Ha. I came up with a very similar concept while watching the Little Brown Jug game. Similar thought process too on linking the "Minnesota" stripe to the other teams, although the seed of it was echoing the striping of the block M (hence why the helmet stripe is a full Northwestern configuration). The Wild use the skinny stripe-thick stripe as well.
Solid work throughout this thread.
On paper I probably generally agree with you, but as aforementioned, it feels particularly appropriate for the Golden Gophers. And maybe because it's a very autumnal color scheme, but it just screams classic B1G fall football to me.
Pizza slice only
Pizza slice recolored/resized in a way I think makes more sense (and gets ride of the beveling on the sticks, which I think looks dumb). My preferred look overall
No pizza no puck
