Minnesota will wear white on Thursday to accommodate New Mexico State
The University of Minnesota football team kicks off the 2018 season at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30 at TCF Bank Stadium.
Minnesota unveiled its new H.Y.P.R.R. Elite uniforms earlier this year and will debut them on Thursday.
However, because of an equipment issue with New Mexico State, the Gophers will be wearing their new white uniforms instead of a traditional dark jersey at home. New Mexico State's white uniforms have not arrived yet, so their only option for the game is a dark uniform. Minnesota has agreed to wear a white uniform on Thursday and the Big Ten has approved this one-time change as well.
