DNAsports 4,944 Posted February 21, 2018 Minnesota, for the most part, keeps looking more and more like what the Redskins would if they ever chose to redesign their uniforms. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianoknight 2,991 Posted February 21, 2018 "We're connecting them all together...no, literally. Like we just threw all the uniforms in a blender and this popped out. It's the fabric version of a KFC Bowl." If only Minnesota had some pre-existing, unique phrase they could have used instead of "Row the Boat." Something that really conveyed that Ski-U-Mah feeling, you know? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a great quote. Some of the first DC concepts I can remember were supposedly semi-officially considered. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
__taylorc 29 Posted February 22, 2018 As a current Western Michigan student I am glad to see that we don't have to deal with Fleck's uniform designs........I am honestly just speechless as to how bad Minnesota's new set is 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sedpredictsports 67 Posted February 22, 2018 Minnesota’s new uniforms have a few decent combinations with this set. Helmet jersey pants maroon white maroon (best away set) White Maroon White (best home set) maroon white Gold white White White Maroon white White white White Maroon maroon maroon white (average look) the only decent look possible with the chrome helmet is Chrome helmet white jersey and maroon pants. There is some good in these uniforms, overall they just made some bad decisions. Why not have gold collars with the maroon jersey? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, but wonder how far it can go. Minnesota is already a solid team in a great P5 conference. The only place to move up to is a top tier P5 team like Texas, USC, Penn State, etc. And the big thing about that upper tier is that they got there because of their traditions. I just can't see Notre Dame or Clemson jumping on Fleck's bandrowboat. Maybe a "counterculture" school like Oregon or Maryland might work, but that's a small pool and mostly a lateral move. I feel like the only schools that will put up with his circlejerking are G5 or lower end P5. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Webfooter 933 Posted February 22, 2018 There's almost no defending Minnesota's design choices here, especially with Fleck insisting on putting all his stupid RTB stuff on them. The maroon helmet looks odd when paired with the maroon jersey due to it having no white. The chrome helmet and anthracite uniforms don't work at all. Only good combo is maroon helmet, white jersey, and maroon pants. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It deserves a lot of praise. If they add a Navy helmet and a white helmet that both have the double stripe motif the set will be golden. These uniforms are beautiful, and like many people have said, it would’ve looked great if Arizona would’ve done this (imagine the orange replaced with red and you got a solid Arizona look). Here’s a possible combination list that I’d like to see Helmet Jersey Pants White Navy White (home) White White Navy (Away) White White White Navy White Navy White Orange White (possibly a throwback helmet) Navy Orange Navy white Navy Navy (for a big home night game) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintau24 1,533 Posted February 22, 2018 Who does this say more about? PJ Fleck's terrible mantras, design choices, and pushing his own branding on others? Or Minnesota for buying it all hook, line, and sinker? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
