Y'know, these actually give me a uniformz idea that people might actually be able to get behind: what about a hoops uniform that mimics the home football uniform?  Blue jersey, with no "Michigan" on the front--just a number.  Maize shorts with nothing but the block M near the beltine.

That could be not completely awful, right?  I guess the big problem is it would require a separate Michigan-only design, which Adidas surely would not do.

I'll duck when the rotten fruit comes flying at me.

Please drop adidas and sign with Under Armor or Nike

Do you sometimes get the feeling that Adidas is either trying too hard, or just isn't trying at all?

Am I the only one that likes them haha

Question... Doesn't changing shoes impact players? I've always hated new shoes. Need to break them in and that process is tough on the feet if you have to practice a couple hours a day.

LMFAO.

Cool swim trunks.

Seriously though, that two tone design is really popular for mens swim trunks, like the cheap ones you'd ind at meijer or target.

Does ANYONE like these shorts?  Some of you are meh over them, but I don't hear anyone actually excited about them.  What kind of vetting process does Adidas perform?  They apparently have a blind (literally) panel judge their concoctions.

I wish we didn't have postseason alternate uniformz at all, but at least they don't say "Wolverines."

It's functionally our normal uniform with a Lousiville-style crotch stripe.

Maybe its good that we probably won't be playing too many post season games.  Those shorts are fucking ridiculous. 

Adidas loves to fix that which is not broken

...are as good as the shorts are bad.  Call it a wash.

Who the fuck signs off on those shorts?   Even Mugatu would think its a terrible idea.  And he invented the piano key necktie, so he knows

Wolverine Devotee says they're sweet or it didn't happen.

Well...I guess if we don't make the post-season I won't have to see them.

...

Get at least one of these a year. Got it out the way.

If not for the top section of the shorts, they'd be fine.  

I'd actually be OK with these if I could just figure out what the hell that little stripe on the bottom corner of the shorts is supposed to be and how if will look when worn.  I mean two tone shorts with the Block M would probably look fine if they'd just put some piping along the bottom hem, but no because Adidas.

Could be worse. Maybe we'll get better uniforms for the Final Four /s

What's next?  A Maize and Blue checkerboard uni?

It's a formal look with the addition of the tuxedo cumberbund around the middle. 

"What’s that? Ah — Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs?You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game! Another game."

If they got rid of the two-tone top half of the shorts and the stripes on the left leg, these would be fantastic. Do less, Adidas.

Gross

People actually buy this crap in M-Den and elsewhere, it makes adidas money. So until people stop buying it in retail shops, adidas will keep putting it on the team. If you ask me, this is adidasas' worst effort yet. I'd rather see the team in those Indiana Pacers uniforms- that at least has precedent with Iowa mimicking the Steelers. 

Identical to Louisvilles alts. They don't look bad on them.

Is up. Recruits really care about how fresh, if you will, they look in the uniforms. Nike is fresh and is like the end all be all, under armour is also fresh but not as common. Everything else gets is a negative for recruits. My school had Russel and on a recruiting tripwhen I was visiting one recruit said "awww fuck nah" when he saw them. Needless to say he didn't end up going there.

I think these might look decent on an actual basketball player

That giant strip style thing on the shorts is no-go in this guys book. The giant block M on the other, is a yes-go.

like these uniforms.  I think the 1989 uni's are the gold standard and I would take those 10 times out of 10.  That being said, I think these will look pretty dope on actual players.

For once, they get the M's on the sides of the shorts at appropriate size.

But then make the tops of the shorts look like the factory ran out of fabric and decided to use what was left.

Why is this so fucking difficult?

I actually quite like these uniforms

(Rant.) Who made this rule that Michigan's sporting apparel, and the sporting memories we carry with us for the rest of our lives, have to be subjugated to the affirmatively impudent and deliberately offensive whims of a department full of brain-dead marketing clones the likes of which Brandon populated the AD back in the day? When did UM lose the power to say "Fuck NO! Don't ask again!" Since all of this crap is driven by the corporate mentality of garnering marginal revenue by strip-mining the value of the "brand" as a whole, why does M, or any other major, need Adidas anyway? Couldn't M contract out the unis and garner the marginal revenue enhancement from esthetic atrocities itself, or not? Would it cripple UM to get uniforms made the way it was done in the '70s, without corporate vandalism smeared all over them? Is this the cost of the indoor practice facility, etc? Why does this unwanted horseshit have to be shoved in our faces, like an Adobe Flash update that destroys all decent user options, over and over again? I get that it's the world we live in. I've watched symphony orchestra after symphony orchestra devolve from raising money to play concerts to playing concerts to raise money, as quality is dis-invested and core rep disappears in favor of marketing tricks to attract one-time audiences with no abiding interest in symphony orchestras, all to support a growing population of marketing whizzes to replace the dwindling population of actual regular symphony players. Management mania. In my daydreams, it would be nice if, after thanking DB for years of service and then showing him the door, we could turn around and kick Adidas in the nuts. (Rant over.) Back to the uniformz.
