Color Watch: Will we see maize or white pants vs. PSU?
The Tweet that Brian embedded in the latest Opponent Watch made me curious. There was a thread devoted to this (admittedly lame) topic prior to the match up in 2017.

Hopefully, but not in that game. Last time that happened, UM got whooped.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:17 PM ^
Agreed. This would not be a good time to bring them back. Bad memories
October 10th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
Using that logic, we should go with Blue pants since we're undefeated in them and undefeated against Penn State. Never lost.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:45 PM ^
I'm down for Michigan in blue pants. Hell, blue jerseys WITH blue pants for a home game sometime. Call it the "Go Blue Out."
October 10th, 2019 at 4:47 PM ^
You think a Blue Out would be a Blow Out?
October 10th, 2019 at 5:00 PM ^
I upvote anything Tobias Funke related.

I'm an analasyst via therapy. An Analrapist, if you will.
October 10th, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
This could just give us ANUSTART on offense.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
*Whispers* They've done that, beat Penn State at home in 2014 in all blues.
October 10th, 2019 at 5:01 PM ^
October 10th, 2019 at 5:01 PM ^
We also did all maize. I think the only combination left to do is white top blue pants, right? After that we'll need to break out a new color, like turquoise.
edit: And maize top blue pants, maize top white pants, duh. Lots of combinations left. Phew.
October 11th, 2019 at 3:18 AM ^
Yes, I know we've done it once with the adidas uniforms.
October 10th, 2019 at 5:00 PM ^
Didn't we do that once? Or am I missing my sarcasm detector.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Honestly I could get on board with some blue pants, I think that combo would actually look decent
October 10th, 2019 at 5:08 PM ^
Blue pants and a maize jersey would be the exact opposite from our home uniforms. I think it would look better than the all blue uniforms we used against PSU in 2014 at home, I think?
October 11th, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
I would like to see blue pants with the white jerseys on the road. Delaware, who also has the winged helmet, wore this look on the road against Pitt and it looked pretty sharp.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
White pants are for teams without options. We deserve better. Bring back the maize pants!!!
October 10th, 2019 at 5:54 PM ^
The shade maize or corn refers to a specific tone of yellow; it is named for the cereal of the same name—maize (the cereal maize is called corn in the Americas). In public usage, maize can be applied to a variety of shades, ranging from light yellow to a dark shade that borders on orange, since the color of maize (the actual corn) may vary.
The first recorded use of maize as a color name in English was in 1861.

I say go with orange pants!
October 10th, 2019 at 6:11 PM ^
....somewhere Dave Brandon cries out for the missed opportunity to brand the orange pants as......pumpkin spice.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
Wear maize if it helps Shea find some receivers.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
Tell him aim for the maize and when he over throws it will hit them in the hands
October 10th, 2019 at 4:46 PM ^
That's supposed to be what the wings are for. But yeah, it's not working.
October 10th, 2019 at 5:19 PM ^
So Shea is an ass man....
October 10th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
White out the White out and Go Blue!!
October 10th, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
pants? we talking pants? i can't believe we talking pants?
October 10th, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
This has to be one of the stupidest threads this week!
On the one hand, Harbaugh has not won a meaningful road game in his 5 years at Michigan and on the other hand parts of the fan base are speculating on the color pants we will wear.
October 10th, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
Unfortunately - does not even make the Top 10. And the week isn't over.
October 10th, 2019 at 6:02 PM ^
So he (justifiably) is pilloried for his record against "rivals" but he can't even get credit for beating the in-state asshats on their field twice?
October 10th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
Harbaugh has not won a meaningful road game in his 5 years at Michigan
While his road record isn't the best, winning at PSU (2015) and MSU twice (2016, '18) isn't nothing.
(At the least, if we'd lost those games they'd be considered "meaningful.")
October 11th, 2019 at 12:08 AM ^
It is considering ped state was 7-6 that year, staee in '16 was 3-9, and 7-6 in '18.
Not vintage years for those teams, barely .500.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:22 PM ^
Do we have to play that game?
October 10th, 2019 at 5:22 PM ^
Really hoping the players don't have loser mentalities like this.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:23 PM ^
I much prefer the maize pants, really wish they would go back to those as their full time away pant. I feel like the white unis are just generic as hell. For people saying they got whooped in them last time, they also have got whooped last year in the white pants against OSU so it's not like those are lucky pants or anything.
October 10th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
I can’t get past the fact that all white uniforms look weak.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
Pink for breast cancer awareness.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
No, like I said ..Wu peed on my whiteout.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:35 PM ^
Maize
October 10th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
I say wear the same uniforms as the 1997 team in honor of that 34-8 beatdown, and in tribute to the hardest hit in Michigan (college?) history ever from Daydrion Taylor.
Daydrion never played football again, but this was legendary. Hope he is well these days.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:44 PM ^
I would be first in line to buy one.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:49 PM ^
That would actually be pretty cool, try to channel some of the nobody is expecting us to win this game disrespect energy like the 1997 team had in that game while they are at it.
October 10th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
You'd be first in line, WD?
Like there was any doubt?
October 10th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
Somewhere Marcus Ray is taking credit for that hit.
October 11th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
In between snack breaks.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
Any color pants is good as long as it's not brown.
October 10th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Purdue's space themed unis this weekend are sweet.
October 10th, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
One of the coolest alternates ever.
October 10th, 2019 at 5:38 PM ^
Interesting that they can have a great space and engineering program, design those cool helmets - yet can't figure out how to get air conditioning or proper medical equipment into their visitors' locker room. Huh...
October 10th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
