New Uniform Hot Takes

that I really liked them

I loved them and everyone I watched the game with loved them too. I loved actually seeing us in Maize & Blue.

they looked great, i just wish they busted them out every once and a while instead of it being all season long.  Also, helmet stickers next week?

They looked great.  That being said I'm looking forward to the return of Nike uniforms.

I like the stripes on the pants.  But then again I also like the maize pants.  Maybe I'm easy to please!

I prefer maize pants, but I don't hate these unis. They just don't look like Michigan to me.

I was skeptical about the all-white road unis, even if they are throwbacks, but they looked pretty good to me last night. Still prefer the maize pants, but this look worked for me and I don't mind it being part of the rotation.

Dump the white pants and go back to the maize

I thought they would make us play better than they did. Not sure where to go from here. At least they looked sharply dressed.

I loved them. They had a nice classic look to them. I was skeptical at first, but when I saw them live, it looked great. 

I was skeptical as well but I really loved them. They looked fresh and felt like a restart for the new era. Also, I know we love the maize color conversation, but I thought the maize on the helmet was definitley darker than before. 

Loved 'em. Classic and clean. No piping. Matching maize.

I like the all white, but I'd prefer a little brighter "maize", not the highlighter yellow, but still brighter.

honors Coach Harbaugh's nostsalgia for the teams he remembers from his youth while his dad was coaching, etc. If he's doing this as a one-time "my inaugural season" special then I'm 100% all for it. 

I believe in an interview he said it could be a 1-2 year thing. I'm hoping it's not, and not a long-term thing either. 

I'm sure Michael Jordan will talk some sense into him. 

And I thought they did a good job of matching up the maize on the helmets and the stripes on the uniforms.  I liked the white pants far more than I thought I would, and the maize stripe on the jersey stood out more than I expected.

That being said I feel like we have now overcompensated for highlighter "maize" and have adopted Iowa gold.  I hate the highligher yellow, but I'm not a big fan of this new Iowa color we have on our helmets this year either.   Seems like there needs to be middle ground somewhere. 

It looked a bit better to me once the lights came on, but under sunlight it looked too stucco-orangish compared to anything Michigan has worn in the past 30 years.  Maybe this was the color we wore back in the 70's when they were supposedly painting our helmets with the Green Bay Packer's gold color. 

Agreed.  The all white brings out the helmet more.

I also like the new Maize hue.

Also noticed - all black shoes!

Well done for once Adidas.

 

Say that since I'm anti-adidas I can't agree with the well done comments there, good job Jim and Jim.

The helmets popped. The black shoes were awesome, so glad to not see the yellow shoes out there, I hated those.

 

Numbers looked good on the jerseys with the all  blue actually, but would still be a big fan of a maize outline on those. 

 

I'm hopeful that in future years they will revive some road uni's of the past. Maybe transition to the Harbaugh uni's of past, same top with maize pants, and then go to the Tom Brady's for a while and never revisit the Tate Forcier aways.

 

 

I hate them as an every road game uniform. They would have been alright for just a one-time affair. It doesn't look like Michigan out there.

I think this is the first time the majority of the board has responded positively to uniformz.

I wasn't a fan of them, I think it was too much white for my taste but I'm not going to complain too much because HARBAUGH

I'm not gonna get worked up over what our kit looks like.

I dislike the darker maize a lot

I like the way the helmets pop against the all white jerseys.

I really thought they looked good, especially the helmets.

Thumbs up!

and I like them now.

An additional point in their favor is that the piping echos the Cazzie-era basketball kit as well.

LOVED them!!

Go figure Adidas does their best work by far in their lame duck year.

Best road unis I've seen us wear in a long long time.

My only quibble is I do prefer michigan spelled out, to the block m, on the helmet bumper.

I was not a fan when they were first announced, but after seeing them last night I really liked them.... Clean and old school

I liked them and I also like the move from yellow to maize.

My verdict: Love--LOVE--the jerseys and I hope Nike sticks with something similar for our roadies. Blue numbers, no maize outline. Sharp and perfect. The sleeve stripe pattern is good, too.

Now the pants...in and of themselves, they're as great looking as the jersey. And I do like the all-white look...but, I don't like it nearly as much I do maize pants, and I can't help but think how good these new jerseys would look paired with pants in the new (old) darker shade of maize.

I'm glad we indulged Harbs' nostalgia for one season, but I hope to see white jersey/maize pants again next year.

I thought they were awesome. The strip on the pants and the blue numbers looked sharp with the winged helmet on top. I was skeptical when it was announced they'd wear them, but they pull it off.

I liked them enough that I would be totally fine if they remained our road unis for years to come.
