MGoPoll: White or Maize pants on the road

Submitted by MGoRedemption on
I just wanted to get the Blog's opinion on if the iconic maize pants should return. While I don't dislike the white pants, when rewatching away games of the past two years I can't help but to think Michigan would look a lot better in the maize pants. Click the link and vote.

I've always wanted us to use blue pants at least part of the time. If it was up to me, we'd wear blue pants in something like half the road games, maize most of the other half, with white popping up on a rare occasion. Also once every couple years I wouldn't mind solid blue at home. But no white pants at home ever. And don't EVER mess with the helmet!

I've changed my mind on the white - didn't like for the first quarter of the Utah game and then became a huge fan.  They MUST have the maize and blue stripe though.

The all-whites just looks better, hands down. But I'd be willing to bet the Maize pants make a recurring alternate appearance for away games at Happy Valley, starting this year. Gotta contrast their White-Outs. (The word "white" is beginning to look weird.)

like Harbaugh, my earliest experience w/ the team was via the Gordon Bell years.  I loved the symmetry of the subtle stripe on the sleeves and pants, along with how the all white contrasted and highlighted our iconic helmets.   Besides, the uniforms just looked so badass when they would take the field in an Ohio stadium.  By comparison, the maize pants almost seem like an expense cutting measure allowing equipment managers to only manage 1 pair of pants per player.  And I always hated the white jersey with the yellow piping that went with the maize pants-- cheezy.

I was originally hesitant about the white pants, but they've grown on me.  The maize pants were OK but I was never in love with them on the road, with a white jersey.  (At home, matched with the blue jersey, of course they are fantastic.)

At this point I'd stick with the whites - but I'd take either over blue.  I'm not a fan of blue pants, home or away.
