Looks like the throwbacks are coming a bit of a homecoming tradition!
1960-67Throwback means the Gophers used to wear white helmets and white pants? Anyone have some retro pics of that?

Disagree, there is room for both throwbacks and embracing the current trend of alternate uniforms and looks.Retro and respect for the past is always better than new age crap
Agree on the white pants thing. Not a huge fan of them with any jersey other than white road uniform. But in the case of these throwbacks they make sense.I like these "throwbacks" and that is a rare situation for me because normally I hate white pants at home. Once per season in a sort of a retro configuration works pretty well. It helps a lot that the current uniforms have stripes on the pants.
Really? That seems like an odd take.I will not be surprised if we see a day where the yellow numbers in this combo are illegal and numbers have to be white
At the national high school level they have kind of banned yellow as both a primary and secondary colorReally? That seems like an odd take.
Out of curiosity.....why? Doesn't seem like it would give any kind of advantage in terms of hiding the ball or anything like that.At the national high school level they have kind of banned yellow as both a primary and secondary color
It’s basically trim only.

I was not privy to the choice but I think they don’t like not enough contrastOut of curiosity.....why? Doesn't seem like it would give any kind of advantage in terms of hiding the ball or anything like that.
In addition to it being homecoming, they are honoring the 1960 National Championship team this weekend. Not sure how many of them are still able to attend, but they expect Bobby Bell to be there. I am sure that played a part in adopting this particular uniform.
A Gopher fan should never miss an opportunity stand up and clap for Bobby Bell.
