Away uniform pants
You can do whatever you please with the pants, I believe. But do you want to give people more of a reason to compare the new uni's to West Virginia?

Yeah, it would be West Virginiaey, but dammit they have cool uniforms. I never really liked our away uniforms.
Granted, I've never been much for them either. That's probably why they keep retooling them, since nobody is really thrilled about what they end up like. I guess there is something to be said for trying something new on the pants rather than just the jerseys.
Examples of dark pants would be Oregon State and Oregon as well.
Blue pants is a mistake. We would look like inverse Nittany Lions. The reason the away unis change is that there isn't a historical look that must be maintained. Tweaking here and ther drives incremental jersey sales.
the away unis just need to get rid of the piping and make a simple, clean uni that is the white equivalent of the classic home blue jersey.
What about khaki slacks? That's one way to prove that U of M is, in fact, classier than any other school.
Oh God, only a Miami guy would bring up khacki "slacks". But it makes sense since our unofficial school colors were Khacki and plaid. Though I've never known anyone who's not a 60 year old woman to use the word "slacks". Do you also compliment people on their nice "pant", as in "That's a nice pant." If you ever said this to me I'd be sure to point out how well it goes with my pair of "shoe". Slacks? Really? ;)
Wool khakis may be more durable, but the micro fiber may be better for the early season, temps above 80 games.
plaid pants instead? I bet if you brought up the idea, Miami (FL) would do a popped collar and probation anklet uniforms.
I took a pair of slacks (haaha, fuck you, Ninja) back to Macys and homosexual Iranian sales clerk was like "ooooooooh these are a nice pant buddy? ooooooooooooh, so nice? I think I might buy these pant, buddy?"
Fuck me? Sir, please keep your sordid fantasies to yourself.
And for the record, as long as you insist on referring to them as "slacks" I'm going to picture you as Jaws's twin:

Yup. I'm a bastard.
Why not maize and blue winged thongs?
BGH:
No response to the idea you look like an old lesbian?!! Damn it!
...and btw, the perfect response all weekend is: "We're in Mt. Adams, and you're hobbling around EL brah!"
Trust me, it'll make me cry.
Just no white pants - I hate the white on white look.
