LOOK: For the third week in a row, the shirts and pants are good

For the first time since...2011, maybe?...Missouri will be wearing the exact same uniform/helmet combo for the third straight game.

Behold!

Look how happy Martez and Devin are. The all black, Block M helmets have that effect on people.

But hey, if this team is going to compete like it did from 2006-2011 then they might as well look like the teams from 2006-2011. I’m 100% on board with this.

I love unique uniform looks for teams but, frankly, uniform combos have gone so far the other way, completely oversaturating at every level, that I’m now getting crotchety and longing for the “simpler times” of yore...like the early 2000s. I would love it if every team were limited to one home uni, one road uni, one alt uni, and a minimum of two helmet designs. Enough to let schools have fun and be different but not to the point where I can’t recognize the teams playing on TV, i.e. Iowa State is suddenly wearing all black and Illinois is wearing all blue.

Point is: should the all-black, Block M helmet be the permanent home uniform?
