Equipment: White socks vs Blue socks

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Blue or White socks at home?

It looks like White socks are back if you go by what we saw in the spring game and every single spring practice. 

I'm pretty happy because that's Michigan has always wore prior to 2003 when Blue socks were introduced.

White socks at home like the old days

 

And on the road

 

Blue socks were introduced in 2003, team-wide.

 

What do you think? White or Blue socks?

What would Heisman-winners do?

I researched and found that Woodson wore white, Howard wore white and oddly, Harmon wore gray (along with a black jersey and black and gray helmet).

But because we were good with the white socks, people are going to say white...like it made a difference.

Also like the maize and blue cleats over black.

Blue. White socks make the players look like they're back in the 80s and archaic. Not to mention white is just random when our colors are maize and blue.

....for both Home & Road.  I never liked the blue socks - I felt that we lost an important aspect of our traditional uniform (like the black shoes) that distinquished us from everyone else.

....everyone went with white shoes except Michigan, Penn State and USC.  Even schools like Alabama, Texas and Notre Dame, schools steeped in "old school" football traditions, went with the white shoes trend of that time.

I prefer blue just purely on aesthetics and it feels more badass, but i won't lose any sleep on the matter

I like the white but I dont like the full white sock. I would prefer it to be half or I like the half white with the blue under spandex pant, makes it look like the NFL 2 tone socks.

I wouldn't mind seeing us go back to white socks. They looked okay, and it would bring back some history. I also like the look of the blue socks.
