Pretty sweet! I'm impressed WBB that you beat WD to this post! Go Blue!
November 25th, 2015 at 11:46 AM ^
Still in bed on my phone. Thanksgiving week = sleep in week.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:48 AM ^
Haha we'll give you a pass this time big guy!!
November 25th, 2015 at 12:54 PM ^
Kids these days...when I was your age we had already started drinking at 11:45am.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:41 AM ^
Any alternate uniform from Adidas always worries me, but I actually love these.

I'm waiting for the big reveal where we discover something like a block O or a swastika or something similar on the other side.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:01 PM ^
but these are pretty sweet
November 25th, 2015 at 12:06 PM ^
But weird that we're wearing "iced out" uniforms in the Bahamas.
Oooh, you mean "ice" like diamonds? Like the diamond pattern? Got it.
November 25th, 2015 at 1:19 PM ^
To me, it looks like a clean, solid white jersey with clean maize numbers, outlined in ungaudy blue.
EDIT: Now that I look more closely, there is a diamond-like off-white-on-white pattern on the sides. The best thing about the pattern is that it is hardly noticable. Give some designer his year-end bonus for that but don't attract my attention to it.
November 25th, 2015 at 1:44 PM ^
They look like practice jerseys to me, but compared to what Adidas has put us in lately, I'd say that's a big improvement.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:41 AM ^
Please just keep these all year!!!!
November 25th, 2015 at 11:44 AM ^
Adidas jerseys sometimes don't even make it to the 2nd half.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:42 AM ^
Love em. MBB's generally had good alternates.
Recently has been pretty bad with the tribal pattern shortz and the cummerbund shortz last year, but the 1989 throwbacks were great, the Wolverines tournament uniforms were great, the Cazzie era uniforms were great and the Bleed Outs were spectacular.
Mainly because our top-3 team rocked them.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:42 AM ^
These are better than their normal ones, please keep these all year.

These are great - Adidas is like your ex being super nice to you in a desperate attempt to make you re-think the break-up. These are so much better-looking than the tire tracks unis.
They remind me of the football team's road whites, too. While I'd like that to be a 2015 thing only (I prefer the maize pants), I like the consistency across sports.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:43 AM ^
These seem like the sequel to Bleed Out as they're called Iced Out.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:44 AM ^
These look way better than the normal ones...
November 25th, 2015 at 11:48 AM ^
I don't like them. Kinda plain, and maize letters/numbers/logos don't look as good.
But they are way, way, way better than the normal uniforms we have this year.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:50 AM ^
get rid of those dumb looking shorts
November 25th, 2015 at 11:54 AM ^
Meh. I hate all-white basketball uniforms. For Michigan, I want blue at home and maize on the road.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:58 AM ^
Uh.....Michigan has been wearing home whites since the 40s....
November 25th, 2015 at 12:19 PM ^
Uh.....I know that. All I said is what I prefer. Relax, youngling.
November 25th, 2015 at 1:23 PM ^
Uh....relax, mate - WD was just pointing out the facts

The white basketball jersey is a classic...
November 25th, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
Classic.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
Is make the piping on the shorts match the trim on the jersey...don't like how it's skinnier on the shorts.
Do that, and keep these jersyes forever. Make a maize and a navy version.
Just modernize the cut of the jersey like the top NIKE schools did last year...
Please MJ, please give us the throwback traditional Cazzie's with a modern technology cut and material! Please!
November 25th, 2015 at 12:33 PM ^
didn't quite match the originals, but I couldn't put my finger on it. +1. Thanks!
November 25th, 2015 at 3:27 PM ^
Negged only bc of duke. Even though I 100% agree with you. Was there no other example you could have used? Haha
November 25th, 2015 at 1:00 PM ^
The ones Trey's wearing look a lot like our football whites. I like
November 25th, 2015 at 1:19 PM ^
Addidas used the same design just made them for football

Dark on the road.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
So why is it reversed in football? Dark at home and light away?
November 25th, 2015 at 12:15 PM ^
Not sure. And in (NHL) hockey I believe it's flipped a few times on which you wear at home and which you wear on the road - I could be wrong.
Also, some football teams (LSU/S. Carolina) wear white at home rather than on the road...which is why it was weird when LSU hosted S. Carolina because they had to wear their road (dark) uniforms while playing in their home stadium - even though most teams wear dark at home.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:27 PM ^
It has definitely flipped in the NHL. Back in the 90s and maybe even early 00s, the Red Wings wore white at home and red on the road; now it is reversed and has been that way for some time now.
I'm just saying that the non-white jersey always features the most prominent colors of a team and wearing white goes against that. To me, you want to feature your prominent colors at home and that is why I wish Michigan would wear their blue uniforms when playing at the Crisler Center.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:28 PM ^
Exactly. I love that Michigan wears blue uniforms at home for football. I don't understand why they cannot/won't for basketball. As far as I know, it's not a rule to wear white at home.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:37 PM ^
I was curious so I did some digging, it actually is a rule outside of exceptions like Mr. Yost said.

November 25th, 2015 at 12:49 PM ^
Interesting. Well, that is a stupid rule. To me, white is a road jersey, no matter the sport.
November 25th, 2015 at 2:41 PM ^
To wear dark at home during special occasions.
The yellow is still considered light, so you can wear those at home without permission. You can wear light grey at home without permission as well.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
Sure, but that isn't a rule. All I said is what I want.
EDIT: It is a rule (albeit a dumb one) according to a couple posts above.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:58 AM ^
Sorry. I only read these posts if they are posted by WD.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:01 PM ^
Iced out!
November 25th, 2015 at 12:02 PM ^
ZOMG THESE ARE JUST AWFUL!!!
THE PIPING AROUND THE NUMBER IS .7 MILLIMETERS TOO BIG AND THE ADIDAS PATCH SHOULD BE ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!
November 25th, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
I'll even take them over the maize road tracks uni's.
Can't we just get a plain maize version of these with navy numbers...and a plain navy version of these with maize numbers?
All 3 would be better than what we're currently wearing.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:07 PM ^
Anything but the road track unis!
November 25th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
Can we keep those all year please?
November 25th, 2015 at 12:10 PM ^
We will win because we don't have a god damn tire around our ass.
