Then simply don't buy them.

Then simply don't buy them. Complaining about them is doing nothing. They're obviously doing well in sales and the players like them enough for them to keep doing them.
Kids get excited about these things. I overheard a couple recruits at the Spring Game that Michigan's gloves they wore last year were "cold". I assume that's a good thing.

Failure to see the irony of saying, in the same breath, "it's only for the bowl game," and "I'll add this to my ever-growing connection," is astonishing. The reason we have these jerseys is not because it matters what the players think about them, but because we have fans who are willing to piss hell of ducats up the wall on every gimmick Brandon throws at them and pretend that "it's only this once."

I actually like the helmet. But the jersey is God-awful. Horrible. Why can't they just wear the regular jersey? People pay a sh-tload of money to travel to these bowl games. They want to see Michigan as Michigan, not as a side-show circus act. I'll never understand the need to create new designs, especially since every single one of them has been ugly thus far.

Honestly, I don't mind them messing with the white uniforms. The white uniforms have gone through many different forms throughout the years; there's not really a unified 'tradition' with the white unis. It's the home blues which have been unchanged for so long. Those are the ones that I have a problem with changing.
December 18th, 2012 at 1:32 PM |
You make a good point.

You make a good point. Better to mess with the white than the blue. That said, why can't the special designs be more special and less "special"? People on that stupid show Project Runway (my wife made me watch) could design something better than this piece of garbage. And how much did the AD pay to have these garbage jerseys made?

Easy there, Herm. Michigan has been wearing bowl patches every year long before Dave Brandon. Whether it was the Capital One Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl etc.
For the 2003 Outback Bowl, the actual Outback logo was on the sleeves. Not a patch. It was part of the jerseys.

Of course not, the Rose Bowl
Of course not, the Rose Bowl
Of course not, the Rose Bowl stands for tradition, honor, and classic games from almost a century of continuous play. The "Outback" Bowl is a third-rate, made-up bowl to promote shoddy faux-Australian cuisine to middle-income Midwestern American families so that they can gorge themselves on a helping of meat, potatoes, and pure fat that could sustain a small African village for a week.

I think I'll message the Outback Bowl commissioner that's pulling in multiples of six figures to ask this question: "Why does the Outback Bowl exist?".

I understand such disdain
I understand such disdain
I understand such disdain reserved for the "Heart of Dallas Bowl" or the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl, but the Outback Bowl is generally a pretty good one matching quality opponents most years. If you're suggesting it shouldn't exist, then you're the only one that wants to go back to the 1971 and earlier system where only the Big Ten champion goes bowling.

If I were Adidass, I would have left the text off and be confident people would recognize the logo. It is similar to having to use a /s tag - if you have to use it, you're probably doing something wrong.
Every day I am thankful for Herm. He makes me feel a lot younger.
