Joking aside...

these are the worst alternates I've seen M wear in any sport, and it's not even about the aesthetics. I'm about 99.9% sure there's an NCAA rule in effect prohibiting this jersey. Article 5)b)6 of the basketball rulebook, specifically.

Let's use a little reason here.

Do you think it's more likely that the NCAA has forgotten about basic uniform rules or that teams asked for and received permission to wear these?

ADs want crazy uniforms to sell, NCAA says "sure, fuck the rules if we can make a few bucks" and we get unreadable uniforms.

Devil's advocate here..

I bet if it came up, Adidas/Michigan would tell you to look closely and see that the shades of yellow are slightly different between the jersey background and the number.  So, technically, these probably dont break the rules.

Marketing guy at Adidas: Art design guy, give us a totally neato jersey for Michigan basketball.

Art design guy at Adidas: Super duper, how about yellow?

Marketing guy at Adidas: Yellow? Just yellow? Nothing else? How about the shoes?

Art design guy at Adidas: Yellow too. Just yellow!

Marketing guy at Adidas: Radical! Let's do it!

Art design guy at Adidsas: I'll have my 6th grade kid whip something up in power point and we'll send it to print!

Marketing guy at Adidas: Done and done, and I mean done.

If Adidas was really

If Adidas was really interested in designing uniforms that put as  much "maize" on these as possible, they would've treated their precious three stripes just as they did "Michigan" on the front of the jersey.

New mantra: it's not the name on the front of the jersey, it's the logo on the back of the shoes???

If the kids like them, whatever...

Im sorry but are those MAIZE or YELLOW?   Becuase Ive always wanted the 3rd jersey to be a  maize one, and maize being closer to the orange side,  as in DARK YELLOW, like when the sun sets.  This jersey looks like YELLOW, like our football helmets.

Unlike Adidas, Nike only messes with uniforms for programs that need publicity to be more relevent.

For example, these are from the "Pro Combat" series, but they're pretty damn close to classic Alabama:

very reminiscent of the NBA

very reminiscent of the NBA Christmas jerseys, given that they're all made by Adidas.  Anyone happen to watch the Pacers play in their alternates and recall how difficult it was to see the numbers/names?  Not as big a deal with basketball as with football, as you can actually see people's faces and bodies, unless you're not familiar with all the players.  Meaning, WE shouldn't have a problem identifying players, but osu fans probably will (but who cares about them anyway amiright?)

Legibility be damned, these are awesome for a one-off thing.  UMichBball twitter also says that they'll have maize socks.

I'm not going to throw a hissy fit over something relatively minor like this.  I will throw a hissy fit if I ever see those bumble bee uniforms we had in the trash tornado game.

Hopefully they already tested the number thing after the bowl game debacle.

I freaked out for a second

And thought this post was talking about busting out all maize uniforms for the football team vs. Ohio, not the basketball team.  The thought of 300 lb behemoths dressed in an all maize football gear ensemble is grounds for immediate arrest and physical brutality by the Fashion Police.  Unless of course, you're an Oregon fan, in which case you happily refer to it as "Awesome Nike Alternative Combat Uniform #7."

I wish we would go back to wearing blue jerseys at home like in football. I don't know why basketball went to whites at home in the first place and I hate those shoes.

Kansas has already worn them

Kansas has already worn them this season in all blue if anyone missed that game. I don't mind the jersey when you look at it in a picture, but I have a feeling I'm going to dislike them for the same reason that I disliked our bowl uniforms: you can't tell who the hell is doing things because the numbers are invisible on TV. That said, probably not as big of a deal with basketball.

And why is no one asking the important question? Is Burke going to play with his shoelaces untied? (/s in case that is necessary)

I knew this was going to happen...

Because we lost the first game, I wasn't surprised to hear of this.

If we win in them, I wouldn't be shocked to see them come out again vs. IU.

Why are the socks white?

Cannot believe you burned all 3 of the questions.  I hope you're happy.

I wish, just once uninformed message board posters and bloggers would stop blaming Dave Brandon for uniforms.

He's an athletics director. This doesn't fall under his job description. Just because he's the only person you can name in the entire athletics department doesn't mean it's his fault.

For the record. Uniforms have A LOT more to do with the teams and coaches than they EVER do with the AD.

Uh

Mr. Brandon is the only one who can get us a new contract, not players or coaches. It most certainly is under his job description, maybe delegated to someone else to handle, but still in his wheelhouse.

Thanks for calling me uninformed though.

I love Mgoblog,

but the majority of you have to stop getting your panties in a bunch.  The only difference between these jerseys and our normal maize ones (which are amazing btw) is that the Michigan and number are not filled in with blue.  Is that really the end of the world? 

 

Stauskas and a couple other players have already voiced their opinion on the shoes, calling them "cold" (that means he approves of them).  If the players like them and are excited to wear them, what's the big deal?  Beat Ohio!

Especially because the jerseys and shoes are the same color!

Whatever your opinion of the Fab Five, this remains the best style, hands down.

As bad without the shoes. How often do you look at a man's shoes?

On the other hand, the guys wear different shoes from each other each game. hopefully, some do not wear these

Judging by what I've read...

I'd say the answer is no, but not by much. Personally, for some reason I can't see the pics of the uniforms on my work computer, but I would second the opinion of the person who voice their love for the old fab five maize uniforms. Personally, those are my favorite of all basketball uniforms.

I do like the current maize uniforms though, so I can't see myself having an issue with these ones if they are similar.
