Homecoming Uniforms: Numbers on helmets against Maryland.



I like this uniform, even better if they are wearing black shoes! They wore a similar combo against Maryland a few years ago and the Gophers lost. Better luck this time!View attachment 34272
Love that photo- Roger Hagberg putting the game away with a 45-yard run in that historic 1 vs. 2 clash vs Iowa in 1960 (for you young folks who were not around then!
 










Now that gold is back in the jersey rotation, I cannot wait for the gold/white jersey combo!

No matter the helmet option, I think this look with the new template will be awesome! And if not, I will make a bunch of people angry. Win-win 😂😂

That may be my least favorite combo.

Adding some stripes on the pants would help. Otherwise it looks like they are playing in long johns underwear.
 



I think the last time we went this uniform was 2006 and a10-9 win over NDSU.

according to my notes, the W/M/W combo was worn once before during the Fleck era - so sometime between 2017 and now. my list is not broken down by games and seasons. maybe someone else has a more detailed listing?

Since the new unis have the stripes I think it would be a good look now!

Pictures from the game are sparse, but the Gophers wore the same WMW combo with a number on one side of the helmet in the 2013 Texas Bowl vs Syracuse

It really doesn't
I don't think it matters a lot, but I could see a situation where a player is 50/50 between Minnesota and another school and Minnesota having "cooler" uniforms being the thing that pushes them towards Minnesota. Any advantage, even if its very small, helps.

We almost always have really cool uniforms.
I just don't think it matters all that much if at all. I mean, kids still go to Wisconsin.
 

Fleck has gone on record saying current players and recruits love it when they change up their uniforms combinations or wear alternates every once in a while. I can't imagine all of these schools are doing it to purposely cause a negative reaction. We all can probably blame Oregon for this.

Back to my original point, I just like the fact that the program is putting effort into it. Honoring past teams/looks is a good thing. I also love the fact I can choose so many different combinations on the NCAA football game. 😂

Best look of the season so far for the Gophers. Those helmets are absolute beauties

Love these. I don't know why, but they make me think of some of the older Bethune Cookman kits, used to go watch them play when I was kid. BCU would look dope in uni's like these.

Minnesota continues to be the most underrated uniform school out there, always love their unis
 

If recruits like all the different combos, that is really what counts these days. Personally, I like to turn on the channel and instantly know who I’m watching by their uniforms. But that’s just me, and I’m old, now you kids stay off my lawn!

When recruits are thinking about great uniforms I doubt they are considering throw backs.
