Jersey changes. Thanks DB.

As long as we win, I don't care. I thought the UTL jerseys looked good and I'll gladly take some jersey changes and winning over traditional jerseys only and the RR era losing.

In the end, it's still all about winning and getting back respect for Michigan.

Bitch

It will only be for one game.

At this point, I just hope we don't have highlighter colored jerseys and chrome helmets.

you must be OK with the idea of having a mascot, too.

"There is no greater tradition in college football today than the uniform that you wear."

I dont hate alternate jersyes per se but there are certain programs that dont need that gimmick. Alabama is the prime example to me I suppose. Make winning your shtick and you'll be fine. I think Texas and Oklahoma would be  on the list too. USC. The teams that have been premier teams for decades and decades. Michigan has the longest history of being a premier program so leaving the jersy alone is just fine.

M's uniform is consistently rated as one of the best in CFB, why mess with that?Tweaks are one thing, wholesale deviation is another.  It'd be like Coca Cola changing to Helvetica or something.

The way the NFL has handled their logo evolution is pretty spot on, IMO.

If we're going down this road I'd propose we do it for 'new prime games'. Wear them against Nebraska for example. Wear them for the marquee OOC games...which leaves me conflicted here. Michigan vs. Notre Dame is so old school, I'd choose to keep the classic uni's if it were my call to make.

eh, its not though. I hope I like them.

Is there a link to this or something? A tweet? I'm confused

winning helps perception. Had we lost UTL1 I wouldn't be as big of a fan (not a huge one but give a "stitching and such is kinda cool" opinion) if those. The same for the Sugar Bowl jersey. Yet, win or lose some are just wrong. The bumblebee unis were atrocious, win or lose. Outback Bowl? wtf were those things? Bama game was like a mix of bumblebees and regulars. I admit to living our old Nike/Carr era alternates which were worn maybe 3 times and in revenge home ganes. They were nothing more than a darker blue, all wearing knee high socks and the true color of maize as opposed to highlighter yellow. I'm 30. I'm open to small, classy changes for legit big games. I'm don't yell for kids to get off my lawn. Yet, this shit has to stop. SMALL, CLASSY CHANGES IN A BIG GAME LIKE TONIGHT? Ok. Fine. Other than that, just stick to our normals. We're not Oregon and don't need to be. Our unis speak for themselves.

It's obvious. LEATHER HELMETS!!!!!!!

On a positive note... no one can say that Michigan is "old and stodgy" any more.  DB and his Marketing guy are at least trying new things and staying "current".

However, there is something to be said for tradition.  Not tradition for the sake of tradition...but traditional thoughts such as pride, focus etc.  Some of that gets lost every time one of these unis gets rolled out.

Maize jerseys and white pants.  Wooooo!

The players want it? I'm ok with it.

Can we throw back to the days when teams wore the same jersey the whole season?

Since we are playing ND if we have to have alternative jerseys, I vote for Alabama's

Part of me hopes that it's shirts vs. skins just so everyone gets over this jersey nonsense. They could come out in neon polka dots for all I care.

If it's a chrome helmet I will have to seriously consider leaving the stadium.

My bet is that they're the maize tops. Also, after reading through this thread it reminds me that regardless of us rooting for the same team, there's a good portion of you that I just don't like. Some of you just cannot stop complaining.

crap for posting this, but I like the atlernate jerseys, and my dad does as well.  Other than not being able to see the numbrs in the bowl game, I've liked every jersey they've put out over the last few years.  

Also, just my 2 cents, but isn't it really about what the players want? A kid from my high school was being recruited by d1 football teams, and I asked him about some schools, and one of the first things he would mention was "their uniforms are sick". So, if the recruits like it, and the players want it, they should get it.  IT SHOULD NOT be about what a bunch of people on an online board want. 

who cares you people whine too much

If it is maize jerseys, I would really like that. I think that we should have three sets of jerseys - blue (home), white (road) and maize (alternative home or away jersey). Maize jerseys to be worn twice per year - once at home and once on the road. I always love it when the b-ball team breaks out the maize. They should make the jerseys consistent year to year, but have three options

...it's gone! #MajorLeague'd

I can kind of semi-deal with the alternate uniforms as long as they're freaking BLUE. Also, they're not "alternate uniforms" when you wear them for every big national game. You now just have 10 different uniforms. 

Nevertheless, I'll wait to pass judgment until I see them. Maybe they just added some stupid patch or something. 

Both sides of this argument have valid points. My thing is if you're gonna have alternate jerseys just make sure they look nice. I've only really been upset about the white bumble bee jersey in EL a couple years back.

What I just seen when the players were walking out they looked like the good ole normal home uni's to me !

Which makes me happy, FERGODSAKES!
