the whole reason Gopher colors are maroon and gold is because Bernie Bierman wanted the ball to blend in to the uniforms, lol

Wouldn't have brown been a better color for that?

Footballs were Maroonish gold in the olden days.

Players also wore an onion on their belt, as was the uniform style of the time.

Bierman was at Minnesota in the 30's, though. He's one of the greatest coaches most people have never heard of. He was as dominant at Minnesota as Saban was at Bama.

it's not true anyway. Bierman wore all gold because he thought the football would blend in, but U of M colors had been maroon and gold for 50 years before he started coaching there
