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)
I think they were going for the "Harmon of Michigan" look, but replaced the solid yellow on the shoulders and sleeves with stripes. See this link for posters from the movie:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNO
If Adidas is going to fake an old uniform, why did they not fake a great looking cool uniform.
I don't like the longer stripe sleeves on this uniform. If they kept the shoulder stripe with shorter blue sleeves it would look good!
Please loose the stripes. Just a block M like some of the old Yost era jerseys would be OK.
Obviously our opponents won't be able to discern one player from another, all they'll see is a mass of maize and blue stripes :)
I actually kind of like them, FWIW.
michigan football's facebook page gave a sneak peek of part of it - and it matches the part of the M on the chest that we have here
i think they're okay
You beat me to it... My heart sank when I saw the 'Cris-Cross' Block M...
I hope the stripes are atleast not there as in the original image at the top...
Ugh
Via MVictors, the team captain is wearing a striped jersey. These were common in the era. I'd like to see some game photos, but Michigan likely wore them for some of the (away?) games. So the Adidas creation is a combination of that and the classic M jersey.
I think the "stitching" design on the M is a reference to the stitched padding on the shoulders of some of the jerseys of that era, as seen second from the right in the full 1899 photo:
