They have a boat oar on the helmet. I don't care if it's made of 24K solid gold. If your coach has a stupid slogan and you end up with an oar on your helmet, you deserve Bolivia.

looks ok if they stick to maroon helmets

The chrome helmet is bad because you can barely read the M, and white isn't one of their colors.

They should stick with gold pants at home and gold or maroon pants on the road. That  asphalt-gray color is fine for a business suit but looks terrible on a football uniform.

It may be annoying and stupid

It may be annoying and stupid that it gets blasted so widely by media megaphone, but the same has been said by our rivals about the attention Harbaugh gets for his lifestyle. Being logically consistent means separating the thing itself from the attention it receives.

And, it just so happens, that Row The Boat was born of something serious and reasonable that matters: it's a metaphor built out of the spiritual aftermath of his son dying. Even as an agnostic, I find that kind of grieving mechanism equanimous/wise and I think that sharing it to help make young men become better is courageous -- not to mention that it's probably effective.

They put an oar on the helmet and their new motto is about a wide category of aggressive sea creatures.

Aren't they the Gophers?

Let's put a big feather on our pants and replace "Go Blue" with "Soar like a Seagull."

WTF.

Fine with me if they want to go with this "Nekton Mentality" thing. They even have a shark illustration for it in their video. A shark.

For obvious reasons, the next time we play them, they're fucked.

Minnesota has to do something

Minnesota has to do something cool and I think they did a pretty good job. I think they need to stick to their school colors though. Those grey unis just don’t do it for me.

If you ignore the oar (and

If you ignore the oar (and that rhymes and oh man how do I use that to be understatedly ironic) the maroon and white unis look pretty conventional. The numbering is white now, instead of gold, but overall not a huge deal. The oars, of course, are silly, and while I suppose the chrome-plated helmet will be cool, as others have stated it doesn't match the gold they use on their uniforms. 

The "anthracite" look was a bad idea when they debuted it against us in 2015 and it's a bad idea now. It has never stopped striking me as dumb that teams with a perfectly good three-color palette would make black or dark grey a primary uniform color. I can understand it for schools that have one primary color and white (Duke, MSU, Stanford, Texas, Northwestern, etc). I don't always like the uniforms they produce, but an accent color can be good and some of the black options (mid-90s northwestern, mid-00s Duke) are actually really good.

But Minnesota has gold as an available third color and would look much better using it. The same goes for other schools (looking at you, Washington and YTM Miami and Florida and UCLA) that do the same thing. Idiocy.

I suspect 60% of Minnesota's uniform combinations will be fine. Ignore the Oar.

I’m generally a big fan of chrome stuff, but not so much for these. I think if they did a Matte finish with the logo chrome and maybe the edges but the entire thing chrome gold look tacky.

This doesn't work

"Minnesota will have more than 100 possible uniform combinations next season, but will stay true to tradition."

Umm...you can either have 100 uniforms OR stay true to tradition. You can't do both.

Outside of having an oar

on the helmet, I think for the most part they look pretty sharp.

What's Minnesota gonna do when Fleck leaves for another program and takes his "Row the boat" campaign with him? Will they have to change the uniforms back?

I don't think he'll ever be

I don't think he'll ever be good enough to "move up." Their complete failure to adjust to some pretty basic stuff (like, you know, Khaleke Hudson flying into the backfield umolested on every play) told me quite a bit about them. In my limited opinion, anyway.

But it would be hilarious if that happened and they were stuck with these helmets for a year.

That's the least imposing "football player" ever

Nothing about the guy wearing the backwards 'S' 1 jersey looks scary.

So is the shark not part of the logo?

I was really hoping they were going for a gopher-shark hybrid animal for night games.

When hosting the Gophers, I suggest crowds

mock Minnesota with a rendition of "Row, row, row your boat" when up comfortably in the 4th quarter.

Too bad we don't host them next year.  EDIT: I'm over it.
