Only about as cool as the British subjecting us to Russell Brand in the Closing Ceremonies. In other words, no. But the kids probably love it, I know mine would.
All piping must go.
The jerseys we wore against NW were ideal

But we wore elephant tusks at Illinois.
Illinois: piping + tusks. NW: piping minus tusks. MSU: bumbleclowns. Sugar Bowl: Whatever those were. What did we wear against Iowa? Is it possible we pulled a subtle Oregon and wore 13 different uniforms?

The uniforms were getting shredded by defenders against NW. Several players appeared to switch back to last year's jerseys at half-time of that game and then continued to wear them the rest of the year.

The best characteristic of the maize piping is
that it won't be noticable from the stands/on tv
Take the piping off that
Take the piping off that jersey, and its perfect.
Now if they can find someway to get the maize right, seems like it'll never happen though.
I was watching the Penn State 05 Game, in comparison to now the "maize" we have looks horrible.
All your piping

was a nice road look.

Poll
For those who like the above uniform what year did you graduate high school?
I like it too, but I'm guessing its just because it was during my era. Music also started to suck shortly after I graduated high school in 1997.
Yep
'97 here too. I've got an old school Navarre 16 in this style that I'll never get rid of.

1997
No question, the 1997 road jerseys are the best ever. And not just because that team was so good. They are just the best looking the team has ever worn. No stupid piping. Nice allocation of block M's. Plus Woodson AND Brady wore them. I wish they would go back to that look permanently.

Lets hope so. I have hated our away whites since adidas took over. They looked like something I could pick up at Meijer.

I don't mind the thin maize
I don't mind the thin maize piping as shown above or on our last set of Nike whites though I would prefer the jersey to have none at all. Regardless of piping, that is a massive improvement without those horrible "elephant tusk" maize side panels.
Hail to the college whose colors we wear,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!
pre 1997 looked good too
^^ This one
seems to be the most inversely correlated to the traditional home look. The sleeve stripes are added to avoid it being a Penn State jersey, what without a maize outline on the numbers; could use a block 'M' somehwere perhaps.

It does look good

As well. Do not look like PSU! See number placement.
The "elephant tusk" jerseys
The "elephant tusk" jerseys were supposed to have been phased out before last season, but were used by players who didn't like/want the cut/fit of the TechFit jerseys, which were the newer non-tusk style. All a matter of personal preference, sometimes even changed during the course of a game.
I would assume something has been done for this season to avoid the old-stock/new-stock mismatch. Lots of time to figure out the cuts and preferences. Doesn't seem like the tight fit has been a huge hit with the players since the Adidas switch.
Said it perfectly.

I would like to see no piping and just have a white jersey. And I hate the gloves everytime I look at that I think of OSU doing it to us when they were up 40 points in the Pryor years.

At first I had no idea what you were talking about when you said "elephant tusks." I do like these jerseys much better without the "elephant tusks."
Did we have the stupid B1G logo on our jerseys last year?

Put it inside the helments?

I completely agree I hate the new logo
I think the new B1G is the worst looking logo of any conference. I wish they could have just figured out a way to hide a 12 in the BigTen like they did with 11 before Nebraska joined.
Adidas
It seems unusual to put the Adidas logo on the front of the jersey and the "M" on the back. Basically, it looks like the team plays for Adidas....not for Michigan. However, I realize that Adidas expects some exposure for the money it is shelling out.

I've always found it odd that the NFL is stricter about apparel manufacturer logos (they can't be on the front of the uniform) than the NCAA is. You'd think the amateur division would want to avoid the appearance of selling out.

The stripes on the sleeves. To me, those are the classic road jerseys (or as classic as the road jersey can be).
These aren't bad but I could do without ANY yellow piping.

Hey hey hey guys. Enough of this comparing anything about our uniforms to anything that has to do with an elephant for a while. After all, we are playing those pachyderms in 10 days.

Had to pick "trolling" because "whining" wasn't a choice.
Does anyone think it's cool to show off the logo on the glove anymore, or is it forced on them by overzealous photographers?
It's all John Navarre's fault.
