I think we should have worn dark mode against the black shirts. A bit of a troll move.

You sir are 100% wrong!!100 percent better than the full banana ugliness.
He is 100% correctYou sir are 100% wrong!!
Chrome Goldy, White, Maroon pleaseI’ll bet we see a lot of gold next week
Must be a Paul Lukas fanI’m thinking it’ll be BFBS this week against Eastern Michigan. Gopher Football posted a twit previewing the game with those unis pictured.
Chrome Goldy, White, Maroon please
Spot on. This has nothing to do with what anyone on this board likes or fans in general. This is totally about what the players want. This was really started by Oregon and if you watch weekly you will find that they are often not loyal to the schools color scheme. However, I would wager if you did a survey of the current MN players and asked if they like what the Ducks do with their uniforms the vast majority would say they love it.Black and white are every schools colors. They look so clean and we wear them against someone we never have/may not ever play again, go crazy. The recruits and players love them and they’ll look great getting circulated on social media.
I love the Anthracite jerseys. Are they still around?Not a fan of them at all no matter what helmet they pair it with. I'd rather they wear the anthracite ones over black.
Mick singing the anthem?I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black.......
I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah
Go Gophers!!
If Oregon hasn't done it, it can't be doneI want all chrome uni's. Is that possible?
So I stand corrected. These photos definitely show the maroon trimmed numbers. The video and still shot posted earlier looked like the maroon trim was gone.
Go Gophers!!
Perfect!Even with the brilliant mind of a professor, this is the closest we have come....

Anything that replaces the white trim with either gold or maroon. So, the compromise is better to me.View attachment 26822
Regarding tonight’s black uniforms, do you agree with the Gopher’s design, or a compromise to bridge the gap between old and new school, or going all-in with black ruling over school colors?
I wonder if this is still actually true. When black uniforms were rare, I think you are correct. However, today it appears 80% of schools are now sporting black. It’s not unique, in fact they are common. I saw several teams sporting them this weekend.Black and white are every schools colors.

Yes! All this "the players love them" is such BS. They'll love anything you put in front of them and hype up.I wonder if this is still actually true.

I also would like to perform an anonymous poll with the players and ask them if they like them. I wouldn’t be surprised if many voted either “dislike” or “indifferent.” Of course they are all cheering when you see videos at the unveiling. What are they going to do, sit there and not cheer?
I’d also like to see a poll of top high school football prospects and ask them if they prefer old school uniforms like Penn State, Alabama, Michigan, etc….or do they prefer schools that sport multiple color uniforms like Oregon (and most schools today). I honestly have no idea on the answer.
Lastly, probably no surprise after reading this post, I hated the uniforms Saturday.
So I revoke standing corrected. The numbers were not trimmed in maroon, which looks better, even though I'm not a fan of these uniforms.So I stand corrected. These photos definitely show the maroon trimmed numbers. The video and still shot posted earlier looked like the maroon trim was gone.
The kids like what everybody else is doing.Yes! All this "the players love them" is such BS. They'll love anything you put in front of them and hype up.
