Helmets



Interesting. I like it as I was never really a fan of any oars or RTB stuff on the actual uniforms.

I know I've read on the pay sites that Fleck wanted to do even crazier stuff with the uniforms this year but was vetoed by the higher-ups.
 

I've heard boat rowing and assorted other nautical terms are being held under water.

Any details or is that all you heard?
 




Those types of photos would just depend on that the equip manager had on and, and/or whatever stock photos the marketing graphics designer guy had on hand.

Would love it if the damn oars were removed from the top middle of the helmets. But I doubt it.

Fleck demands some “RTB-ification” of the uniforms, so he can pimp his personally owned trademark. That was probably one of the minimal ways that the regents could “give him something” without giving away the whole farm.
 

I've no problems with oars.

I would like to see little goldy face stickers!

If the Gophers win the Big Ten we are getting a huge boat with a tiny rose to replace the Gopher as the mascot so Fleck doesn’t go to USC or something

I'll just call BS, and we'll leave it at that.
 

It is interesting that the two official marketing pieces (Twitter banner, single game pic) don't have the paddles.
 



Paddle schmaddle, oar schmoar. I don't care. I'm stepping out to train for my 40-yard dash.

I've heard stretching beforehand could increase injury and slow you down. I suggest you go full out cold for one glorious dash.
 

Lose the oar on the helmet. Please.

Not a fan of the helmet oars at all.

More importantly, my last crucial footrace was on a cold January night outside a bar in Iowa City many years ago after a Gopher/Hawkeye basketball game. I was playing Pop-a-Shot with a Hawkeye fan, then we challenged each other to a sprint. I lost the Pop-a-Shot, but won the sprint.

Since that night, just like Jerry Seinfeld, "I choose not to run."
 

If the official marketing materials don't show the Oars there is a chance they will be dropping them from the helmet. Not a huge fan of them as well so would not be sorry to see them go if that is the case.

Were they in the marketing material last year?
 

Were the oars on the helmets we wore to beat WI and GA Tech to end the year?

Why dont the Gophers go middle ages & @ss kicking helmets? These helmets would make you stand out in FBS. Just paint them in the Gophers collors.

Got 2 other ideas to go along with the football helmets I placed above. You've heard Of the different special conference where the victors take home a trophy like "The Little Brown Jug".

Following FMlizard idea of a rose how about using a mace with the top of mace painted rose read and the shaft painted in Gopher colors

I like this one

The only fiacre row boat you could use is the Viking Long Boat. Made in miniature of lite weight material with 3 rowers on each side & the rudder man steering, breaking and accelerating.

IMPORTANT - remove the usual dragon head from the bow and replace it with a fierce looking Gopher head!

I think the oars on your helmet are a bit much. It's not really the Gophers brand, but a call to success saying?
 


I don't object to subtle oars on the helmets.

What I don't like about the current oars is that as a design element they resemble a helmet stripe. I just happen to prefer the maroon Gopher helmets without a stripe. Same with the metallic gold helmet: no stripe, please. Maybe some smaller crossed oars on the back of the helmet instead.

Then again, I really like the white helmet — and on that particular helmet I do like the stripe/oar. Maybe it's because it reminds me of the early 60s championship-era white helmet with stripe.

The block 'M' should be the dominant design element, in all cases.
 

I like the chrome helmets a lot, honestly. Just lose the oar stripe. A small oar on the sleeve, or whatever, is fine with me. Not on the helmet.

The Gophers should wear this uniform combination in all the games. Home and away. Nothing to do with beating Wisconsin or anything, but because they are by far the team's most attractive set. You could kind of see them realize this late last year. Chrome gold domes, white shirts, maroon pants, and invest in some shiny gold shoes for everyone. No oars.
 

If we get rid of the ugly wide stripe (that is impossible to recognize as an oar without a lot of explaining even why it should be an oar), we can't push the Fleckisms even further: improve your Max(iPad) so you can be recognized as the Kotex of the week.
