Those unis honestly look the same to me as what Mizzou's worn all year.

They are. Minor tweaks from week to week, except for the helmet.

I hate constant rotation, but the kids / recruits are supposed to like it. So let it be, I suppose.

Our gold is weird. It's supposed to be old gold, but for years there have been different shades of gold for different things Including the old helmets having a real gold M on the side, while the gold pants were yellowish.

The Gold has been pretty much standardized with the new Nike thing, but it's more yellow than it is gold because gold fabric looks very mustardy unless it's got some spandex/elastic in it to make it shine.

The Gray/Anthracite is supposed to represent the stealths over at Whiteman AFB and Mizzou used to have awesome B2 Stealth Bomber flyovers before they stopped them. Thanks Obama. LINK

I mentioned it on the Mizzou board, but people are saying this will be Mizzou's first time wearing white with the gold pants since the Cotton Bowl vs Arkansas.

I like that symbolism. But that's not my favorite combination. Just being honest.

Ya know, I can definitely be classified as a "traditionalist" when it comes the uniforms, but these really aren't too bad. I borderline like them. I like the striping on the pants and helmet (which y'all have been wearing all along), and the matte shoulder pad color looks good with the darker collar. The helmet logo is better than the obnoxiously large tiger head. However, I was hoping y'all were going to roll out with these (helmets and uniforms...) Still, not bad for the new age uniforms. Oh yeah, War Eagle!
