MBB to Wear 1968 Throwback Jerseys vs Penn State
According to Rothstein:
Michigan basketball is going to wear 1968 throwback jerseys for its home game on Feb. 17 against Penn State. Part of the Crisler dedication.

Looks like you can buy Cazzie's at the MDen too: http://www.mden.com/shopping/product.cgi?TI1203+2030
Are these some jerseys people like for once? I for one approve, and wish they weren't so expensive to buy.
EDIT: pasadenablue made me realize I have no pic of them, he posted one a few posts down to compare to our home jerseys from a few years ago, here they are:

So, basically, they're wearing what our home uniforms should look like all the time?
Support.

Do the players like them?

And short-shorts?!
February 6th, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
I like
February 6th, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
They're not really that different than what the home ones used to look like a couple of seasons ago.
February 7th, 2013 at 12:19 AM ^
So these are actual, legit throwbacks, and not "throwbacks." I support.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
The trim's the same, but the lettering is quite different.

Live long & prosper

Is it just me or is Stu looking like Lloyd Christmas here?
February 7th, 2013 at 9:00 AM ^
Is that Lloyd Christmas?
February 7th, 2013 at 10:55 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 9:09 PM ^
I like them a lot, actually. Classic.
People actually liking a special uniform? My head may explode.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
I hope they don't wear throwback shorts, Might be a bit uncomfortable for the boys.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
I would bet Stouskas' legs would be brighter than our jerseys last night
February 6th, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
We should wear them the rest of the season
February 6th, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
I hate them, not bright enough. Damn you David Brandon!!! *shakes fist furiously*
February 6th, 2013 at 9:14 PM ^
Are they wearing the short shorts too?
February 6th, 2013 at 9:17 PM ^
Remember when the Lakers and Celtics wore the short shorts for a throwback night a few years ago? They changed out of them at halftime.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:24 PM ^
It looked terrible when they did that because of the modern baggey jerseys. The players who wore ankle socks looked especially bad.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
The compression shorts longer than the actual shorts certainly don't help matters.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:25 PM ^
Also, I hope they include the belts.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
#45 in the front row is sophomore Rudy Tomjanovich.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
When his jersey was retired, I remembr one of the students in the maize rage held up a sign that said, "Our Rudy was good."
February 7th, 2013 at 10:02 AM ^
...Rudy came off the bench behind my dad.

... not wearing any shorts.
February 7th, 2013 at 1:35 AM ^
There's a very good reason they all have their hands in their laps with those shorts on.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:18 PM ^

That font should be a Michigan standard. Basketball and football. It oughta be a law.
Note, 1968 football uniforms; same thing:
And most of all; note the circle-M socks. Both football and basketball. Some of these tribute themes are so obviously overlooked; I almost hate to suggest things for adidas, knowing how they will screw it up.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
Now that's a nice jersey.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
I should be dead by then, so yeah, go for it. If still alive, there's a reasonable chance my eyes will have healed from the damage caused by last night's unis.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:32 PM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 9:32 PM ^
I'm actually excited about this. This is the way to do alternate jerseys, as was a few years ago when they wore the 1989 throwbacks. A good, clean, classic look that hearkens back to one of the golden ages of Michigan basketball (the 1968 uniforms appear to be the same as the Cazzie teams of 1964-66 wore).
Plus they won't sear my retinas.

-The all maize/bleed out jerseys are "OK" now because...THEY WON. Just like UTL and The Sugar Bowl jerseys.
Adidas for the next 100 years.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
Should wear these bad boys vs MSU at Crisler.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
No....wear these for the MSU game
February 6th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
The fab five jerseys are absolutely perfect. The trim looks awesome, the color looks awesome, and the shorts have a block M and nothing else. Why can't we have nice things anymore?
