2019 Student Shirt is Worst I’ve Ever Seen

No jumpman, no Nike swoosh, not even a Nike shirt, and middle-school graphics (especially the back). Weird to choose something such low quality compared to similarly situated schools.

So don't buy one? 

Looks like you've been a member since 2009, 10 years so I doubt you're a student.

A  Michigan fan is only happy when they are unhappy.

That is what I thought. The back could certainly be better. Front is fine. Why the OP wants a Nike swoosh or Jumpman on it so badly is odd, though. That would jack the price another 30%. Also, it’s just a season tee with the schedule. I don’t think a brand logo is important.

I think it looks fine. They're always more or less the same idea. Outrage meter is reading flat and I just changed the battery in this thing.

Schedule format is weird, but otherwise looks all right. Front just looks like the kind of design you'd get from some kind of anniversary patch. That's not a criticism, just an observation.

I think it's ridiculous that you're upset about a lack of Nike branding on it. For all the absurdly large branding so much of the current merchandise gets I find it kind of refreshing that they went toward the opposite end of the spectrum here.

It's a Michigan Football shirt. Not a Nike shirt. That's upsetting to you?

They started in like 2004 as student designed independent shirts, then the current apparel company took over starting in 2007.

I have a collection that goes back every year to 2010. Back then it was Adidas, before that Nike, now Air Jordan. But this year seems to be an exception?

Last time I checked its the University of Michigan, not the University of Nike...

If you want people to know you are wearing Nike, than go to the MDen or any Nike Outlet (Tanger is only 30 minutes away).

It's a t-shirt.  I'd wear it.  It's pretty simple.  Nothing particularly horrible about it in my opinion.  Every year, I see posters on Mgoblog constantly ragging how horrible our student shirts ("Why can't it just be simple?", "Why is it so simple?", etc.) are compared to other schools but most student section t-shirts I've seen throughout college football are basically the same.  I wouldn't consider any of them particularly creative save for maybe 1 or 2 over the years.  School logo or some image representing the school on the front, either a chant/motto or schedule on the back.  These fall right in line with that.

The schedule could look a lot better, but aside from that, no major issues with this one. 

Granted, it's all subjective, but still, definitely not a total loss.
