WSU151 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Best Gophers set since the Maroney/Barber era. 4 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I do really like Minnesota’s new set, much like on UW they do seems like a quasi-throwback to a 70s set. However, my concern is that Baylor and now Minnesota have unveiled uniforms with similar theming and it makes me wonder is this is Nikes new MO: put the team in stripes to harken back to a classic look. It makes me wonder if Boise is also going to get this (or a similar look) and other teams in need of a refresh will as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 2 new uniforms revealed and both feature classic striping, no piping, no black and no neon. Have the Nike HQ's been hacked?? 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the Nike HQ's been hacked?? This has been going on for several seasons now. Oklahoma State just did it last offseason, and Syracuse did it a few years back (lest we all forget the 44° angle scan line stuff). I don't even think this is Nike per se; it's just the [design] cycle we're in. Nostalgia/traditional is back in style and many teams are riding the wave. 7 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 A much needed upgrade for the Gophers. Love that yellow/athletic gold is a focus of the look again. Hopefully this means that they will stop trying to shoehorn metallic gold into the the primary uniforms. The set could use a change away from the wood grain striping on the helmet, but PJ Fleck is going to PJ Fleck I guess. Probably will see a black or anthracite site down the road at some point. 1 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Also, props to Minnesota for mixing and matching during the unveiling. Proves it’s possible to not roll out three monochrome sets. 3 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't see it happening, but with the popularity of the modernized throwback logo, it wouldn't shock me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason the Alamodome doesn't get the Big XII championship anymore is the lack of amenities for the big wigs. They've upgraded the suites, but they aren't able to add more without tearing apart the third and second levels of the stadium. Since they host multiple events throughout the year, they aren't going to do that and lose all that revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I do appreciate this new focus overall, I give it 3-4 years before we go back to uber-modern looks. Trends come and go in waves. Right now, it's traditional striping, script logo helmets, and whiteouts. 1 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic and simple has been Nike's shtick in college sports for years now. It's their recent NFL/NBA/MLB work that makes people think otherwise, though they overlook that Nike is beholden to the whims of egomaniac billionaire owners in those leagues who want to put their personal stamp on their teams. 3 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 My only gripe with the new Minnesota unis are the stripes on the gold uni. I don't think the W/G/W works on the gold base. The gold pants got it right M/W/M, not sure why the jersey uses a different pattern. I always think striping looks best when the outside color has the most contrast with the jersey base. Idea 1: Match gold pants Idea 2: Mono stripes Bonus thought: I love that the striping matches their logo! Proportions are a little different but still great! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasaltvanilla Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Better than the first Fleck set, worse than the Kill set. Never seen a gold Gophers helmet that I liked. Mono stripes would look better on the gold and maroon sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The more I look at these uniforms, the worse they get. None of the stripes match at all. The 2012 uniforms were pretty dull design-wise, but they were at least consistent. 4 1 6 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Another awesome throwback set, this time from Bowling Green. This is the only look we’ve got so far, so hopefully there’s orange helmets coming soon. 6 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
