Love all combos as long as jerseys and pants are the same color (white, gold, or maroon).
Let's have our traditional home unis instead of all this jumping around with various combinations.

Maroon helmet, Maroon jersey and gold pants is the best look the Gophers have. I could see wearing the Gold helmet at night to get a little contrast going with TCU's black helmet though, especially since there will be some twilight shadows that time of day 07:45 to 08:00 PMIsh.
Does anyone know with which uni combo the Gophers have the most wins under Jerry Kill?
I will not be surprised if it is with MMG (helmet,jersey,pants).
That is the uni they ought to wear on September 3rd opener.
Helmet/Jersey/Pants
Maroon/Gold/Maroon - 3-0
Agree 100%, in fact it's the best combo we have.
Gold, Gold, Gold! All Gold, All the time!

Not Maroon
Some or maybe all of Gophers Maroon uniforms appear to be a color known as Chicago Maroon, which is Virginia Tech's primary school color. Maybe they got a discount on a group buy and figured wtf, Chicago Maroon, Maroon... Who's gonna know
When 1933 arrived, school president of four years Robert Hutchins decided to eliminate football from the university. It was a part of his plan to eliminate things from the school that would be a "distraction" to the student body and the professors.
He hated the idea of an athlete being seen as a role model of any kind and he hated the popularity that footballers had gained around campus. First, he eliminated the PE major. Then, he forced Stagg to retire and prevented the coach that replaced Stagg (Clark Shaughnessy) from recruiting players.
That would cause any football program to fall on hard times. The Maroons became terrible. They were outscored 308-37 in the 1939 season. The last Big Ten victory was in '36.
After the 1939 season, Hutchins abolished football at Chicago University. And he did it during Christmas break, while the students were off campus. This decision (along with Hutchins eliminating fraternities and religious organizations from campus) caused a decrease in enrollment and financial backing.
Chicago University apparently chose Black even though they were called the maroons. There is a color called Chicago maroon though. I'll see if I can find it, back in a sec
....... Here, Chicago Maroon is Virginia Tech school color
