Harbaugh confirms: WHITE PANTS on the road
October 14th, 2019 at 7:29 PM ^
I'm pretty wore out on the white pants. Miss the classic Michigan road unis.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
Why are you worn out by what pants they wear?
October 14th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
If I had to guess, because the maize accents the curves of their buttocks much better.
October 14th, 2019 at 8:17 PM ^
Looks like they’re wearing nothing at all...nothing at all...nothing at all.
October 14th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
Stupid Flanders sexy butt
October 14th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Stupid sexy Flanders.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
He's a pants watcher.
October 14th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
He’s mad they’re wearing white after Labor Day.
October 14th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
I hope my pants are a little more white after the game...
October 14th, 2019 at 10:06 PM ^
Great episode, great gif
October 15th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
They should edit the gif so it goes in reverse too, that would be perfection.
October 15th, 2019 at 1:53 AM ^
Ummm... the white pants are considered the classics. The maize pants are the modern unis.
Yeah I guess you can debate the terms "classic" and "throwback", but I think all white just looks classy.
FWIW, I also think the away uniforms in the Carr era were sharp.

"Ummm... the white pants are considered the classics. The maize pants are the modern unis."
What in the hell are you talking about? Michigan has worn maize pants since 1940, and before that the pants were a drab tan color. The white pants first appeared in 1973 and were abandoned after 1975. They are most definitely not "the classic" Michigan pants. JFC.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:31 PM ^
There fans will be wearing white for Michigan!
October 14th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
Will there fans be their in support of they're players or ours?
Sorry, rough day, you get my snark!
October 14th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
"Weird Al" Yankovic understands.

Take a break, and enjoy your avatar.

M whiteout contribution.....
October 14th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
The current white on white road look is great. I am not a fan of the current white jerseys with maize pants.
White and maize looked better together with the old Adidas & Nike white jerseys, imo.
Then again maybe I'm just used to the white on white ?♂️
Either way - just WIN THE DAMN GAME.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
Well, fuck.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
Honestly should just wear home uniforms everywhere. I don't think there's a larger disparity in quality of home vs away jerseys than at Michigan.
For some reason the away jerseys have just been crap since the late 90s. Idk what it is. With TV, it shouldn't be that hard to discern teams except at obvious places like Happy Valley where you'd have to wear another color.
Edit: If we have to wear an away jersey, why not maize tops on blue pants? Can't be that bad can it? Certainly less boring than white on white.
October 14th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Like this?
October 15th, 2019 at 8:02 AM ^
Must wear white jerseys.
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).
October 15th, 2019 at 9:19 AM ^
Also known as the "Shawn Walsh Rule." Walsh was Maine's hockey coach who got tired of watching Michigan win national titles in their maize jerseys (excuse me-sweaters).
October 15th, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
Bad take
October 15th, 2019 at 5:27 PM ^
With TV, it shouldn't be that hard to discern teams
Aside from the fact that it is an NCAA rule, you're also clearly not aware of the NFL color rush uniform incident with the Bills and the Jets.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:38 PM ^
White on white in a whiteout.
There's something about this that's so white, it's like, how much more white could this be?
October 14th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Agree. Of all places to wear white on white....a whiteout on the road at PSU. Can we just borrow their road uniforms they wore at Iowa?
October 14th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
How much more? New Hampshire, Maine, Iceland...?
October 15th, 2019 at 7:25 AM ^
Well, NORWAY of course
October 14th, 2019 at 9:13 PM ^
None. None more white.
October 14th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
The great Nigel Tufnel.
October 14th, 2019 at 10:11 PM ^
What the south side needs is Mo White.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:39 PM ^
White pants are trash.
Maize is the best pants.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:40 PM ^
let's just be thankful someone is asking the tough questions.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
At least there aren't any dumbass questions.
October 14th, 2019 at 9:08 PM ^
BTW, White Pants are also hitting their stride!!!
October 14th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
Doesn't Harbaugh know you don't wear white after labor day
October 14th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Maybe dumb brain thought by me, but if you’re in a sea of white-out fans, doesn’t it make it more difficult to discern your teammates in the periphery? Just seem like you would want colors that stand out against the background.
October 14th, 2019 at 8:23 PM ^
I don't think players on the field blend with fans in the stands. The stadium seating is elevated...
October 14th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Ohio State went with an all-white look for their 2014 road game at PSU (a white-out) ....... supposedly (according to one OSU beat-writer, but this still sounds a bit apocryphal), the Buckeye rationale was that it would be harder for the PSU offense to see the OSU defenders.
October 14th, 2019 at 10:39 PM ^
Camouflage seems like a good thing. It would just make it harder for Sean Clifford to see Lavert Hill running stride for stride with his receivers.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
The first victory of the week!
October 14th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Harbaugh's teams have a 1.000 win percentage at State College with white pants and .000 with maize pants. No question about it.
October 14th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Undefeated. Never lost.
October 14th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
Yeah, we beat a JUGGERNAUT of a ped state team who ended up 7-6 that year!
October 14th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Oh what the hell - wear the bumblebee 2011 uniforms. Or use blue pants.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
Well, we tried.
October 14th, 2019 at 7:55 PM ^
This seems stupid...will be harder for our guys to distinguish our players. Just wear the home uni’s.
