You are correct. Here is the rule from the ncaa rule book:


Contrasting Colors
ARTICLE 3. a. Players of opposing teams shall wear jerseys of contrasting
colors. Players on the same team shall wear jerseys of the same color and
design.
1. The visiting team shall wear white jerseys; however, the home team
may wear white jerseys if the teams have agreed in writing before the
season.
2. If the home team wears colored jerseys, the visiting team may also
wear colored jerseys, if and only if the following conditions have
been satisfied:
(a) The home team has agreed in writing prior to the game; andFR-32 Rule 1-4 / The Game, Field, PlayeRsand equiPmenT
(b) The conference of the home team certifies that the jersey of the
visiting team is of a contrasting color.
3. If on the kickoff at the start of each half the visiting team wears a
colored jersey in violation of the conditions specified in Rule 1-4-3-
a-2 (above), it is a foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.
PENALTY—Administer as a dead-ball foul. 15 yards at the succeeding
spot after the kickoff. If the kickoff is returned for a
touchdown, the penalty is assessed either on the try or
on the succeeding kickoff, at the option of the home team
[S27].
b. A white jersey is one with only contrasting playing numbers, player’s
name, school name, NCAA Football logo, school insignia, conference
insignia, mascot insignia, game insignia, memorial insignia or the
American flag attached. An insignia must not exceed 16 square inches
in area (i.e., rectangle, square, parallelogram), including any additional
material (e.g., patch). Stripes may be placed on the sleeves. A border not
more than 1 inch wide around the collar and cuffs is permissible, as is a
maximum 4-inch stripe along the side seam (insert from the underarm to
pants top).
c. If a colored jersey contains white, it may appear only as a number,
border of a number, player’s name, school name, stripes on the sleeves,
a border not more than 1 inch wide around the collar and cuffs, a
maximum 4-inch stripe along the side seam (insert from the underarm to
pants top), or as part of a legal insignia (Rule 1-4-3-b).
d. If worn, gloves or hand pads must be gray in color on the back, including
the backs of the fingers. It is strongly recommended that the palms also
be gray; however, black on the palms is acceptable. The recommended
shades of gray are Pantone Cool Gray 8C, Cool Gray 9C, 423C and
430C.
PENALTY [b-d]—One charged team timeout per half

I saw recently that the glove rule has been abolished (thank God!).
 

Might be worth the penalty if the opposing quarterback is color blind.
 





Sarcasm noted....but you have to agree that it's frustrating we can't get high quality jerseys like some schools do (this includes hockey as well).
 








"@GoldenGopherFB: Looks like August 1. RT @TheToddFrater: @GoldenGopherFB when are the new jerseys gonna be available to purchase?"

Go Gophers!!

My guess is they will update the nose bumper of the helmet, replacing 'Riddel' with the Block M.
 

I purchased one of the white game used helmets and they used decal stickers to cover up the manufacturer logos.
 

Are they going to go with facemasks this year?
 

The helmet displayed w/ the black jawpads has no stickers or decals on it yet hence no block M on the front bumper. That's usually done after the facemask are added unless the helmets are painted instead of decals like Michigan's helmet. I would imagine all the helmets will have the block M decal on the front bumper. I think it's interesting how the Riddell on both front and back bumpers is now raised to stand out more. I know they've been doing that for the past few seasons. Most college teams cover them up w/ conference or team decals. Most NFL teams have leave it exposed or switch to blank bumpers. The black jawpads have been used by teams for years (Vandy and Mizzou are a few teams I've seen them on).

How did you get your hands on a white helmet? I have been looking for one.

Gophersports.com was selling them before last season started. I picked one up too. It's pretty great, I wear it most weekends when I'm drinking.
