The person who took them
is Eric Bronson (per the photo credit on the gallery). I don't know him, but as a fellow photographer, I just wanted to make sure his name is associated with his excellent work.

Winged Helmets
Winged Helmets
Will they be wearing block-M helmets at the game? I love how the winged headgear has become almost a standard for all sports at Michigan. Does the hockey team usually practice in something else, and just tape the wings on for games? Or are they trying to wear different head gear for this?

Great pictures. Is the team going to touch the banner (It might be a tad hard to jump in the skates though) after coming out of the tunnel ? It seems only appropriate.

That the team is wearing Reebok branded practice jerseys yet wear the Adidas branded game jerseys. (Yes, I know Reebok is owned by Adidas.)
I was always perpelxed as to why the hockey team would wear Adidas branded game jerseys and the like when Adidas has no presence in hockey, while Reebok is a big player.

Red looks great in the maize n blue knit cap, but i hope he goes old school for the game. No headgear or a fedora or something. He is a world class Bad A$$ and he should be up there giving the elements the middle finger. Love it. Can't wait.

Nice shots from practice. The shot of Red is classic. He always looks like he wants to kick somebody's ass when he has his game-face on.

I introduced myself to Red one night at Banfield's a bunch of years ago. I've never encountered such a penetrating, blue-eyed stare in my entire life. I felt as though he immediately looked into the depths of my soul, and found it wanting. I would not want to cross the guy.

My tickets are at will call. Where do I need to go to get them? I've been to so many games there and have never had to pick them up from will call before. I'll be lost for the first time in years.

When Michigan signed the
When Michigan signed the
When Michigan signed the contract with Adidas, everything Nike(Bauer) at the time was removed. Everything that shows a "logo" or Brand, typically Helmets, Pants, and Gloves have to be an Adidas product, which is CCM or Reebok. Michigan has a unique situation with their winged helmets, so they can wear ANY helmet they want provided the school will purchase them. I'm pretty sure they all use a combination of CCM Vector helmets and Bauer 4500 helmets.
As for the Adidas Game jersey, it's because Adidas wants THEIR name on the final product that's out on display, the game jerseys. Everything practice jersey-wise is going to be an RBK jersey. As far as I know, there is no such thing as an Adidas hockey practice jersey. Gameday jerseys will be Adidas.

I have to wonder: are they going to put up flags for CCHA schools like they put up flags for Big Ten schools during football games? Because that would be a nice touch.
