Griz 1995 Throwback Up for National Award

Montana, quick huddle.

If you’ve followed Griz football last season, you know exactly which uniforms we’re talking about. The copper. The gold. The ones that feel like they should come with a built-in VHS rewind button.

The Montana Grizzlies are nominees for Throwback Uniform of the Year at Uniswag’s 2026 awards, and it’s that 1995 national championship throwback doing the heavy lifting.

The kind of uniform that instantly takes you to grainy highlight reels and a Dickenson scoring pass that somehow gets better the fuzzier the footage is. And here’s the important part. You’ve got 48 hours to vote. That’s it.

The Uniswag awards spotlight the best uniforms in college football, and the throwback category is stacked. Big brands. Big fan bases. Plenty of schools trying to convince everyone that their old stripe pattern counts as history.But not all throwbacks hit the same.

Some programs dig into a dusty closet, pull out a random 1972 design, and call it retro. The Griz brought back something tied directly to a national title. That 1995 championship team is more than a trivia answer. It’s part of the backbone of Montana football. When the Griz rolled out those copper and gold uniforms again, it didn’t feel like a costume change. It felt like a blast from the past.

Fans can vote once per day on the Uniswag site, and winners will be announced on March 9th. Consider this your friendly reminder that scrolling social media can wait two minutes.

Montana fans have never struggled with loyalty. We’ll drive eight hours in January for a playoff game. We’ll debate quarterbacks in the grocery store like it’s a public hearing. Voting for a jersey? That’s light work.

The copper helmets. The gold numbers. That clean, no-frills look that feels like late November at Washington Grizzly Stadium when the air stings and everything matters.

If you’ve got a working thumb and two spare minutes, go send that vote the Griz way here.
