I agree with the names being pulled from the back. I could live with it once per season but now it appears they are going to do this every game, which is very lame in my opinion. It just looks dumb to me.
These uniforms are a step backwards to me from the very sharp looking uniforms of the Kill era. I’d rank the current uniforms in about a tie with Mason era uniforms but ahead of the Brewster models.
Some of the colors, specifically the anthracite and even the gold look a bit “washed out” compared to their Kill-era counterparts.
The reflective gold helmets look like they are about 10 years too late to register as “cool” and as many have complained about - the beaver tail stripes are not to my taste at all.
All in all, Gopher uniforms are now somewhere between “yawn” and “meh” to me. Unfortunately we are stuck with them for a while with not even easy fixes (pull off the beaver tails, put player names on the back) being accomplished.
And yes, our helmet decals were having major problems yesterday for several players. This didn’t seem to be an issue for Purdue. But I’d rather come in first place on the scoreboard if we can’t have everything.
