Michigan has worn Maize uniforms before

It's happened before.

No, not this widely circulated mid-2000s fake artwork

 

From MVictors-

The only change in the typical blue uniforms before 1949 came in 1928.  As Michigan planned to play Navy in Baltimore, the Midshipmen refused to wear any other color than their traditional blue.  Therefore, Michigan came out in bright yellow jerseys with blue numerals.  The team was said to look like canaries, and the uniforms were put away after the 6-6 tie.

You know, the way basketball jerseys seem to go, this is going to cause problems once we get to the December-ish timeframe when Nike imposes the uniform-per-half thing or something. The preview threads alone might be impossible to load. Not judging the threads per se, but we're now in a weird place with uniform threads.

Old farts bitch about everything. I'm truly happy that the only thing some of us have in common is the love of Michigan Football.

Just because we did something once doesn't mean we should do it again just to "honor tradition."

There's probably a good reason we haven't worn this style of the uniform in nearly a century.

So what I'm hearing is Nike wanted to do a color rush game, so they found an ok excuse to convince us to wear all Maize... We're not wearing these as a throwback to 1928, we're wearing them for the money

But the traditionalist in me hates to see a Michigan Player play the first game of their career wearing something like that. It just feels wrong. Someone hold me.
