Go to gameday shirt
What is your go to gameday shirt / jersey?
For years my wife and I would buy the student shirt to wear to games. Its maize and we like to participate in the maize outs. I stopped buying the shirt for myself a couple of years ago and my wife did not purchase one last year. We are considering buying this years version to wear to games until the weather requires more layers.
So, what do you wear to games or while watching Michigan games?

I always try to wear the student t-shirt to gamedays, even when it gets cold. Then I add in a couple other blue/maize long sleeve layers and maize and blue scarf. If it gets cold enough then I add a maize sweatshirt. No matter what, I try to maintain the maize somewere.
Whatever I wore that morning... !
In college our tradition was to always wear our student t-shirts and we weren't allowed to wash them unless Michigan lost a game.
This proved to be a bad idea after the 2011 Western Michigan game that ended in the 3rd quarter due to a monsoon, followed by 6 straight wins.
It was also VITAL that our friend wear her lucky home underwear. We attribute the 2011-2012 undefeated home seasons to that.
did she have that same no wash policy?
Once it starts to get colder I like to wear my #2 home jersey with a long sleeve mock neck Michigan shirt under the jersey.
tend to prefer my dark navy t-shirt with Michigan arching across the front in Maize. Or, my old Champion or McGregor heavy weight sweatshirts, same style. I used to have a blue cap from Lids with Wolverines arching across the front, but its worn out. I love to see Michigan and/or Wolverines spelled out, with little else.
The student Michigan shirt.
what do you think of this season's shirt?
My satisfaction with this season's shirt will be directly proportional to how much the team wins while I'm wearing it.
But then again, I'm disappointed in all things Adidas, soooo....
I don't like the color of this shirt and I also think the dates chosen on the back are somewhat arbitrary for a program with such a storied history. But, as a current student, it's better than the last two years.
Plenty of their fans also wear white the color of their other jersey. Our problem is we chose to have maize outs and we don't have maize jerseys.
And most of us don't have maize coats when it gets really cold.

I invested in a maize coat with a block M and it's literally my favorite article of clothing. Wear it all winter long and during the spring/fall when it's rainy.
Well PSU can pull off white outs and their home jersey color is blue.
I'd agree that a sea of maize is brighter and more intimidating than a sea of navy would be, but it's _really_ a bad color on whitey. Only equatorial types can pull it off well.
One thing that I'm somewhat anxious about is the continuation of the maize pom poms. These are a MUST HAVE in my opinion; besides the fact I love using them, they make the stadium look amazing. And they are useful for people who may not own maize sweatshirts/jackets. Also, who can hate on free items.
See here- during the MSU 2012 game: (at first just the student section stands out, but after 5-10 seconds notice that the rest of the stadium suddenly becomes "maized-out"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ege_N0sGiAI
I love our pom-poms and I will be incredibly disapointed if they go away due to the new AD or new brand deal.
PS- please don't neg me for not embedding: I'm still learning how to use this site. Thanks :)
Cold/not so nice weather: maize windshirt with layers underneath.
Same day as a hockey game: maize hockey jersey

would love to see a picture of that shirt.
It's beeyoutiful. I've never been able to find another one like it. Once the season starts, I don't wash it until the season is over. So it looks a little bit better in September than it does in November.
It's also seen:
- '95 win against OSU when they dd not take us seriously enough and they played too loose
- '96 win against OSU when they took us too seriously and they played too tight
- New Year's Day '03 win against Florida
- '03 100th Michigan-Ohio State game win
- '06 ND Yakety Sax game
- New Year's Day '08 Lloyd's last game win against Florida / Tebow / Meyer
Hey! This season is it's 20th birthday. Maybe I'll spill some birthday cake on it.
I still have a ticket stub from that game, only cost $25 to get in.
It was cool how they did it up like a real bowl game, with Virginia's name in the north end zone and ours in the south.
Hottest game I've ever been to. I felt sorry for our guys, having to wear the dark jerseys. We looked really lethargic.
To this day, I think wearing the white jerseys gave VA an edge in the game.

Cold games I'll wear taller socks, hot games I'll roll up the sleeves on the sweater.
Usually only 2 games a year is it comfortable temperature wise.
Because of this, and superstition, things may change this year.
I did get the Michigan khaki dockers for my birthday...
