Honestly I think it looks better then their current uni.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:05 PM ^
They're gonna look great when we're running by them into the endzone.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:05 PM ^
i like it better as well. the helmet is dumb though. i love how the nike rep is trying to sell the public that wearing these uni's will help an individual play "fast" b/c that is the direction football is going. really? thanks.

Why did you think WV wore yellow jerseys. Cause they were fast as lightning
November 18th, 2009 at 3:14 PM ^
Totally unbiased I dont like these jerseys, their current ones are better.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:22 PM ^
A group tackle is pretty much going to look like a bingo machine threw up:
November 18th, 2009 at 3:17 PM ^
that these new jerseys are made out of cotton (100%) and they shrink in the wash prior to the game a la Seinfeld's "The Chaperone."
Sean McDonough: And the Buckeyes take the field.
Matt Millen: And what is with the Buckeyes? They look like they're having trouble running. They can't move.
McDonough: It's their uniforms, they're too tight. They've shrunk. They're running like penguins. Forget this game.
Millen: Oh my God, Pryor just split his pants.
Rich Rodriguez: That's a shame.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:17 PM ^
They look like the bastard sons of the Atlanta Falcons.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:19 PM ^
Do they have sweet names for the colors? Not sure if anyone can beat Oregon's Mallard, Lightning and Ice.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:21 PM ^
The only upgrade they could make would be to get rid of Scarlet and Grey and those appear to still be a part of the uniform, therefore, I hate them.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:23 PM ^
I hate nike.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:29 PM ^
Their regular ones are much better. I do think, though, that they should go to plain gray pants.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:29 PM ^
I don't like the helmets, probably because they are too plain. Or because its OSU.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:45 PM ^
They remind me of a slightly more evil Alabama helmet.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
Does anyone else really wish we had stuck with Nike over Adidas? Admittedly I'm a huge Nike fan, but I'm pretty jealous of all the Nike sponsored schools getting all this awesome new gear. Plus, this may or may not be true but someone told me that recruits are attracted to schools sponsored by Nike for this reason.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
The thing that I hate about Nike and their awesome new gear is that all of the stuff is similar. There is the same "high-tech, lightweight, manueverable" stuff with all of the same uniform design. It's not being Michigan, it's being a part of team Nike. Plus they do this at a rivalry game, on the road. Dick move.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:54 PM ^
Nike always has to get fancy even with traditional uniforms, plus they take advantage of child labor. Maybe that's why the Bucks love them. The question on the new uniforms should be: How many children died to make this?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:11 PM ^
Michigan has the best home uniforms in all of college football. If a recruit wants to go somewhere based on their uniforms, Michigan is the place to be. (However, I realize a lot of recruits probably have bad tastes when it comes to football uniforms.)
November 18th, 2009 at 3:54 PM ^
I definitely like them better than the current ones. The black piping or whatever it's called looks like shit.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:03 PM ^
They make the worst combination Oregon can come up with look tasteful.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:07 PM ^
That is a big reason why some players are choosing to play at Oregon. The over 3 million jersey combinations has a draw to some. I dont know how UM alum would handle an alternate jersey for any of our games. There was a big enough stink when Adidas brought out our current road uni.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:07 PM ^
they will be tricked into thinking they aren't playing a team they've lost to for half a decade.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:16 PM ^
I heard a lot of the players hate the shoes that they have to wear. A lot of the line is complaining about their ankles rolling. Hopefully a good thing for us.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
The best news regarding OSU's unis is that it will probably take Pryor till at least middle of the third to realize they are wearing the same uniform he is. Big advantage for us.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:28 PM ^
U.G. .... L.Y.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:10 PM ^
On a related note, Justin Boren has announced that he will be replacing his usual gameday leopard-skin panties with a cranberry silk number from Victoria Secret.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:25 PM ^
...so the uniforms are still HANDS DOWN the ugliest f'ing things I have ever laid eyes on (and that includes the 5'10", 85 lb., toothless Crypt-Keeper clone "chick" I saw at a Jackyl concert in Shreveport, LA)!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 5:54 PM ^
I want to party with you.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:16 PM ^
once went to the Lynard Skynard / Tesla / Bachman Turner Overdrive "TRIPLE CROWN OF SOUTHERN ROCK" tour... excluding himself, he had more fingers than the entire crowd had teeth. Although there was a tremendous amount of Jack Daniels being passed around at the lawn area at Pine Knob, er, DTE Music Center.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:25 PM ^
They look like the helmets that they wore in the "The Express" with Dennis Quaid.
Retro meets metro meets nitro? Weird combo.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:47 PM ^
The best part of the video is the Nike speaker referring to the 11 elite teams for which they are making uniform changes...and ohio state. Well done Mr. Nike.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:47 PM ^
...with all of their lame buckeye stickers? It just won't be the same if we're not playing a team that looks like a flock of seagulls had massive diarrhea all over their glittery helmets.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:12 PM ^
That's the most hiddeous piece of crap I've ever seen.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:16 PM ^
OH MY GOD THEY ARE BREAKING WITH TRADITION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 6:27 PM ^
The "Team Nike" comments referenced above are apt.
I also hate how all of their stuff is incredibly heinous. diamondplate patterns on football uniforms is sooooo XFL.
I actually like the Oregon Unis from when Joey Harrington was there.
Nike makes money off selling merch, especially replica jerseys. Having a team change unis every few years (or in Oregon's case, multiple times per year) is money in the bank for them.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:50 PM ^
but I think their current uniforms are some of the worst in football, both home and away.
