bucskick20 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Here it is. It is another Appleworks concept. Tell me what you think.HOMEAWAYI went with the all white look on the away because I like all white away and maroon pants don't look good and I decided not to do the gold pants.

VitaminD Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Honestly, I really really like these.You pretty much need to avoid gold pants - or you'll be labeled a Southern Cal clone. Maroon pants... eh, maybe. But I love the UCLA-style stripes. I love that there's no white on the maroon jerseys.My lone suggestion is on the white jerseys - maybe add a gold stripe in the middle of the 2 maroon shoulder stripes. The Golden Gophers should have a little gold in the jersey, or you start wandering into Indiana/Oklahoma territory with just maroon and white. Beyond that, well done. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Robert89 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I'm not liking the away. It needs gold. Other than that, they look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gophers already have gold pants though and have for quite some time so I dont think they could call it a USC rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 The Gophers already have gold pants though and have for quite some time so I dont think they could call it a USC rip off. You're correct, but you added an element to Minnesota's look that resembles USC's shoulder inserts. Keeping the gold pants while adding shoulder designs would bring them closer to USC's look, which is what I meant. For what they wear now, gold pants are fine. But for your concept, I like the direction you went in better, with the white pants. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it...

spyboy1 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you are going to have maroon/gold/maroon stripes on the white pants, you really have to be consistant and have the same on the shoulder stripes.

Mingjai Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Since you're going with white pants, I'd like to see you add a gold alternate jersey to the mix. From what I understand, the Golden part of the Gophers' nickname comes from the gold jerseys they wore in their glory days.

Thunderstruk Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Sharp!! Very sharp!! I usually don't like all white but there is something I like about these!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucskick20 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks for the Suggestions, I might do some of the idea's. I have to figure out a way of fixing the away to add gold. If you don't think about adding the gold, It looks pretty good. But they are the GOLDEN Gophers so that should probably be added somewhere.

winghaz Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I believe the Gophers once wore UCLA-style shoulder stripes, back in the 1950s and maybe early '60s. So it wouldn't be totally new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucskick20 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Here is Bobby Cox of the 1956 Golden Gopher Football team. Maybe it was changed soon after, but I never saw them wearing California Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Here's a picture of the Gophers' 1960 Outland Trophy winner Tom Brown. Judging from the pictures I've seen, only their away jerseys had the Cali-stripes. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucskick20 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah, I like the Cali stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Very nicely done. The all white look is great. I love how you limited the color pallette to just maroon and yellow on the home set. My only suggestion is just to put slightly more yellow on the Road jersey, possibly in between the two maroon Cali stripes. Just a thought.

winghaz Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I also believe those old road uniforms for the Gophers had gold on the inside of those UCLA-style stripes. And that would look great on the Gophers.One problem, though: Would that make them look too much like the Vikings? At least on the road uniforms?

cableguy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 My suggestion or comment would be directed towards the dark jersey and white pants...there is too much gold and maroon in the jersey to have white pants since there is no white in the jersey, perhaps white numbers trimmed in gold would match the white pants better.I actually like the Gophers current uniforms just the way they are (even though they are almost identical to Southern Cal) but this is an interesting concept none the less.
