Nike: what do you want to see from them?

Submitted by the Glove on
Now that it is official what do you hope to see out of Nike? Are there any designs from the past that you would like to see returned or are there things from the modern era you would like to see included, such as the navy panits? Please do not bring up the shade of maize. Many of us just agree to disagree on that topic. I for one am a traditionalist but would love to see the return of the Nike holograms to the shoulder pads that were worn in 95-96. Below is a photo of a Jarrett Irons jersey that I have from when I was a kid. http://imgur.com/a/ZowhH

I want to see a product that is enjoyed by the athletes. Keep the helmets Traditional (no overkill) as well as the standard blue home uni. To me the road uni is fair game to play with. If athletes want more
Alternates (which they most certainly will) then I'd be all for them as long as they keep us in the limelight.

I agree. I think this kind of change is a positive one. Keeps the traditional look while adding the flair the young kids are looking for. I personally liked the matte blue helmets. Hell I liked the grey facemasks too. As long as it's the winged helmet in maize and blue, I'll probably like it.

Just being around high school
kids and athletes all day, I can't emphasize enough how big of a deal
this is for the university and our overall appeal to national recruits.

To most of us it probably sounds self-centered, egotistical and crazy to think an apparel company matters so much but this is the generation of kids our society has shaped. It's a huge deal to those we are looking to entice.

The Fab 5 didn't wear Nike

...also note the block M on the maize shorts was often at a different height on the side of the shorts. Weird.

But Nike only provided shoes for Michigan...not jerseys. Football and MBB. We didn't get Nike apparel until March 1994 and basketball season was almost over, so I'm guessing they didn't get them until the next season, where football got Nike that fall of '94.

But that was Nike making money off a phenomenon at Michigan without paying the players...it wasn't a contract with Michigan.

They just noticed the Michigan players wore black socks and so they started making their own black socks with a white swoosh so people could be like the Fab 5.

Then again, you can't pay someone for starting a trend or a style. Otherwise I'd come out the house wearing some outlandish shit hoping something would catch on and I'd get a check.

For football:

Don't touch the home uniforms - put the small Block M back above the nameplate and get rid of "MICHIGAN" spelled out

Away uniforms should look like what was rumored in March...except outline the navy in maize so we don't have a Penn St. top and put navy numbers on the shoulder pades (just like the home) and outline those in maize. Outline the names on the back in maize as well. AND NO HIGHLIGHTER YELLOW!

For Men's Basketball:

Go with the Cazzie Russell's, with longer shorts, and put a jumpman logo on them...
