Just listened to the Sid-Dave show segment with Coach Fleck.
As I'm sure S.O.N. will report Coach said the kids love them...so we might as well get used to it. He'll do his best to connect the school colors with the past, present, and future Gophers football team but the uniform thing is all about recruiting.
Now it's the anthracite look that's hot...who knows what it will be in two years. Whatever it is we should expect the Gophers to be showing it.
BTW...I like the idea of calling them "taconite" instead of anthracite. Taconite is a somewhat gray mineral and is certainly Minnesota.

You can see Fleck's answer on the Sports Huddle interview thread. But - for the traditionalists - Fleck said they will have alternate uniforms - in fact, his exact quote was "We'll be on the cutting edge" of this. The anthracite could be tame compared to what shows up in the future.
