The Gophers had maroon (or mostly maroon) jerseys with gold pants until Bierman, who went with all-gold. After WWII, for some reason, they went to white jerseys or sometimes maroon. Starting with Fesler in '51, maroon, which has been the basic color ever since, with a couple of exception years. That's our basic home uniform, but it does strongly resemble USC and AZ State. The all-maroons, worn now and then in recent years, looked good, too. What they wore Saturday was garish. We should have a basic home uniform and a basic road uniform (with some gold in it, maroon & white is ugly and all-white is blah, bland) and then have a special uniform for maybe one, at most two games a season. All this gray, black, day-glo, Haloween stuff all over the nation has been ugliness personified - notice that USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, have mostly shied away from it. Auburn has a great home uniform, which they've never changed. Arizona had one that was very similar, which they have ditched for the wildest, ugliest uniforms other than those at Oregon (some of which have actually been pretty cool, but they can't settle on one or even two).
You better get back to the nursing home. You left your room unannounced and now everyone is worried sick looking for you!
