Pretty solid I think. Much better than last years.

just click on the new arrivals and it pops up for you.
Pretty cool but when I first looked at it, I saw a boat.
That's what I saw at first too.
I honestly thought it was the crew team in the Big House, I was like wait what?! I'm glad I am not the only that thought it looked like a boat...
That's what I saw at first too.
The recruits come in twos.
The slogans are always kinda 'meh', but I've thought the designs the last few years has been lacking (do they still have a student doing it? If not, that might explain why).
<br>
<br>Though I might have liked the slogan more if they had added a Hoke-like "for gosh's sakes!"
Adidas took over the design, as far as I know. A friend of mine from undergrad was supposed to have done the design for the 2008 shirt, but it was yanked at the last second in favor of the adidas shirt. I don't think there's been a student contest since.
Not too surprising there really hasn't been a great student shirt since. But this one isn't bad.
I like the $10 gift card for every two you buy. I think I still have the gift card I got for buying last years shirt. I usually buy one for myself, one for my wife and two for my parents.
A huge improvement from the "big house pledge" on the 09 shirt. Man that was bad!
I wore my '09 season shirt around osu's campus the other day and it had just as chilling an effect as ever.
I want them to bring back the program accomplishments on the shirt, like in 2003 and 2004, instead of just posting the schedule. Anyone can post a schedule. No one else can claim to be the winningest program ever.
Those shirts with the list of all the records and stats were great. They did that shortly before I left Ann Arbor. I agree, that was awesome and I'd like to see it brought back.
couldnt agree with you more. they had it for the 2006 season and it was kickass. i never understood the point of having the schedule on the back of the jersey. is there anyone who is like: hmmmm, i wonder who we're playing week 6. let me go into my dresser and read the back of the maize out shirt and find out.
but seriously, who cares about accomplishments when you have all the evidence needed to brag about strength of schedule printed right on your shirt
And there has been nothing close to the '03 shirt.
Because there's no need to name it?
Personally, don't think there's much of a need to name the student section at Yost, either, but that's just me.
Sorry but it screams we are $partan and you know the trolls will eat this up.
Didnt we bring this up in a thread a while back, and we all decided that it looked like a boat.
Yes, this all happened before.
I feel like this design came at a time when the direction of the program was still in question. Needless to say, I'm more excited to find out what the 2012 design will be.
"This is Michigan, for God's sakes!"
Maybe the boat illusion could be replaced by Brady Hoke pointing us to victory...
I said this before, but it reminds me of a combination of:
and
Both of which are very powerful images.
I actually like the picture, regardless of what it looks like. I think knowing what it is for Michigan + what you point out here, there is a power to it. Those are very powerful images.
I don't actually think the image should be replaced, but was thinking more about "This is Michigan" seemingly pulled straight from Hoke's introductory press conference.
I can't wait until the season starts!
Why not a big block M our history and nuff said?
Looks kinda goofy IMO, but better than the "All in for Michigan" ones I guess
Looks alright.
<br>
<br>On another note, does anyone find it hilarious that addidas' current promotional campaign of "All In" is a ripoff of the Michigan one.
Did anyone notice last year's fit wierd? It still just feels kind of cheap and cardboardy.
2008 fits like a glove and always did. I wonder if Nike is cheaping out on quality.
I hope this years is an improvement.
Nike isn't making the shirts anymore bud its adidas.
I mean I like the new t-shirt, it doesn't beat last year's, but I think the design, especially on the back is pretty awesome. Stats are pretty cool and stuff, but I think it's cool that it focuses on THIS specific season, not the history of the program, since that's its goal. I'm just hoping that one of these years people ACTUALLY wear maize for maize outs. Seriously, save your blue stuff for Sunday after we win. We need the maize to get a better home field advantage
I can see 2012 t-shirt will have on the from DEFEND THE TITLE and have a pitcure of Michigan holding up the national championship trophy.
