Equipment: Block M still on helmet nose bumper?
When the new road uniforms were unveiled via twitter by Chris Partidge, it featured of photo of De'Veon Smith sporting the winged helmet that once again had the "MICHIGAN" wordmark on the nose bumper.
Judging by the photo tweeted out by Erik Campbell of the team's locker room just recently, it appears they're still going to wear the helmets with the Block M on the nose bumper that was introduced last year.
If you enlarge the photo, you can also tell that Michigan will be wearing the Block M thighpads as well as they are in the lockers.

The block M does look a bit cleaner. To be honest it doesn't really matter to me one way or the other but if you put a gun to my head I'd choose the other.

Apparently you do, since you clicked on the thread and felt compelled enough to comment.
And sorry, but you're outnumbered in regards to the white pants.
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:52 PM ^
I like the pants. Not sure about the thigh pads yet.
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:58 PM ^
I don't care for them but you won't be able to tell on TV unless there's a close-up.

They're wearing white pants though. That changes things.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:10 PM ^
Now I really do not want.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
wow, that really looks awful.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:47 PM ^
Regretably, however, they make the bulge seem small in comparison and thus require a towel for modesty.
September 2nd, 2015 at 10:49 PM ^
I mean i get it... We are Michigan... with the brand "M"....but shit, how many brand/logos do we reaaaalllly need plastered all over the uniforms to get the point that the team coming out of the tunnel is Michigan? ... I mean It is really not that big of a deal but jeez C'MON MAN, I think it is just a tad to much. Hopefully those thigh pads aren't that noticable like they are with Miami's.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
Except he isn't. The white pants are awful. They looked bad in 74 and they look bad now. Michigan should always be in maize pants. Period.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:23 PM ^
pretty strong for pants color. all white is the perfect contrast to a great home uniform. not the biggest concern right now.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:47 PM ^
if we win 42-7
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:49 PM ^
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:44 PM ^
I don't like them. Much prefer the maize pants. Either way, I don't think opinions will be fully crystalized until tomorrow night.

September 2nd, 2015 at 6:02 PM ^
Trust me....you're not alone. A lot of people hate the white pants. The more vocal portion happens to like them. White football pants reminds me of peewee/middle school football.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:11 PM ^
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:45 PM ^
It's not like they are plain white, the maize and blue stripe on the side looks pretty sweet . When we're kicking ass and taking names they're gonna look tits!
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:18 PM ^
Well, Jim Harbaugh disagrees with you, so you're going to have to deal.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:16 AM ^
I'd be more concerned about teams that wear white pants against us...gonna look real fugly when them britches turn brown in the crotchal region. Just sayin.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:32 PM ^
...day until Michigan takes the field wearing these:
and looking like this!
H A I L !!!

Vomit.
September 2nd, 2015 at 10:43 PM ^
What?...... l have been waiting 40 years for the return of white pants.
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:43 PM ^
Sort of on the subject: Does anyone know whether the team is only allowed to wear black shoes? I thought I'd heard something to this effect.

To add to the confusion, the helmet in the graphics on Inside Michigan Football has the MICHIGAN bumper, and the helmet the official Facebook account was using to take pictures of fans heading out to Utah had nothing on the bumper...
So who the hell knows?
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:53 PM ^
Who the hell knows is right. Even the graphics department has tweeted out edits of recruits with the Block M and the MICHIGAN-
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:04 PM ^
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:55 PM ^
Here is one of the tweets. Obviously it could be the graphic department using last year's uniforms. but who cares. It's Michigan football dammit.
Love this edit #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/NtkyOjv9bA

Thank God those Shockweb jerseys were never worn. Cheap adidas templates.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:08 PM ^
I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:35 PM ^
Nike cleats and an adidas jersey
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:51 PM ^
Hmm, I hope Harbaugh choses correctly. This is probably the deciding factor in the game tomorrow.

Black cleats (as seen in the photo) are going to be worn by mostly everyone it appears.
That's what the talk was all offseason and it appears that's the case. Those highlighter ones are the UTL III cleatz from last year.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:17 PM ^
Black cleats are boring. The whole point of going to Nike/Jumpman next year is because of the footwear. It's pretty clear fashion isn't Harbaugh's forte. Let the kids wear some maize and blue footwear if they want.
September 2nd, 2015 at 6:36 PM ^
The kids aren't head coach.
Harbaugh has brought back tradition: white socks and black shoes.
