FYI - Michigan Will Be The Away Team

Submitted by MaizeBlueA2 on November 28th, 2021 at 3:05 AM

The B1G doesn't do best record, East is home in even years, West is home in odd years.

Would love to see us go blue pants to get the maize-ish and blue contrast with Iowa's pants...I'd expect we go all white.

We will be in the visiting team locker room, instead of the Colts locker room, and we are introduced second.

I like blue pants I cannot lie, you other brothers can’t deny, that when we wear blue pants, we put away the cants and we tend to win

Fuck ‘em up. Go Blue!

Edit: We’ve worn the maize with white in a few games, the blue on blue a couple of times and the traditional maize with blue top in several. Only white on white was at Nebraska. Only loss was to MSU in maize pants and white top. Don’t think it really matters, whatever is a good contrast to Iowa’s uniforms.

An NCAA FAQ says visiting teams must wear white: 

What are the rules about jersey colors for opposing teams? By rule the visiting team must wear white jerseys. This means white, which does not include light gray, pale yellow, etc. The home team may wear white, but only if they get written agreement with the visiting team before the season starts (Rule 1-4-5-b).

Unless the "home" teams says it's OK to wear otherwise:

Is it possible for the visiting team to wear their home (colored) jerseys? This is possible, under these conditions (Rule 1-4-5-b): • The home team must agree in writing before the game. • The home team’s conference must certify that the color of the visiting team’s jersey is in contrast with that of the home team. • If the visiting team wears colored jerseys without meeting these conditions, it is assessed a 15-yard penalty before the first play from scrimmage after the opening kickoff in each half.

Here's another vote for unbeaten blue pants; prefer blue shirts as yesterday.  Otherwise, wear white shirts and get on with it!  (never realized jersey colors were so important; "jersey" seems to imply shirt rather than both shirt and pants)

RE: being in the visiting locker room. Big deal. I don't see Kirk Ferentz's name on the Colt's Ring of Honor. In the candid words of ATHF's Carl, "It don't matter, none of this matters".
