ORRRR.... you can avoid serious pain and NOT look at ND's from last night.
Even Golic on Mike&Mike was panning them this morning, and he's the biggest ND homer of them all -- with Digger sitting next to him, even.

Well
Well
I actually don't think they're awful. The whole camo thing is dumb to begin with, but they could be a lot worse. See Baylor's from last night....
If the players like them, then whatever.
Your father wouldn't want to hear this, Sonny. This is business, not personal.

I feel like a player would

I feel like a player would get in trouble if they said they hate them. Then ADIDAS would probably flip out on Dave Brandon and such.

How did Michigan sports go
How did Michigan sports go
How did Michigan sports go from having the coolest uniforms/gear on the planet to our fans regularly having to say, as compliments, "Well, I've seen worse", "It's not terrible", "The blue hides the camo design well" or "If the sun's not out, they actually are pretty good"?
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, is just progress.
March 15th, 2013 at 3:21 PM |
Just Say No
Just Say No
I don't understand why we can't just tell Adidas to shove it when they present their latest fugly uniform design. Sure, they contribute millions of dollars worth of stuff to the athletic department. Guess what? If we tell them that we're not wearing zubaz and that they're idiots for asking us, they're not going to suddenly refuse to do another deal with Michigan.
Last I checked, apparel companies were still paying wads of money to work with Alabama, USC, Penn State, Texas, and all the other tradition-rich schools who don't use any shoe company clown suits. If Adidas doesn't want to do a deal based on keeping the uniforms traditional, I'm sure Nike or Under Armour would be glad to do so. Hell, put it in the contract.
They are the supplier, and we are the customer. We don't need to go out of our way to please them. End of story.

Meh

The camo doesn't really stick out like with Notre Dame's or Ciny's, so at least it isn't obnoxious. Pretty subtle actually. Wish there wasn't camo, but it's not as bad as it could have been.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!

How about
How about
MSU and OSU basketball uniforms from this season that have their logo in the middle of the front of the jersey and say Spartans or Buckeyes as the name plate on everyone's jersey. And for football, the MSU and OSU pro combat unis that they always seem to wear against us. So, since the Duck is "cool", you want a cartoony Wolverine Mascot walking the sidelines?
March 15th, 2013 at 2:02 PM |
I actually love the unis you speak of...
I actually love the unis you speak of...
Adidas have done nothing but disappoint me with these hideous football/basketball unis. Also I never asked for a mascot but We all know Oregon has the best unis in football and is a huge recruiting pitch because kids want to look cool. These camo unis are right up there with the worse series of uniforms in the history of sports.
I will be the first to admit that Im a cornball, but I wish the school could work out a deal with Marvel (i think thats the copy rights owner) and get X-Men Wolverine on the sideline. Thats if we absolutely had to have a mascot...

Sorry bro, but he killed you with that response.
We all hate these recent uniforms, but it has nothing to do with Adidas vs. Nike or Under Armour for that matter, they've all made hideous uniforms as of late.

Alright
Alright
The players selected it, isn't their opinion of what they want to wear the one that really matters? Unless they were coerced into it. But hey, the numbers and names are readable, no sleeves, that's a step forward right?
March 15th, 2013 at 11:49 AM |
Well
Well
The feed says the players "selected the tank top." I wouldn't be so sure that they picked the camo so much as the higher-ups said "choose sleeves or no sleeves"
Brady...Hoooooooke!
March 15th, 2013 at 11:49 AM |
I never understood this
I never understood this
I never understood this logic. No--their opinion is not the only one that matters. Also, I'm sure they have nothing to do with these decisions anyway and saying they chose them is just some PR move to deflect blame from the guy who put pasta in a breadbowl.
March 15th, 2013 at 12:13 PM |
I never said its the only
I never said its the only
I never said its the only opinion that matters, but their opinion means more than yours or mine, they should wear what they want (within reason of course). Now, if their only choice was something like "Sleeves or no sleeves?" then throw my point out the window and fire whoever deals with uniforms.
March 15th, 2013 at 12:22 PM |
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
With respect to the stewardship of the University's image & reputation there is simply no way that an 18-22 years old opinion matters more than that of the administration and collective alumni body.
These little shits come to the U to learn taste & culture, not to teach it. Frankly, it's shameful that the adults in charge are letting this carry on.

Just Because
Just Because
the players chose them does not mean anything. I can almost gaurantee the players were given a few options to choose from and out of the options they selected these. This way, adidas can say that the players "chose" them and sound like the players like them. Maybe they just chose the lesser of all of the evils. Maybe the players do like these, but I just highly doubt it as they really are just weird. Camo? I mean I can see if a team has some sort of significance to camo, but to give a BUNCH of team camo uniforms.. what gives?? It's not even cool its just awkward. I am all for alternate uniforms and the players making the decision but I just find it hard to beleive that the players 100% want these. It's not really a big deal though it's just one game (hopefully) so who really cares that much but I mean still.
March 15th, 2013 at 11:56 AM |
They BARELY look different

They BARELY look different than the ones we usually wear. The camo won't be noticeable on TV, and if the players want to wear them, why not? At least they don't have sleeves.

That's the just the problem.
That's the just the problem.
We're talking about uniforms. Fashion shouldn't have anything to do with it. Uniforms, id est, wearing the same thing all the time are, practically by definition, the anti-fashion.
The fact that we even need to have these discussions is what is so infuriating. They taken a simple non-issue, messed with it repeatedly, upset a lot of people and generally left all of us looking like clowns.

Even the lightest shade of blue there wouldn't look too out of place as the primary color on a Michigan uniform.

What infuriates me the most
What infuriates me the most
What infuriates me the most is how we just let Adidas tell us what to wear. Indiana told them to "fuck off" when they showed them these uniforms. Why can't we do that?
And I don't care if the players chose these. Don't even give them the option.
March 15th, 2013 at 12:19 PM |
Classic

Hey kids who actually wear the Uni's you don't get a say because some old codgers who are alumni don't like them, so we will only be wearing plain basic jerseys because the codgers like it that way. Classic
No ! Not us ! Screw you Adidas !
Damn I hate those camouflage uniforms !
But hey at least we don't have sleeves on them
