What uniform combo should the Gophers wear Thursday night?

[highwayman]

I stand corrected. Didn't know that they kept the same pads. Thanks for sharing

Yeah, they actually switch from the practice helmets (2 year's ago game helmets) to the game helmets each week.

 

[Halsey Hall]

And no pants?

OMG

You're not trying hard enough. You now lead this post with the most responses.

I hope it's MMG, but I fear it will be GGG

8-28-14 6:00 PM can't come soon enough. I don't know how many more uniform color and weather threads I can take. We're focused on the wrong things here. We should be talking about important things like tailgating and stadium beer matters.

Ski-U-Mah and Go Gophers!

Gopher Equipment tweeted it is "highly doubtful" we will see all gold.

So you're sayin there's a chance!

The hardest thing for me, is what is the color of gold? Its not construction yellow. When I think of Gold Helmets, I think of Notre Dame. And then there is the old Gold of Purdue. Someone has the university paint codes and I will assume its mustard yellow.

Gold: R:255 G:204 B:51 (#ffcc33)
Maroon: R:122 G:0 B:25 (#7a0019)

 

[Gopher07]

Gold: R:255 G:204 B:51 (#ffcc33)
Maroon: R:122 G:0 B:25 (#7a0019)

For those curious as to how those translate to the web:

GOLD
MAROON

 

[station19]

Gold: R:255 G:204 B:51 (#ffcc33)
Maroon: R:122 G:0 B:25 (#7a0019)

When did those become official? I'm assuming fairly recently, and that previously each coach decided which shade(s) they liked.

Very Funny

Athletic department standardized in the Brewster era so that all sports are branded the same. I think it coincided with the move to Nike hockey jerseys? I might be wrong on the time period, but it was within the last 10 years.

Lucas told me that the team is coming out with a wind-swept approach tomorrow. Somewhat of a studded look. This was corroborated by Schmitty.

Wise idea or foolish, the U of M has billed this game as a "Gold Out". It'd be insane to not wear the gold jerseys (although I believe they actually did that once). Combine them with the new gold helmets and either the maroon or white pants.

I have to believe at least one part of the uniform has to be gold for a "gold out" game. Would make a lot of sense to break out the new helmets if they are ready to go since they have let the cat out of the bag about having them.

My favorite combo. Should be everyone's favorite.

I don't like the Minnesota on the back of the gold jerseys. Show me the names of the players please. Other than that I like the combo.

It's one of my least favorite. Dark color on top, light color on bottom should be the rule. It looks weird otherwise.

It looks weird? You ought to read what the team says about you!!!

+1

 

[station19]

Notice the tweet said 'yellow' tops?

The gold jerseys are just plain ugly. Minnesota on the back and the ugly colllar. Very poor taste.

Why use ugly combos when you have nice ones?

I would never suggest that jersey style to any of the customers I design uniforms for.

Then why does the BB team wear white for home games so often?
