Gear Watch: Michigan Uniform Socks available on Footlocker
I'm not sure if anyone else on the board is a gear head, but the socks that the basketball team has been wearing are available on Eastbay/Footlocker.com if anyone is interested.
Colors available are the standard Blue with maize trim, as well as the Bleed out all maize socks.
These socks provide excellent cushion and moisture wicking, but are a tad on the pricey side. The all-maize ones are a lot less neon in person.

Yes! My wardrobe needs some highlighter!
I am going on vacation for a few days tomorrow, I have only had 2 drinks here, but I am oddly considering picking up the blue ones. If they aren't too thick, they might work well under hockey skates as well.
Did we really need to get in on the "bright yellow" knee high sock market?
Really?
The target market of sorority girls is large, and they are not known for a dearth in disposible income.
I think the idea of sorority girls in those socks is hot hot hot!!!!
maybe it's just me?
ps. sorority dudes would be hot too, I don't want to exclude a huge part of the michigan demographic.
Maybe if I enjoyed having swarms of bees around my ankles at all times, then yes.
Well, I bought a pair. If only I could had worn these under my suit at my grandpa's funeral last year. Nobody would had questioned the "odd" choice of sock color, lol.
If one owns a pair of these socks, the receiver gloves MDen sells, and any of the stripey alternate jerseyz from the past two years, one can go from zero-to-doofus in about sixty seconds or less.
The Brand, The Brand, The Brand
Receiver gloves- check
All 5 alternate jerseys- check (awaiting on Outback Bowl jersey to arrive)
Socks? Soon to be check.
Proud to be a Doofus!

I will find a way to posbang the heck out of you if you wear all of those at the same time to a public (non-Michigan sporting event) venue and document it on these here pages.

Once you've crossed the fashion bridge into wearing a sports jersey, does it really matter what the jersey looks like?
I don't think these socks look half bad. Obviously, I'd only wear them to the gym or to go running or whatever, but who's going to judge me on my workout attire?
Im getting old, Gear heads used to be guys who liked big motors and fast cars. Now it means you like soft fluffy socks.
Might as well get the shoes to go with them.

I bought the maize n blue ones a while ago from some website. I have to agree, very comfy and padded socks. Plus I love rocking maize and blue.
Is it telling that the color is described as navy/sun?
Yes, it is very telling.
they only have a Large foot size left, and I need an Extra Small (don't judge me!).

Socks are the new shoes! None of the cool kids wear plain white socks anymore.

Not going to lie. Robert Griffin III got me into different socks other than just plain whites.
