I thought they looked good.

I do not like the maize shoes. They look too much like a penalty flag.

We need to find a way to put that to good use down in Columbus.
If Norfleet can do a cartwheel at just the right time, it may slow down an OSU pass rush or two.
October 12th, 2014 at 5:59 PM ^
No. The numbers looked tacky, and the all-blue pant made the linemen look fat.
October 12th, 2014 at 6:02 PM ^
No more blue pants. It doesn't look like Michigan. I don't get how everyone can be like "boo Dave Brandon for destroying tradition" and then pivoting immediately to "man I love it when we change something that's been traditional since even before the winged helmets."
Besides, teams just look dumb in general when the jerseys and pants are the same color. It's a terrible look regardless of what color they use.

The cheerleaders or the uniforms?
October 12th, 2014 at 6:32 PM ^
When they cut to the game I thought they were impressive.

All-in-all though I thought they looked good.

I hated the brown stripes in the numbers.
The black stripes on the shoulder pads were fine.
I wouldn't want blue pants all the time, but as a change up I thought it was fun.

The only part of the uniform that I liked was the helmet.
October 12th, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
Hate them. I don't get the "uniformz" craze. I consider the following programs to be traditional college football blueboods, steeped with tradition, that have classic and sharp helmets/jerseys that shouldn't be messed with.
Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Penn State, Alabama, Texas, Southern Cal, and Oklahoma.
Have any of these schools messed around with their uniforms with alternates recently to the extent Michigan has? Ohio State has done some Nike camo stuff with their numbers a couple of times but nothing major. I think Nebraska has had some black alternates in recent years.
Other than that, no one else. Why does Michigan feel the need to do this? It's not needed. We have the best helmets and best color schemes in my opinion. Why does there have to be such a freaking produciton around playing a nightgame? Programs have been doing it for years. Just play the fucking game -- you don't need to have special unforms each time or a special fucking name, Just play the goddamn thing.
I hope the next AD puts a stop to all this shit.

I love the blue pants but like the traditional jersey better. I'd like to see what the blue pants looks like with the white jersey. One day I'd like to see the all-maize alternates.
October 12th, 2014 at 10:36 PM ^
I was with you 100% until the last sentence. Then I hurled.
October 12th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
I think they were bad ass.
October 12th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
...and I thought the blue pants was the best part. Reminded me of this:

Playboy bunnies would add a classy touch.

The thing about these uniform gimmicks is they are all about fashion, not football. We're all talking about number stylings and detailings and the way the colors showed up under artificial light, instead of about how the defense made big stops and how Devin Gardner managed to lead an offense on one foot.
Do recruits love the uniform gimmicks? I dunno, did Brady Hoke show artist renderings of uniform designs when he went to visit them? Did he take fabric samples, or drop designer names? (At Michigan, our uniforms are the epitome of style, created by such well known designers as Yves St. Laurent and Coco Chanel!)
Or did he talk about the stadium, the chance to play in one the best leagues (still!) in the country, and the great academics?
As far as I'm concerned, there's only one good thing about these uniform gimmicks, and that is they keep Dave Brandon busy. Every minute he's going over fabric swatches and mulling over accessories ("Do these wristbands go with the stripes on the cleats? Oh God, the color on this chinstrap is HIDEOUS!") is a minute he isn't butting into film sessions. Otherwise, the fiddling with uniforms just strikes me as unseemly.

Really liked them. Thought they looked sharp
October 12th, 2014 at 10:27 PM ^
But I thought the blue pants were really, really cool.
I ignored the jerseys and just pretended the numbers were solid maize.

Sidenote: I wish we would go back to the helmets with the numbers on them from UTL1. We went 10-2 wearing them =]
October 13th, 2014 at 9:00 AM ^
Monochrome in football is always a bad look. Especially all blue, with no pants stripes. It's like they were wearing jumpers. We have worn maize pants for nearly every game for most of our lifetimes--why stop now?
October 13th, 2014 at 9:26 AM ^
Didnt watch the game but saw some pics later and Hated them. Looked like a stunt via Oregon. Whats next a Blue playing field?
October 13th, 2014 at 9:49 AM ^
I didn't mind the blue pants. I did not like the shiny strips on both the jerseys and the pants. Numbers were a bit hard to read. Some have suggested the blue pants with the traditional jersey - I disagree. Love the traditional jersey - but keep it with the maize pants. Now, I wouldn't mind seeing the blue pants with an away jersey.
October 13th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
I always thopught would look good as an alternate road/bowl game uniform.
All-navy blue at home looks like a high school team...
And the numbers were an absolute HAIL to the NAW. What the hell, didn't they learn anything from the bowl game against USC (not THAT USC) a couple of years back? LEGIBILITY IS KEY.
October 13th, 2014 at 10:15 AM ^
Tops looks good for an alternate. But I'd prefer different pants v shirt color. Still best alternate we've had, but that's not saying much.
October 13th, 2014 at 10:20 AM ^
Looked good - not too flashy but different enough to be modern
October 13th, 2014 at 10:56 AM ^
I liked the jerseys. I think they looked great.
October 13th, 2014 at 12:40 PM ^
October 13th, 2014 at 12:57 PM ^
The jerseys were pedestrian.
The yoga pants were feminine, so they were stupid for football.
The maize shoes are a disgrace.
Guess I am too old for this.
October 13th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
Your guys looked snappy out there. I liked the uniforms.
October 13th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
Sayeth a poster whose homeboyz sport a humongous gob of commercialized snot on their helmets from time to time. Oh please, don't attempt to persuade us there was no corporate branding tie-in. Swarbrick and Brandon are the same dude and there is nothing either will not change for change sake if permitted.
October 14th, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
With one subtle difference. Swarbrick is light years better than Brandon.

When are ND's pants going to go back to matching the helmet?
ND used to have one of the most classic looks in CFB with their home unis. Now they look like hand-me-downs from the varsity team.
