Why is Minnesota sporting black uniforms?

My wife and I are debating the color. She says black and I say dark graphite or really dark olive green, b/c they're distinctly lighter than the shoes.
 
Wait, what??

Their twitter post about them said anthracite.

Anthracite is a type of coal, also known as "hard coal", which is nearly pure carbon and is quite black. However, google tells me the color "anthracite" is a near-black, deep gray. In addition to this odd color choice, the collar areas on the unis appeared to be a weird off-maroon color. Regardless, the goofs played their normal game...bad enough to lose, with just enough late-game scoring to keep hopes alive for their hapless fans.
 
In my book, any program that constantly changes uni's has an identity problem. It screams look at me for all the wrong reasons.
^^^^^Take the emphasis off the on the field results and change the focus.
Fleck is a douche and I doubt his act plays well after 3-4 years of mediocrity.
 
Very very very dark maroon:
