Copper and Gold

They're probably not wearing new uniforms for the whole season, seeing as how we already have a blackout (CWU), stripe the stadium (Indiana St) and maroon out (MSU) planned as game themes already (unless they just....cancel all of those lol).

Seems like the plan, like some have mentioned, is to sell limited edition merch for the anniversary.

Did you all see the video I posted on a couple of other threads from Nick Tabor and he is in the new football equipment room?

They told him, no new uniforms, still wearing the same ones from the last 4 years or whatever. They also show the black uniforms ready to go for the season and said those were meant to just be a one year, but the players like them.

Tabor asks him if there are any plans for a throwback helmet and he is very evasive and says something like, 'you never know.' He mentions throwback uniforms, same response. Then they asked him about a copper jersey on a desk and that is explained as an old shirt they wrapped up in plastic and put there as a joke to a student that works there.

Could you repost that? I seem to have missed it.

Yeah, I saw all that.

I mean, if they are wearing all copper and gold unis for the entire season, then you're necessarily suggesting that all of their plans I mentioned for game themes are a lie. Maybe that's true, but it would seem really weird to go through all that to then be like "sike!" and have them the whole season. Why have a maroon out if the team is wearing copper? It also doesn't fit this AD's M.O. at all.

We'll certainly see, but I find it extremely unlikely.

I think it is a lot more likely this was supposed to be a big surprise at the Cats game.

I would not every imagine they are wearing those for the entire season, that isn't what I am suggesting. I could see them wearing them for HoF weekend against Eastern, for example, and then selling them like they have done before. Again, not saying that will be the case, but I could see it being done and now it seems like there is a lot of info leaking out that leads one to believe it is not impossible, but only for that one game.

I'd love to see that again. If they are promoting a maroon out though, I think the marketing tendency of this administration is that this will stick for Bozeman. All they have for Eastern is the HoF weekend. How many copper 15 jerseys could they sell for that gala event! 🤩🥳🤪
No redneck Montucky Griz fan could pass by that sale rack and not check their wallet for cash IMO!

My guess is they were planning on wearing something (maybe) for one or both of the games that currently have no theme announced: Idaho and Cal Poly (Homecoming).

Plus, and maybe this is just me, but the 2008 Brawl bait and switch was awesome. Doing it again now feels a lot less exciting. I love the look of our all maroon jerseys in the home brawl, which we haven't done in a while, and I wish they'd bring back.

I had to look it up. It makes no more sense still.
The image I had of your first post was the first thing my wife and I do when we get into Missoula, since it's just us, after two long days on the road or six hours in the air with a layover is check into our lodging. If it it's too early for that, the Bearkat fan can get hangry, and she will suggest a burger and a beer at the Mo Club.
If some silly version of racquetball is more your thing though, have at it, we appreciate an empty seat at the bar. :D

I mean, I KNOW what jai alai is. We actually played it when I was in grade school at Jefferson in Missoula. I just don't get CDA's humor sometimes. I thought there must be something more to his comment that I was somehow missing.

And the first thing I do when I get to Missoula Is hug my mom and dad, and then head to their house to spend some quality family time together. After that it's grizzly football game(s). Sometimes We do go shopping for Griz gear, but it's not high on my list of priorities.

It should be the Bobcats. No game is more important and the throwback scheme will never get stale.
