Uniformz Doom At Hand?
An eagle-eyed user caught this: the M-Den is now listing something hardly different from the doomiform the Free Press published and Dave Brandon laughed at:
That looks official what with its number and the Adidas logo and looking all like a thing that exists in the world. You still can't buy one (it errors out when you click on the monstrosity) but I think it's official enough to say that Michigan is going to look very, very stupid when they take the field against Notre Dame.
(new scoreboards new scoreboards new scoreboards not a cesspool of filth and corruption so deep Sepp Blatter is impressed deep breaths)
What if instead of six stripes on the sleeve, there were only three on the bottom of each sleeve? When it comes to design, "less is more" is usually a good motto to follow.
Call me crazy, but I actually don't think these are too bad. No, they're not exact historical replicas, but I don't think the night game is intended to please the traditionalists. Similar to the Big Chill uniforms, I think they are the type that will look better being worn than on the rack.
As it's only one game, I actually do not mind these too much but I will agree that the stripes are a bit much. Maybe two stripes (or three for Adidas!) would be best (maybe just the shoulders or end of sleeves).
I kind of like the stitched block M. I have a Michigan hockey jersey that has a similar design and like it.
I agree, it is only 1 game BUT Denards run vs ND was only in one game last year, drsmond's catch was only in one game, charles' one handed int was only in one game. If something awesome happens in a rival game we are bound to see highlights of it forever, and while I am sure that adidas will be happy I am not sure I would want to relive a gimmick like this over and over. do this vs Illinois or some other game that is not so loaded with other stuff, at least Illinois could be some sort of red grange game anniversary and the b1g could grant a 1 game exception for front numbers and they could have more original throw backs.
The linky no work anymore. Just an message saying "Sorry, No Products To Show For This Department"
Why pull it down if you're M Den? If that's the uni, that's the uni. It sucks but don't run from it. Unless they jumped the gun and put it up too soon? But they are the "official" merchandise store of UM so you would think everybody would be on the same page.
hopefully this is a joke. Looks more like the attire for my kid's stuffed animals.
More like throw UP jersey, amirite?
(sigh)
And it's only June.
Who the f*ck let the greeter at walmart design our god damn jerseys? I just threw up so hard I shit myself
My eyes, my EYEZZZZ!!!!!!
Sex uniform unveil 6.10.11

<br>Friday um football jumps the shark
My bad
If that is the jersey somepne made a huge error. Won't see me in that. More beer money!
Take the stripes off the sleeves leave them on the shoulders , all in all i think they will look ok on gameday. The main problem is too many stripes
I was thinking about a jersey with the wings from the helmet on the shoulders , that would look awesome
There has to be something we can do to prevent this
Dave Brandon and asked him not to ruin an historic night by sending our boys out in these things. Like that will matter, but I did what I could.
DB's strategy is brilliant.
Make the team so embarrased to be on the field that they have to win, just to save face.
If I squint, I think I see some stripes on the sleeves. Via @michigan_fball
I don't know about the jersey but the gloves definitely aren't helping...
Yup, definitely sleeve stripes. Notice the new gloves, too. I guess DB is trying to get as much merchandise out of this as possible.
Is it me, or is there something different about the helmet? The helmet itself looks shorter in the back. The "wings" decal looks a bit raised.
Then again, maybe I'm seeing things that are not there.
But I kind of like it.
But I kind of like it.
Two more votes for it.
It's who counts the votes.
Well done sir. I hope it does look like that. With gray facemasks and numbers on the helmet I am excited by this for only one game.
... Great job mocking this up. Looks fantastic.
2) It looks like something you wear when you're going running at night
Hey, while we're at it, why not get the band throwback uniforms? Screw cost and practicality!
/s
the crap OSU and Oregon have been wearing. OSU should have our problems :).
I don't really care for it but they will still have the best helmets in the country to balance it out.
PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE NOOOOOOO! I'm sorry these jerseys just look horrible! If they turned out this bad....USE THE NORMAL JERSEYS!
I blame Rich Rod.

These look bad in the stand-alone image, but they might - might - look okay on, with pads underneath. I actually like the M and the small number a lot. It's the stripes that will make or break it.
I'm not going to pass judgement until I can see them on an actual football player. I have always disliked the sleeves that apparently MUST reach the consumers elbow on jerseys for public purchase, I think they will look better on the players.
that bad...
I love photoshop. I think it looks pretty cool.
I like it. It looks a lot like the big chill sweaters. How sweet would these look with the maize and blue switched out, pretty bad ass I think
Will we be wearing baggy pants and Clown noses with them?
You know, to complete the look.
Per a source inside the university this is not the design they will be using. It was thought of as a design but it will NOT be the ones we will be wearing.
If not my beloved wolverines are going to look like maize & blue Ronald McDonalds.
Looks like Bo's pajamas.
I don't understand why this is a big deal. These are fine.
actually might look pretty cool.
I don't mind the jersey but I wish we'd go back to Nike. Adidas is so lame.
If you send Brandon a check to make up for the difference between the Adidas and Nike contracts, I'm sure he'd consider it.
I think they would look better if they removed the stripes from the shoulder and had just two stripes on the arms.
