OT: Maize Winter Coat?
I feel like this topic is brought up annually (as soon as the weather changes), but Columbia needs to step up and produce a Maize-colored coat for us Michigan faithful already -- especially as it relates to Maize-outs in November. It's just unreasonable to expect people in maize tshirts or quarter zips when its 25 degrees out.
A quick google search for alternatives produces this:

Sunice makes a nice jacket, but this one strikes me as Adidas'esque in terms of color?
So, the question remains -- what are you fine people wearing for maize-outs in cold weather?

I had a perfect NorthFace shell... until my dog found a candy wrapper in a pocket and decided it was worth tearing it to pieces to find it lol
October 4th, 2022 at 10:27 AM ^
Ugh. That's a horrible story...

Dog's name wasn't Brutus, was it? 😉

Instead of buying a brand new coat, you can always buy a shirt that is a couple sizes big and wear it over your coat you already own. It isn't the most stylish of options but it gets the job done and will save you money.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:35 AM ^
This is my move, too! Don’t need a new $300 coat when you can jam a $10 XXL UM t-shirt bought on clearance over your existing coat.

If you really want to go the budget route, $3 yellow poncho from Harbor Freight

An ambitious fraternity and sorority could probably buy 10,000 them in mass at $1 each wholesale.
Then put a stand with 1,000 of them near each entry gate, sell them for $5 at each. $40,000 proceeds for their greek society in one day, I would think would be worth it.

That sound like a lot of work... until you consider paying for the linked coat in installments!
Pay in 4 interest-free installments of $58.35
October 4th, 2022 at 11:17 AM ^
My man is thinking outside of the coat!
October 4th, 2022 at 12:47 PM ^
I dunno, kind of seems off-brand to wear a t-shirt over a coat to support a team that celebrates turnovers with $3,000 sunglasses.

No M no PayPal…
October 4th, 2022 at 10:32 AM ^
nice coat. but if you don't want to spend the money you could simply wear a regular old yellow rain coat and have sweatshirt/fleece/etc. underneath and be every bit as warm and dry.
October 4th, 2022 at 2:44 PM ^
We all float down here.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:34 AM ^
umm, just buy a XXXL shit and throw it over a jacket
October 4th, 2022 at 10:42 AM ^
Idk where you're buying maize XXXL shits from but that man should probably see a physician

“You’re going to need a bigger cooler.” — overheard in Columbus.

I took one of those XXXLs last night and my wife had to open all the windows upstairs. The bathroom fan couldn't keep up.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:56 AM ^
Please don't give the Mrs. a XXXL Dutch Oven.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:47 AM ^
It's amazing the havoc a missing letter can cause, isn't it? 😁
October 4th, 2022 at 10:56 AM ^
I have an XXXL shit teed up and ready to go. Shoot me a Venmo. Hook you up.
October 4th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
The strain to keep my laughter silent hurt my sides here...
October 4th, 2022 at 11:30 AM ^
Where do you buy your big shit from??? Must be all organic, right?
October 4th, 2022 at 11:46 AM ^
Throwing shit... sounds very Columbus to me.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:34 AM ^
Here are a couple... thank you Google image search. I wouldn't pay the money for the Nordstrom jacket, but the North Face coat looks pretty close to what you want (plus a name brand). I like the idea of purchasing an oversized shirt, but not sure how well that would work.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:35 AM ^
Here you go.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:36 AM ^
LOL. The puffy coat!!
October 4th, 2022 at 11:23 AM ^
It's GoreTex
October 4th, 2022 at 10:38 AM ^
Nice choice! It only blocks the view of the person 3 seats over. 🤣
October 4th, 2022 at 10:40 AM ^
that jacket is WAY too ugly to cost that much money.
October 4th, 2022 at 11:32 AM ^
Everything made by CG costs way too much money.
October 4th, 2022 at 11:07 AM ^
Do not understand winter coats that stop right at the waist. Unless you're wearing snow pants or overalls, it seems like this would be super drafty!
October 4th, 2022 at 11:29 AM ^
Why is the model wearing the warmest possible jacket and some sort of running pants/shorts combo?
October 4th, 2022 at 11:49 AM ^
It's also a personal flotation device!
October 4th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
It's a dream jacket in an avalanche.
October 4th, 2022 at 3:30 PM ^
It's so fucking fugly that the model looks unhappy.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:35 AM ^
WD? Is that you?
October 4th, 2022 at 10:44 AM ^
Just get a Maize hockey jersey and wear some thermal gear underneath.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:46 AM ^
Yup, top layer as a hockey jersey has served me well for years
October 4th, 2022 at 10:49 AM ^
Strong move.
October 4th, 2022 at 12:06 PM ^
Wear a hockey jersey to a football game?? It's just not done!
-WD (perhaps)
October 4th, 2022 at 3:31 PM ^
anything other than toe meeting leather at noon...
...grumble, grumble, grumble.
October 4th, 2022 at 12:50 PM ^
That's my plan.
October 4th, 2022 at 10:51 AM ^
Marmot has some decent options for under $200 - FWIW, my current ski jacket is a Marmot and I've been very pleased with it.

I wear a Mammut insulated winter coat underneath a maize Michigan zip-up hoodie. Mammut makes really warm coats that aren't bulky at all and fit easily underneath a zip-up hoodie. Don't even have to size up the hoodie.
October 4th, 2022 at 11:04 AM ^
Maize body paint and lots of hand warmers.
October 4th, 2022 at 11:07 AM ^
Costco sold a nice pullover coat. Layered on top of a sweatshirt and some form of a Under Armor compression shirt works nicely without looking like the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man
October 4th, 2022 at 11:12 AM ^
I picked up a Guess jacket last year (prior to the Bucks game) - and, received some complements both in Ann Arbor - and, at the B1G CCG as I walked around Indy prior to the game.
It looks like both Guess and Tommy Hilfiger have some options that you could pick up - or order - at Macy's.

I'd wear this:
...and then sit next to Hotel Putingrad just to piss him off.
