Michigan might wear Maize socks for the first time ever

Maize socks have never been worn, home or away. 

This would be the first time the team wears them. It's been white on the road the entire Harbaugh era.

The photo is from Aaron Bills at Schembechler Hall. The last time a uniform change (white pants in 2015) happened, there was no formal announcement. Just a graphic tweet like this one below.

I'm old and I saw the headline and thought it was a terrible idea. 

Given that paradigm, the pic doesn't look bad. Maybe they'll work. I was imagining maize socks with maize pants, which sounds like a terrible idea.

Home unis, so a dumb comparison. Putting the white jersey on those and it looks like shit, and I'm old enough to remember some of Bo's years. It doesn't always have to be "the way BO did it". He is not the be all end all. Why do you arbitrarily stop with Bo? Why don't you go all the way back to Yost or Oosterbaan, or whomever else? The point is that styles change over time, especially those that aren't rooted in some type of deep tradition like the home unis. Deal with it.
