Not too big a surprise. I'm not a huge fan of these but they're not bad either.

Wore with Maroon helmets last time. Also a new face mask color for the gold helmets.

Does it look like the helmet stripe and Block M are anthracite as well? The maroon on the collar/sleeves has always looked odd to me on these unis...clashing colors.

I didn't even notice that at first. After watching the video again it does look like the helmet logos & stripe are anthracite.

Holy ****, is this what music has come to? /getoffmylawnbutseriously
 

As I have said before, the matte flat maroon helmets are apparently gone forever. They looked really nice with the anthracite uniforms a couple years ago. Bummer.
 

the flat matte look is out... that's so 2010-ish.
 




Overall I like the look. Biggest issue I have with Gold & Anthracite uniforms is still having "Minnesota" on the back instead of players' names. Not a fan of that at all.

Agree on the matte helmets.
They they should be referred to as "outfits" now. Nothing uniform about them at all. Turn on the TV and you never know who the hell is playing. Oklahoma had on some god awful crap when they lost to the Cyclowns. The footballs gods made them pay for it.
 





The flat matte maroon helmets were great. I too wish they were back.

Can't remember where I heard/read it (I think it was somewhere on a different GH thread) but I remember someone alluding to the fact that the decision to get rid of Matte Helmets was made prior to Fleck even taking over. Would make sense given that he is already working on wholesale changes to the uniforms for next year.
 

Well, I liked the anthracite uniforms, so I'm happy! I think I like the gold helmet on top better, maybe I just like the contrast better. The helmet decals are interesting though, now sure how I feel about them.

I think they should try the matte again, but try to match the color to the maroon on the rest of the uniform better. The old matte helmets were nice, but a way darker maroon compared to everything else they wore.
 

I think these new uni's are great just how they are.
 



I don't like them, but I'm beyond caring about the uniforms at this point.
 


I like the anthracite uniforms as an alternative uniform to be worn occasionally. Will be interesting how they look under the lights with the gold helmets.

I see these uniforms and still think of the Michigan debacle in 2015...1st and goal from the 1/2 yard line, 19 seconds remaining with 1 timeout and Minnesota cannot put the ball in the endzone....well I digress as that is a topic in itself.

I have the exact same flashbacks on the anthracite jerseys too. That dang Michigan game. [emoji22]. I love our gold helmets though no matter if they say ski u mah or row the boat. They’re sharp imo.

They should spend less time worrying about the uniforms and more time trying to win games!!!!!!!!

Did I do that right?
