The Color Maize
Since Nike vs. Adidas is a major topic on this blog, especially the shade of maize that each company uses, I decided that I would look into the actual shade of maize and see which company uses the correct shade. In the pictures below, you will see all the shades of yellow (maize is on the far right, second row down).
Maize is a lighter yellow that obviously resembles the color of common corn. In this next picture, you see the shade of maize that each company uses.
In my opinion, Adidas uses the correct shade of maize. Nike uses more of a sunglow, jonquil, or amber shade (when compared to the 1st picture), and adidas' use of a lighter color is closer to the correct shade of maize. Although it isn't perfect, it is closer to the correct shade than Nike's "maize."
Tell me your input on the colors used by each company

Thread will show up again 3 times b4 The Season. Alot of re-threaded color crap.... stop it..for the love of God .....STOP IT. Never want to see another Maize color pallet # AGAIN. PLAY FOOTBALL
I think Adidas's Maize looks better on uniforms and on TV, but I'd rather wear a Nike Maize T-Shirt as it looks less like a highlighter.
Michigan's first blue was bright sky blue. Thankfully that has changed.
as long as the jorts are blue.

I washed them and used oxyclean. I was pretty regular so other than a skidmark stain on the inside they are still blue.
Get your ass to Columbus or Madison if your jorts are red!
my eyesight is poorly developed so I have to trust my friends to tell me what color is what.
It's so yester-Brandon. BTW you cannot copyright a color - color is a known physical property and only expressive works are copyrightable. Color, with considerable spend and time passage, can receive trademark protection, in which instance the promoter, including possibly Adidas or Nike, might attain legal rights to a color, however, Michigan certainly predates both Adidas and Nike with commercial adoption and use of Yellow And Blue as well as Maize And Blue. So unless we gave something away through a license we own those biotches in terms of our colors. /a patient liar, wups, a patent lawyer and Alum

and have trichromatic vision. Some of my tamarin friends are dichromatic and cannot differentiate between green and red. Imagine their frustration when watching the MSU-OSU game.
Just be thankful we have the cones that enable us to argue between maize and yellow.
I have the Cohens. Which coincidently are the Jewish surnames of my two best friends in this life. Who knew.
Are you really a monkey? I can't believe a monkey would be on this blog. WEIRD! Amirite?
My icon/avatar thingy is clearly that of a chimp, not a monkey. When you doubt my simian status are you indirectly revealing you aren't a koala?
I was being sarcastic because many are surprised that such a highly functioning (and adorable) koala exists. Like I said earlier, my eyesight is poorly developed so forgive me if I had a hard time differentiating between a chimp and a monkey. Would you like to be my arch enemy. I've been looking for one.
koala's are highly functioning and very adorable; i'll give you that. And to be fair, when chimps age they become foul tempered and violent so maybe my simian arrogance is misplaced.
I'd love to be your arch enemy, but how about a trans-species friendship instead?
I find these terms to be acceptable as long as you don't throw poop at me.
you drive a hard bargain. I agree, but please remember that poop can ricochet at times.
We sorted this out. It's his koala eyes. Move along. There's nothing to see here.
I haven't thrown any poop in 6 hours.
IBTD minutes ago. Mods apparently are distracted with recruits or something when we have important items for discussion like hue. Because obviously.
Can we add this topic to the list of shit we're not suppose to talk about around here?
