you know I think these colors are okay. However, I hope we don't totally abandon the Green and white uniformsthe answer to that is 1971 - when jack lengyel added two 1/2" black stripes on the
sides of the young thundering herd's game pants and two black stripes on the helmets
in honor of the 75 who died November 14, 1970.
I think it is more than fitting to continue that tribute.

Relating MU slowly adding black as a third color in the mid-2010s to a black stripe added in 1971 is unrealistic. And it does not explain the use of the color in other sports.
Remember, MU has also used yellow (late Sonny era), and Silver (Chaump era) as third colors. Explain those.
I suspect that this whole era of goofy uniform variations every week is already starting to burn itself out. Oregon/Nike has run out of ideas and everybody else will too soon.
Why we have abandoned the kelly green jerseys and white pants combo for home games is beyond me. The green pants with black stripe or whatever it is, that we have now are hideous.
because captains get to vote on the uniform combination.
I'm a YUGE fan of this combo. It just stands out.Personally I think the uni combs this year have been the best in years. Especially this one worn at NC State.

Why does this thread continuously come up? Hell let’s change school colors to pink and chartreuse- something no other college team has. Then add black to it.
