When Nike pays you all those boat loads of money, they are going to have a say too.

Harbaugh may have some veto power, but he does not get ten vetos in a row.  Nike is going to get some alternates in there.

Do you want to be a winner, wearing a yellow-maize jersey, at the end of the game or not?
Do you want to give everything you can, or seem like a wuss?

I really don't understand why so many think a maize jersey won't look good. The Maize hockey and basketball jerseys are easily the best looking. I know, apples and oranges, by the people saying "OH MY GOD IT'S SO BAD HOLD ME!" really need to get a grip. If we wear one it will look good. Harbuagh will approve it and all that jazz. It won't be like the bumblebees that nobody even knew about until they got back into the locker room after warmups.

And would think Harbaugh would be pretty traditional regarding jerseys. The only influence of his so far was to go back to the road jerseys his hero Rick Leach wore.

I don't give a shit. Wear pink. Just beat Florida and show people Michigan is capable of closing out games on a big stage.

First, those are ugly AF. Second, how do they not beat down the damn hole of a retail employee’s brain not to release them early.

Don't buy it. The market will decide how much more they do this kind of stuff. MLB has been a clown show all weekend long for the sole purpose of selling merchandise.

But it's a true matter of personal preference rather than tradition. I don't care much for predominantly yellow jerseys or any attire for that matter. I don't love the yellow basketball jerseys either, would rather White at home with maize trim than an all maize barrage. I don't buy all maize M gear either for the same reason, blue only baby. That's just me though, if you like them great. Wear them and win and I won't say a word lol.

Well, at least we will have seen all the monochrome color combinations by the end of this season:  All-white (looks good), all-blue (not bad, really, without the strange numbers), and all-maize (TBD).

No more speculation about how great or bad they will look, we will know first hand.

If all-maize looks that bad, ala the white bumblefuckbees, we won't have to see it again.

I won't believe it until it's officially announced. But just in case I'll do my bitching right now, here we go: Why in the world do they just have this NEED to try a maize jersey?? It just won't look good, why can't they accept the fact that they'll never work out? If we want to try alternates, let's have maize pants, let's do throwbacks to the cool road unis we've worn throughout our history. Their only defense is that it's a recruiting tool, but they don't remember the fact that our helmets alone are the biggest recruiting tools in CFB Equipment (Ask Jamie Morris), Let alone our unis as a whole. And let alone our second-to-none recruiting tools such as JH, our performance in this game, our performance this year, Wilton Speight playing clutch QB, Rashan Gary killing people, Eddie McDoom running jet sweeps, our true freshman WRs catching EVERYTHING, All of that. Just why touch our uniforms? There is simply NO actual reason to. DO NOT BUY THESE and they can just be remembered as those ugly jerseys we wore while we beat the heck out of Florida at a stupid neutral site regular season game.

"Helped" seems to be the key word here. Like I said, he had a say on it and was able to give opinions on it. This isn't Harbaugh exclusively designing it, so saying he designed it himself is unfair. He deserves some criticism for allowing this to happen, but only a small portion of the blame.

Harbaugh did not design the jersey. Harbaugh HELPED design the jersey and (unfortunately) determined that they were worthy of wearing.
