Uniforms vs. Illinois

[Schnauzer]

White pants at home

the only combo I dislike more is white pants with gold jerseys. Blech.

 

[WriterGoph]

Those are pretty sharp with the white pants and letters/numbers!

 

[spermophilus]

They will be great in the beautiful late autumn sun. Especially if we . . . are concentrating on winning the game!

 

[MGGopher]

Love the helmets, hate the pants.

 

[PoockItInfor6]

Want to buy one of the helmets!

 

[gopheraddict]

Wear the Anthracite just to piss off the old geezers.

Wear maroon and gold to piss off young whippersnappers who have no respect for the old geezers who helped pay for the stadium and the Athlete’s Village, and who endow player scholarships.

Hey some of the young guys are helping pay for it too! .

[Ski-U-Ham]

Love the helmets, hate the pants.

Because it's after Labor Day?

 

[pinky mingo]

Because white pants look like practice uniforms. Ugh

Love the Captain American stripe down the helmet.

Never seen that before but that is a pretty cool graphic.

Not crazy about white pants at home but doesn't bug me as much as it does some others. The helmet looks very cool.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

The guy who tracks uniform combos tweeted that this is the first time they've worn Maroon-Maroon-White under Fleck.

Still haven't worn the same combo twice this year.

 

[Donovan]

I think the white pants would look better if they have a maroon and gold stripe down them.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Did a little look back. We've worn different combos each time.
2011, Maroon helmets, gold jerseys, white pants.

"the one" is coming to Kinnick. I'm sure of it.

Chrome gold, white, maroon. Goldy head. Best uniform in CFB.

 

[go4rob]

Still my favorite.

my favorites as well, wore those in both Rose Bowls (except in the first one, we were the visiting team so it was white jerseys with gold pants, I believe.)

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

I hope the Gophers continue to be undefeated during the White Pants Championship Season.

 

[highwayman]

I kind of like the uniforms they wear when they win.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

They always look good but I like when the pants and jerseys are the same color (gold, white, maroon or anthracite)

 

[FullBanana]

FULL BANANA!!!!!!

Present and accounted for.

It wouldn’t piss us off though.

 

[IceBoxGopher]

I'm really in the minority here because I think the white pants are just fine. In my opinion, they just make the maroon and gold on the uniform "pop" more. Plus, there's history to them since they're what the team wore when they won the title in the 60s.

Gotta think my favorite combo (chrome-maroon-maroon) is being saved for the Wisconsin game. Chrome-white-maroon is easily my favorite road uniform though.

Do they reuse and repaint the helmets, or are they new helmets each week? My wife wants to know. She didn't play football.

Some of both. I believe there are a few shells (maroon, gold, chrome gold, etc) and they can be tweaked with decals each week. The helmets aren't painted, just colored material.

The team has a few helmets, maroon, gold and white, which then have sticker decals added.

Kirkwood's flew off in one game during 2012

Here's a 2017 video of them adding decals
