Equipment: Michigan to sport Mantraflage cleats in 2015
I've been sitting on this for awhile now, so I figure I'd post an equipment update since spring practice has started.
In 2015, Michigan will sport the new adidas CrazyQuick 5.0 cleats. One of the version they will wear are the Mantraflagfe cleats. They'll look something like this but will obviously have 6 words relevant to Michigan like "Victors, Valiant" on them and will be in Maize and Blue.
Mid-cut version for linemen

Here is what Miami's will look like. These were released when Miami announced that they were signing with adidas.

Just win baby

Just Do It!

If only Michigan still used the company with that slogan for its apparel. We would've never had any bumble bees, wacky stripes, or numbers that can't be seen in the sunlight.

You do know that Nike makes Alabama and PSU's uniforms too right? They haven't changed at all.
February 25th, 2015 at 1:25 PM ^
Because they don't have a Dave Brandon-type-substance for their Athletic Directors.

I actually like most of the offerings that Nike makes for the Ducks.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:41 PM ^
Miami's colors just do not work with that shoe.
Michigan one should be a lot cooler.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:41 PM ^
I'm shocked you have the self control to sit on information about equipment changes. Impressive stuff, WD
February 25th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
My guess is that it wasn't self-control at all...me thinks he feels upstaged by other posters beating him to the punch on other uniform-type updates
February 25th, 2015 at 12:42 PM ^
Get off my lawn and all that, but can we negotiate a little? Allow these cleats in exchange for shutting down Hail and Unite?
February 25th, 2015 at 12:44 PM ^
we have a deal
February 25th, 2015 at 12:45 PM ^
I hate these shoes
February 25th, 2015 at 12:45 PM ^
This is interesting. I spoke to a former player yesterday whom you are all familiar with and he specifically addressed shoes - stating that Harbs told him that we are going back to black.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:49 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 12:53 PM ^
I would LOVE us to go back to the black shoes. And if you told me we were finally returning to the white socks I'd be in uniform heaven.
Two words for the black shoes/white socks mix under the Michigan uni's
Bad
Ass

They used to play with Adidas Shelltoe flats back in the day?
February 25th, 2015 at 1:07 PM ^
From your ears...
I want that look back so much.
February 25th, 2015 at 1:22 PM ^
You're hired as assistant football equipment manager. Now go kick some asses!
February 25th, 2015 at 12:54 PM ^
Black cleats are bad assed.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
Nothing more bad ass than solid black cleats with white socks. CLASSIC!
February 25th, 2015 at 2:56 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 12:47 PM ^
These are the ugliest I have seen yet
February 25th, 2015 at 12:47 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
I think the maize cleats/white socks look awesome on the road. Gives the entire uniform good continuity/balance.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
Only pic I could find of what I'm referring to. I'm sorry.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:58 PM ^
Clowns and debutantes wear yellow shoes.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:59 PM ^
You are actually willing to admit you like that? In public?
February 25th, 2015 at 1:28 PM ^
Wrong color shoes.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:49 PM ^
522 days until we switch back to Nike or sign with Under Armor.
February 25th, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
The former player I referenced up above, along with another guy who started back int he 80s, both agreed on one thing: Nike shoes were the "fucking worst."
February 25th, 2015 at 12:56 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 1:01 PM ^
Whether they have or haven't, I've never understood this love affair with Nike. Players themselves, albeit from the past, agreed that the shoes sucked ass. I think they're opinion is educated and valid.

And, out of fairness and curiousity, what have the current players told you about Adidas?

100,000+ people still showed up to Michigan Stadium despite an inferior product. Millions of people continue to snarf down McDonald's despite its horrendous nutritional value. Cigarrette companies still exist.

February 25th, 2015 at 2:12 PM ^
they think it tastes good?
Your post come off as pretty arrogant and elitist. Let's not feed the M stereotype.
February 25th, 2015 at 2:37 PM ^
I'm not poor by any means and sometimes a Big Mac meal does the trick. I guess I have poor taste.
February 25th, 2015 at 3:57 PM ^
lol you may have poor taste. if price wasn't a factor, i can't imagine why someone would chose a bigmac over a nice grass fed porterhouse or wild caught alaskan salmon...
February 25th, 2015 at 4:27 PM ^
you actually are a pretentious prick.
