Gopher Football to wear 1960 Throwback vs. NDSU

[no97]

A story in the Fargo Forum details how the Minnesota Golden Gophers will wear throwbacks for their October 21st game vs. North Dakota State at the Metrodome. Here's the team pic from 1960:

And a close-up of the helmet:

Also detailed in the article, is that the NDSU football team would ditch the road unis, as part of a switch to Nike, as folks complained that the numbers were hard to read (yellow on white):

thats kinda cool (maybe scary) that NDSU will get nike unis. Its good because the away unis were the same style as SDSU, if they are supposed to be the new rival in DI, then you cant have the same unis.

I like the Gophers throwbacks. I didn't know they were playing the Bison this year.

On a seperate yet related note: I hate NDSU.

Thanks for listening. Go Sioux.

For a one time only deal, I like them, especially the helmet.

Very cool to hear.
