Enough with the uniformz thread, WD. Quit drinking and go to bed.
Wait.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:30 PM ^
I'm a big fan of this. I don't see why this shouldn't be the normal long as the colors are contrasting.
I think the only reason why one team has to wear white is because of television (black and white sets). That is no longer an issue
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:43 PM ^
....UM v OSU should consider color-on-color games with their standard uniforms
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
That doesn't sound correct, but I don't know enough to refute it.
I'd assume the "one team wear white" goes back further in history than television.
Edit- well I'll be damned. TV is exactly why one team wears white. Neg away.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
Crazy how much faster these two teams look than our sluggish team.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
...year after year. What a great place to see a game.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:39 PM ^
That's about it for Leon McQuaid tonight.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:48 PM ^
IMO those are the 2 best uniforms/color schemes in the college game next to our home unis. Have thought so for a long time.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
I would put oregons color scheme up there... Emphasis on scheme ... Not all their uniforms just some of them...
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Silver?
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
Nike adds silver and gray to all their sponsored schools. Shit UCLA had silver and gray in one of their editions of UNIFORMZ the other week.
Oregon's colors as in Thunder Green and Lightning Yellow (per their site)
I would rank it like this:
1 Michigan
2 USC
3 Oregon
4 UCLA
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:36 PM ^
I like the gators colours too.
November 23rd, 2014 at 12:01 AM ^
Like their old Joey Herrington-era unis? Ick.
November 23rd, 2014 at 5:23 AM ^
Like Dennis Dixon era.
November 23rd, 2014 at 6:01 AM ^
you could probably add pink to the list also
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
LOVE when both teams can wear home/home jerseys.
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
I really don't understand why M and OSU don't do this. I have been saying this for years.
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
OT: I just saw LSA's tweet about someone saying "die Brady" on this site. Anyone see which asshole said that? That is really shitty to say. Yeah, we're all pissed about the way this regime has turned out and want Michigan to win more than any team we watch, but saying "die Brady" is way over-the-top.
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:41 PM ^
There is a reason that both wear their home uni's...
Both schools are home in metro Los Angeles....Not so much Ann Arbor and Columbus.
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:50 PM ^
Yeah, it works for them because they both really are basically at home when they play. It's their thing, and it's cool. But it's not our thing.
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:34 PM ^
I just saw a game between BGSU and either Toledo or Kent and both teams had their home uniforms on.
November 23rd, 2014 at 8:01 AM ^
we're alternate grays
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
Home and home unis is how Michigan - Ohio State used to do it.
The newspaper report of the dedication game of Michigan Stadiumn against Ohio State in 1927 talks about the scarlet jerseys of Ohio State and the blue of Michigan.
It was only when black and white TV forced the change to road whites because it could not pick up the difference in colors that teams went away from home and home unis.
Bring it back. In this day of fake throwbacks, it's an authentic throwback.
November 23rd, 2014 at 12:03 AM ^
Interesting, but I still like the contrast, though I do love our home jerseys. I like the way USC and UCLA do it because of what the posters above said. Anyway, many games would still need alternate jerseys. Nebraska - Indiana both wearing home jerseys would be a disaster.
EDIT: Actually, now that I've thought about it, seeing UM and OSU in home jerseys sounds pretty damn cool.
November 23rd, 2014 at 3:22 AM ^
is why ALL teams had/have to wear away whites when only three or four games/week were even televised from the 1950s to the Oklahoma suit in ca. 1984?
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
I think fall colors are most appropriate after Labor Day. WTF the friggin program is on fire and we're talking color schemes?
November 23rd, 2014 at 12:02 AM ^
Yes, this blog really needs more people saying Hoke needs to go. How dare we talk about college football.
EDIT: Guy I replied to got banned apparently?
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
I haven't heard any RAWK during the UCLA-USC game.
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:38 PM ^
Is there any reason why a UCLA type offense wouldn't have been a good fit for DG and Michigan?
Oh waaait....we had that guy, but now he's in Arizona leading a team that's competing for a conference championship.
November 23rd, 2014 at 12:05 AM ^
??? I haven't watched UCLA that closely, and I saw that Arizona has been passing more, but they don't remind me of a Denard or Pat White team at all.
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:39 PM ^
With the black and white TV it definitely helped to have white and dark uniforms. I remember watching a basketball game on black and white TV where it was very diffcult to tell the difference between the color was a cream type color (it may have been Purdue). With color TV you can definitely do the OSU game with home and home unis. The Illini orange and Badger red does not work on color TVs - they tired that once and it was a disaster.
