With copper jerseys, white pants and gold helmets donning the snarling Griz logo, it's a throwback for Montana, which dubbed the unveiling "party like it's 1995" in celebration of UM's first football national title.

It's the latest chapter in what's been a celebratory look back this season at the 30-year anniversary of the Grizzlies' 1995 national championship.

The last time UM broke out copper jerseys was Sept. 22, 2018 against Sac State. UM also memorably surprised fans and donned the throwbacks at home in 2008 against Montana State.

The Grizzlies are currently 5-0 and ranked No. 4 in the country, and they'll kick off against Cal Poly at 2 p.m. Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The game will air on The Spot – MTN across Montana except in Missoula and the Flathead Valley, where it will air on KPAX.
