Saying this is the worst uniform ever created for any sport doesn't go far enough.  These are some of the most visually unappealing objects ever created by the human race.

I have renewed confidence in the UM Athletic Department to eschew uniforms that are too far over the line. Yeah, there have been some unis on Michigan teams that I don't like, but they weren't dumb enough to get on this train.

I usually don't complain about uniforms like others have said, but Holy Crap.  What could have possibly been in the inspiration?  I'm okay with the person who designed it... but who the heck approved it (within Adidas)/?

After seeing the McDonald's All-American uniforms and how bad those were, I had hoped - vainly, admittedly -  that it was an empty threat from Adidas that the individual team uniforms would not be even worse. Apparently, Adidas meant what they said in those tweets from the other day. Yikes. I commend Michigan for passing on these. Good lord, those are dreadful.

The only good here is that Louisville and Notre Dame could get an awesome game of "Red Light, Green Light" going, but that's probably about it. They definitely aren't good for basketball. The person who designed these should definitely stick to fingerpainting.

I think if we have another performance like last night's or the Breslin beatdown the team should be threatened with having to wear these.  Perhaps the fear of having to play a game in these things would motivate our troops to play a wee bit tougher on D.
