Alternate Jersey Release Open Thread
Well, after weeks of speculation, we will all discover what our Michigan Wolverines will be wearing at the night game against Notre Dame.
8:00 on Mgoblue.com, they will be unveiled. Apparently, the players all really like them.
As long as the game results in a W for us, I'm ok with whatever they wear.
Hopefully they don't look too bad!
It's live now! at least someone's there... looks like he walked away..
Shouldn't the face and arms on the 53 mannequin be white?
I think you mean gritty.
at least they are playing some good MMB music as a warmup to the debacle we will be wearing for that night game...at least I have a 6 pack next to me...should make this announcement bareable
OH SNAP IT'S STARTING!
The helmet on the right is the new one.....wing goes back farther.
When did RVB become black?
Is this guy talking to me?
what weather was going on that caused a move in venue. Okay, I'll shut up now.
denard?
Way to dress up for the occasion, Dave.
Oh, wait, suits don't have Adidas logos.
I thought the exact same thing
When I think night football I think suits. /s
They should be playing Sirius by the alan parsons project when the player walks out in the uni through fog and maize and blue lights.
Who has the Brian Cook suicide watch tonight?
Live Translation of Events:
Sit down.
Why are you here on a summer Friday night?
I love corporations. I'm Dave Brandon.
Here's the uniforms. They are jam packed with history and capital gains. Deal with it, bitches. I'm out.
Looks like DB has a terrible hair dye job.
It's true. The nightmare is real. "Different elements from different decades."
And Desmond honor is acknowledged.
Or that is what MDen and Brandon report.
It's a legacy jersey according to Brandon.
Suit is not necessary for this moment.
I was surprised how many big chill jerseys I saw.
how awesome would it be if brandon threw a curveball and unveiled 'worst state ever' uniforms
can this hurry up???
Hurry up show the uniforms so I can start my OUTRAGE
sporting the updated 2011 polo. Maize pit stains.
I always thought that look was stupid, but calling them pit stains makes them worse. The fact that they're maize really makes that an accurate description. And makes me cringe
I don't like the idea of "surprises" being used to refer to the fact that the game is the day before the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
There's our commander and chief!
SIck coordination - just got the email about the contest 20 seconds after DB announced it.
Rugby jerseys!
but this jersey will NOT add to the legacy and tradition of Michigan
Hoke is recruiting us, and I'm sold.
Doesn't look nearly as bad on pads.
Well, there are the little lines on the M, but I'm ok with that.
Then again, Denard could wear a unicorn rainbow shirt, and I'd love it
look at the spacing between the stripes and the number on this jersey compared to the MDen one. This is much more football-like and less futbol-like. The M is smaller, too. Much less crowded. I was not a fan of the leaked jersey, but I do like this one.
Translation: "after 100 years of tradition, we've created our first throwback and incorporated as many Frankenstein bits as possible into one eye sore. Rest assured these will be so hated, we won't do another retro jersey for another 100 years"
Those aren't terrible.
I change my mind...those are not bad at all!!!!
slick I like it!
Ok still not great, but better than I expected
But I don't think for one game it's too bad of a look. Love the grey facemasks!
actually not bad when you see them on
Lookin good Shoelace!
I like them!
THey don't look as bad as I thought they would. Anybody notice how the adidas logo is as large as the number?
Gray facemasks? Is there a point to those? Am I missing something?
They look fantastic. AND that is throwback right there.
I was just unsure if that was truly retro or not
The facemasks were gray in the 60's. Brian mentioned this in his post yesterday, I believe.
Edit: Wooops. Redundant.
