Lived the look today. My favorite color combo. #2 is the gold top maroon bottoms which should be worn for "solid gold" days (not the all gold IMO...). The new maroon is the sharpest looking I've seen, well, ever. I tend to like the darker shades (not USC/ISU cardinal), but the Brewster era ones were a bit brown. Conversely, Mason era ones looked a little red (unless sweated in). These are perfect.
I know all white was not an option for a home game, but I'm not really a fan anyway. I think white on gold pants is the best away look. With the maroon helmet you get our 2 major colors in while highlighting gold.
Side note: I'm really pleased the marketing department recognizes the value in a "brand." Did anyone notice that ALL lettering in the stadium (besides previously affixed items) has the new font? The numbers/words on the scoreboard had the same font as our jerseys. Same with the cheerleader cards. Etc. Makes you feel like that is OUR font, a MINNESOTA look. It's important.
Side note 2: they used the full video board for replays and some videos (including the one before the team entered). Finally. Awesome.
