New Michigan Basketball uniforms: WTF?
Update:
what. is. that.
@umichbball on twitter will be tweeting out the new uniforms to be worn for this final year with adidas.
Here's the Maize jersey just posted-

At this point I'm settling for "Yellow that's not so bright it burns your retinas". Which these uniforms at least do.
September 10th, 2015 at 5:20 PM ^
They're the same color. It's the lighting and photo quality.
Adidas has completely scrapped highlighter for all Michigan gear produced from this July and out.
September 10th, 2015 at 5:29 PM ^
or blue and black?
September 10th, 2015 at 5:25 PM ^
Very nice...but I still want to see the Cazzie Russell's become the permenant uniform in all 3 colors.
September 10th, 2015 at 5:26 PM ^
And match the stripe on the jersey on the shorts with a straight line down the side of the shorts and a "collar" around the rim of the shorts to match the top.
September 10th, 2015 at 8:16 PM ^
My comments were made BEFORE the shorts were posted.
Those are fucking AWFUL!
My first response was also to the Cazzie's not to the OP.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:02 PM ^
These look like the football team's road unis this year. I would have liked the uniformity between sports had they gone with these in BB.
(EDIT: but the Fab Five unis were absolutely badass. Can't wait to see them back.)
September 10th, 2015 at 8:55 PM ^
Dude would like like a complete badass in anything. Put him in pink plaid, Maryland football alternates. Doesn't matter.
September 10th, 2015 at 5:33 PM ^
Almost as good as the old Nike jersey. Still hate the B1G logo, it's already on the arena floor why does it need to be on every jersey?
September 10th, 2015 at 5:37 PM ^
Agree, that B1G crap is so unimaginative and lame looking. Looks Like Adidas came up with it. Just lame.

those look so good, too bad i wasnt around to watch them
September 10th, 2015 at 5:52 PM ^
It is all about the SHORTS! Fab 5 would be proud.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
Happy to see the shorts with the big M. Seems really heavy on the white, really sticks out. Same with the back collar.
Edit- shorts looked fine until the weird crap around the middle
September 10th, 2015 at 6:04 PM ^
WD--Must Feel Like Torture?
Sworn off Adidas and waiting on Nike! Then Adidas drops a nice basketball uni. What to do? Please advise your plan?

Well done adidas.
September 10th, 2015 at 10:01 PM ^
Holy Shit! I take it back. The hell is that design at the top? The new photo changed everything.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:09 PM ^
Ugh the shorts: The Horror. I mean, block M is cool but what in the hell is at the top?
September 10th, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
Looks like a bathing suit, just like last year's tournament shorts.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
CANNONBALL
September 10th, 2015 at 6:09 PM ^
Well the shorts are not quite what I thought
September 10th, 2015 at 6:20 PM ^
Spike is all business-up-top/disastrous-party-down-low.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:26 PM ^
They get run over in the parking lot by a Big Wheels sporting blue and white tires?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
September 10th, 2015 at 6:30 PM ^
My thoughts exactly. Looks like tire marks.
I guess it would've been too much like the old Fab Five Nike shorts without that crap striping...
September 10th, 2015 at 6:36 PM ^
This is such a funny picture. I'm sorry guys.
September 11th, 2015 at 2:40 AM ^
That's OK. No offense taken.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:50 PM ^
Fail.
September 10th, 2015 at 7:40 PM ^
They really don't look all that thrilled, do they ?
I think the jerseys are okay, but man, the shorts.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:10 PM ^
I like the shorts... they just don't match the jerseys at allll
September 10th, 2015 at 6:11 PM ^
Those are awful. I don't even know which are worse, those or last year's tournament shorts??
September 10th, 2015 at 6:11 PM ^
This is pathetic. A final FU from Adidas
September 10th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
Hackett approved?
Or can we still blame Brandon for this?

For fucks sake, Adidas.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
Dafuq are those stripes on the shorts? It looks like a pedestrian crosswalks. Don't they know everyone jaywalks on campus?

Wow addidas finally got it right only took the last year of the contract
September 10th, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
The Fab 5 uniforms are back! Yeah! HELL YEAH!
I rooted hard for those teams. I'd never been anywhere near Michigan, and it would be another twenty years before I'd have the chance to see games at Crisler as a proud student. I just loved the way they rolled. They were what hip hop was all about then. And growing up in New York--in the Bronx--in the 70s and 80s, yeah, we did a lot of trash talking. Nothing was off-limits. And they were the death knell for those stupid little short-shorts they had guys running around in. We weren't about that either where I was.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:20 PM ^
Wait!...[chokes on own vomit]...WHAT IS WITH THE CROSSWALK STRIPES!!!
Fuck YOU, adidas!
September 11th, 2015 at 2:42 AM ^
Their final revenge.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
Holy fucking awful. Sigh.
I'll bet a lot of Adidas teams look similarly stupid.

2x, Walter. And then some.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
I don't understand what is going on with the shorts.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
Oh good lord. They had it so right until the jersey got tucked in.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:23 PM ^
They so trolled us. They posted the photo of Spike walking first before they showed what was underneath that jersey.
No wonder they didn't show the shorts in the first pic as people would've been screaming.
I'm curious to see what the home and road uniforms look like. Hopefully nothing like these. Ugh.
Fuck off adidas.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:30 PM ^
If you pay close attention you can see the shorts behind the jersey in the 2nd pic as well as noticing something on spikes shorts. I saw it first before the big unveil and thought they were odd
September 10th, 2015 at 6:24 PM ^
DB has many sins, but we can't blame this latest disaster on him. This is all on adidas. This, THIS is why so many of us were screaming for a return to Nike.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:25 PM ^
Adidas must have watched the first episode of Late Show with Colbert. As Colbert told Jebel Bush, you have to say something that gets everyone cheering and pause before you say something they hate.
September 10th, 2015 at 6:26 PM ^
Jeb, auto correct. Jeb.
