Montana announced Monday that the football team will break out the throwback copper and gold uniforms for Saturday's homecoming football game against Cal Poly.

Montana announces return of 1995 copper and gold uniforms for homecoming

Featuring 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 KPAX.
