Equipment: White socks vs Blue socks
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?
I think the blue socks look better.
Blue is way better.
Maize or blue white is boring
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).
White White
Gray
Was always a fan of the blue socks. I did think the white with the road jerseys was fine back in the day.
Agreed, I'm going with blue. White is minimally acceptable, and only on the road.
The high white socks remind me too much of 70 year old men wearing tube socks with shorts.
You think it really matters Eddie?

I can go either way on this one.
Give me the blue socks every time. That is a bad ass look.
But which one does Under Armour, Adidas and Nike do the best?

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.
Forget the socks, what were they thinking with that Chris Howard face mask!?

...it says "I'm highly touted, but I'm underutilized"
white on road, blue at home. I just like the layered look.
I'd go with blue socks at home and white on the road. That way they match with the jersey.
Blue socks generally better, but without a good picture I can't tell if blue socks would look weird with the road uniforms.
Blue socks are better. But it looks as if they were wearing blue shoes in the pic so maybe that's why they made the change

Blue socks. I also prefer the length of the socks to be on the shorter end, but I get that when it gets cold they would prefer the knee high socks.
who cares

I'm going with the winning socks of whatever color

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.
White socks and black shoes distingushed us from everyone else?
Think about what you just said.
....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.
And the poster acts like having blue socks and maize and blue cleats isn't original, like every other school is wearing that combo and we're just one of the rest.
It was a weird statement on both levels.
Socks should be the same color as the jersey!
White socks are better
White socks with blue socks underneath them are the best
Don't care. Just win football games, and they can wear orange socks with purple polka dots for all I care.

That's all well and good, but what if they wear pink tu-tus?
Unless you're wearing long pants, dark socks are a embarrassing fashion faux pas.
We seem to win more often with white, so...
I like white if they are shorter and like the top photo.

Neither. Black socks. They looked dope with the black Nike cleats.

Beat me to it.
I also love the idea of it being an ode to the Fab 5.
Especially since in some of the recruiting tweets I've seen #Fab25
Blue for everything always!
^Upvoted, because Minor Threat.
I prefer blue just purely on aesthetics and it feels more badass, but i won't lose any sleep on the matter

Practice socks are always white. White Twin Cities are the standard for every player on their loop.
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.
Blue at home and white on the road.
Maize socks with an all maize uniform. A man can dream can't he?
