopherInPittsburgh]

Nope! If they aren't leather helmets and maroon sweaters with gold letters I will not be happy! (that's what they looked like back when we were a powerhouse, right? I've never seen one not in a black and white picture)
I hope everyone gets what I'm saying here...

I'm with ya there.

"We went with a black motif, which is modern while maintaining traditional elements. The extreme-elite black jersey blends seamlessly into the sport-tech high performance black pants. Black piping on the shoulders represents the soil, a salute to Minnesota's agricultural heritage, while the black PowerForce hyper-threading on the collar represents the dark, mysterious eyes of a gopher. The black numbers are accented with a brick texture pattern in black-on-black."

Then just get black turf to go with it... (that might actually look pretty cool)

Then play night games only, without lighting. Unstoppable.

Formo won the Facebook contest

Sorry, meant besides our boy Formo and the other poster (sorry! you're newer and I'm working off my phone so I don't want to hunt through the thread for your moniker).

This is awesome LOL

Heard they might look something like this.

 

[Parski1]

According to my sources it's going to look like this but gold.

Where did you hear this? I would be cool with those, though. Pretty cool design, like the knee pads.

 

[gophergrad]

It does incorporate bricks... It does it in a pretty subtle way but it should be just enough to really piss some people off...

I hope it's without the long faces....

 

[dpodoll68]

Anything approximating either of those would be terrible and a huge letdown.

I was obviously joking.

I think you heard wrong, close but wrong.

I can work with that for our Pro Combats.

 

[ButchNashGuy]

Weren't there some hints in the twitterverse about "brick by brick" or something about a nod to our former stadium? (Not the dump) Does anyone remember that? I noticed the mock up that you have here looks like some brick patterns.

 

[GoAUpher]

Hypothetically you mean? Thus far there are no Pro Combats announced.

 

[zambam]

I believe someone posted an article back when people were saying they would never want us to get Pro Combats which said that the Gophers are getting Pro Combats for next year.

I can't prove you wrong, but my recollection is different. As I recall there were lots of rumors of Pro Combats but no links. Which makes sense b/c I don't recall Nike ever announcing their lineup of Pro Combat teams this early (before the current season was over) in the past.

Golden Gopher Gridiron just put up a teaser video with player reactions for the new unis. Pretty basic, nothing too exciting. Sounds like there will be at least 8 uniform combinations though:

 

[gall0249]

at the end of the video you can hear "i feel these white jerseys" so hopefully that will calm some of the people complaining about black uni's.

That's always a bad sign.

I would be shocked if there wasn't a white jersey. So would the NCAA.

How do you figure?

(jersey/pants)

gold/gold
gold/maroon
gold/white
maroon/gold
maroon/maroon
maroon/white
white/gold
white/maroon
white/white

There are 9 options available to us currently, none of which involves your all-encompassing fear of anything black.
