Michigan Football uniform change: 150 logo patch will appear on the jerseys
Wow that looks bad. It’s not even just bad on The Michigan uniform. That’s just a bad logo. Period.
It seems that the design goal was to ensure that the logo looks equally bad on every uniform. Mission accomplished!
It wouldn't be so bad if it were positioned/spaced better along with not being a default white background. If the logo were white on our blue background you could make it work- and for all teams.
The way that is it looks like trash.

This was apparently announced in 2018 but I just didn't see it reported anywhere that we were participating in this program promoting the 150th year of football.
This was a common practice 50 years ago in 1969 as many teams had some kind of 100 logo on their helmets. Some places with no iconic helmets even changed their logo to just the number 100 inside of a football-

Hey WD, any word on bringing back maize pants for the road uni?
No. I wouldn't be surprised if we wear Maize again pants during PSU's "white out", though.
Absolutely! Those damned white pants are bad luck. They were in the '70s, and they are now. White should be restricted to away jerseys.
We can wear all hot pink uniforms with floral design helmets for all I care as long as we win at PSU this year!
"Some places with no iconic helmets..." I see what you did there ?
I think it’s a high school team
And I see what you did there. #Disrespekt
Does the logo change into a giant $ when sweat is applied?
The logo looks bad, but Khaleke is looking YOKED!!!
Man I'm 27 years old and even I cannot keep up with these new adjectives for big muscles.
Careful, in about 5 years it will mean something sexual
Yoked has been a popular colloquialism for strong since you were a teenager my dude
Im 31, but I didnt want to make the lad feel bad...sorry...feel jive?
Why? Does it really have to be on the uniform?
It looks just as bad as the stupid B1G logo. Give me back the clean jersey look from the 90s...
The swoosh is in two different spots.
This photo is from 1998 when the Swoosh moved to the center. Our 1995-97 jerseys featured it on the side. Once we got the new uniforms in 1998, the 1995-97 ones became our practice jerseys. So Brady and Henson are in their game uniforms on media day but Jason Kapsner was in his practice jersey.
You have a wealth of knowledge/information about U of M sports. Thanks for the postings.
Kapsner lived up to the juju of that jersey number....
Also great post, thanks!
Practice jerseys/uniforms back in the day were a mixed bag. Often, they were old stock just repurposed. Early in the Nike era, they were putting swooshes on old Russell practice pants (and maybe jerseys, too). Wouldn't be surprising if Brady and Henson got the new stuff, but Jason Kapsner got the old stock.
Any other year I'd say "give me back those QB's too" but I think we'll be just fine this year.
Never really understood the need for the B1G logo to be on the uniforms AND the field.
No need for conference pride. I love Michigan. Fuck everybody else.
Exactly. What are they advertising? Look, that logo makes me want to get the B1G network, where do I sign up?
Too funny +1
That’s a great pic.
And as in the photo, get the maize right!
"That #7 is a QB out of central casting. Wish coach would let him start instead of that #10 bum"--me in the 90s
Gross
I actually don't mind it if I see it in the endzone enough, it can even stay.
Looks like someone drew 150 on a piece of tape with a Sharpie. Not a fan.
Yuck
Wait, wait, wait; that ugly white thing IS THE ACTUAL patch??!?! What the bloody hell?!? I first thought somebody scratched something on a post-it note and put it there to symbolize a patch yet to come. That's horrible, just pure ugly.
It looks like someone left a $50 price tag on it from picking up the jersey at a damn yard sale!! WD please tell me this isn't true??
This is from the press release from 2018 that went undetected-
The College Football 150th Anniversary will be a celebration for all divisions of the sport, beginning in just 56 days as the calendar turns to 2019. A season-long campaign, the uniform logo program will be the most widespread effort of its kind in the history of college athletics.
At the FBS and FCS levels, 100 percent of those Division I schools have placed orders for jersey patches indicating they will participate next season. CFB150 staff has been working with NCAA, NAIA and junior college institutions to survey membership and more than 200,000 uniform patches and helmet decals have been ordered for delivery in February 2019 for season-long use. The uniform logos are available at no cost to the institutions.
Placement of the logo was approved earlier this year by the NCAA Football Rules Committee. The recommended location is on the right chest, above the conference logo on most FBS and FCS uniforms. Teams at the NCAA Division II and III levels, along with NAIA and junior college schools have the option of utilizing a helmet decal. Patches will also be made available to game officials through their national associations. In addition, the AFCA will partner with CFB150, with coaches wearing them on the field during the first week of the season as part of a co-branded mark.You can purchase your own CFB150 patch at The Emblem Source.com
Undetected?
You're slipping, young man.
;-)
I hope we are making some $$ on wearing that goofy patch. What a joke. Every team...OMG...NCAA must have spent some money on this one...
Why though? It's not like it's some ad that is bringing in extra revenue for the NCAA. It's just an eye sore that every team's uniforms are going to be subject to
Hopefully these make a quiet disappearance during the season. Playoff teams are going to look like they're wearing an Arena Football jersey with all the patches.
It just looks too cluttered on the chest. Either the Jumpman or the B1G needs to go, and the 150 patch needs to be way smaller.
...And invisible
given the chance the ncaa can fuck up just about anything
The least the NCAA could do would be to allow each team to have the patch match their team colors, a la the B1G logo. But, this isn't as bad as it could be. Whatever.
Ugh. That’s bad. Can we say no?
I don't like it
I love everything about that jersey except for the patch.
That maize looks so brilliantly vivid against the blue. Beautiful.
