Jerseyz(?) Update: We Are Wearing 1974 Away (White Pants) Throwbacks This Season

Submitted by Tuebor on

I don't know if this is a jerseyz update or not but I heard that Harbaugh wants us in 1974 throwbacks for away game jerseys this year. That year the away jerseys had white pants. Personally I don't mind them.

I like them. I'm all for the white pants if they have those stripes down the side. I loved the throwback all whites in basketball and the white jerseys the hockey team sports are my favorite as well. Honestly I've never been a huge fan of our white jersey and maize pants road unis. I'm cool with a change for a game to see how it goes over but commuting for the whole year does seem a bit extreme.

I think white pants could be a good look. To me, it doesn't matter if the uniform is blue/white/maize as long as it's a good look. I love the plain white and blue practice jerseys. I hate the bumblebees. I wasn't a huge fan of the 2011 ND jersey, loved the PSU night game one. All about how it's done.

So, if we have white pants next year, what would Sparty do? Would they still say Go White? It is going to get confusing when we play Penn State.

I know it's been awhile (thanks for nothing Dave) but Michigan IS playing state at home this year. So white pants won't be worn then.

Hopefully not ever again. The more I look at that sample the more I don't care for it and like the Blue pants better. Or just stick to what it always has been.

WD, do those jerseys look similar to the ones rumored to be the new road jerseys? I know they have solid blue numbers. It would make sense to have the white pants with those jerseys.

They do. They're very plain. Though I think the one shown back when that tweet came out was a sample of what the jersey may look like.

We shall know soon. The MDen catalog is shipping and will be here any day now. The last couple of years have dropped some unexpected bombshells. UTL III uniform was revealed when the catalog shipped as was the annual Hockey jersey circus where I get increasingly angry about them changing every year.

BTW, MDen confirmed they're changing AGAIN. They also told me Basketball will be getting new uniforms this year as well to reflect the fixed Maize coloring as well as just an update template.

Those look fine.  I'm all for simplifying things and think maybe Harbaugh and the team are rallying behind that.  I'm so glad they did away with Brandon's merit badge program.

at Stanford, fall of '74.  Not a good look.  The maize stripes disappear, so there's nothing to pick up the maize in the helmet.  Looks like a blue and white uni with a maize and blue helmet.  Maybe they'll look better on TV.

at Stanford in the fall of '74.  Not a good look.  Very bland.  The maize stripes disappear, leaving the uni looking white and blue and the helmet maize and blue, but in a diminshed way, because the maize pants usually bring out the wing design.  Maybe it'll look better on TV.

Blue pants. I would love to see them with the road uni's and our traditional home jerseys. I liked the all blue look last year vs Penn State

I know we are talking about a new permanent away jersey, but as far as alternates go... I don't mind them at all every once in awhile. It just annoys the crap out of me they are made for our big games, generally against big time programs and rivals. I.e. we looked so stupid rolling out against alabama in those jerseys---not because of the specific design, but because it should have been our two classic uniforms lining up. Same with playing psu and same with ..yes.. sparty. I wish we could save the pizazz alternating each year away at Rutgers and Maryland being that they will likely be prime time more often than not and other games like that....

The only time we got to see the white uniforms during the season was on the local news sportscasts and of course in the tough loss to OU!  I was 11 and still remember losing to OSU at the end of the season and to OU. Missouri, OSU and OU were the only games televised that season. But the white pants looked cool in the Orange Bowl.
