Outback Bowl UNI'S!!!!

Please excuse me.  I'm going to go vomit.

I just don't get the design inspiration.  Is it supposed to harken to something in Michigan's football tradition, or is it just a random look that somebody thought was cool and contemporary?

Also, I wonder what it would look like if the wings/stripes were also matte. At least they didn't suffer a glitter explosion like:

or

And I'm glad they're not anything like:

As in "Wow, those are effing ugly!"

I hate the fashion show that sports has become.

Adidas would fuck up a one car funeral.

Not a fan of those uniforms at all, but I've always despised our move from maize to electric yellow.  I'm surprised more traditionalists don't complain about the very fundamental problem of Michigan no longer wearing its true colors anymore...new uniform design or not.

Looks cool to me. It's too bad that Brandon stomped puppies and put them through a blender, then made a polyester-blend fabric out of the blended puppies in order to make these uniforms. That evil bastard. Next thing you know he's going to outlaw football and outsource the team to China...

I am not amused... at what point do they get an effing clue. STOP MESSING WITH THE MOST ICONIC UNIFORMS IN FOOTBALL!!!!

Fucking hell.

Here is a video of Kovacs showing the Uni for the bowl.

Cool

Not for sure what to think of the jersey, yet. Do love the Helmet I've always wanted us to try the matte blue. Everyone just needs to embrace it, because it's going to happen

I love this new uniform.  Admit it, Michigan's current road uniform is too boring.  UM's school colors are maize and blue, not maize and white.  The current road uniforms have too much white, and lack enough blue.  This Outback uniform has the correct amount of blue, yellow and white.  I will buy this jersey, which is of course why Dave Brandon had these made in the first place  That's ok. I like it, so I am gonna buy it.

What I wish I could really buy is a short-sleeve Michigan t-shirt that has a different color on the sleeves than on the main body of the t-shirt.  Those are impossible to find!

Awful, kill it all, darkness, sadness, pain, synergy...

I'll like these a lot more if we beat South Carolina in them.

It's the cost of progress in the modern college athletics era, gentlemen.

More UNIFORMZ! = more $$ and more $$ = more state-of-the-art facilities needed to compete with other programs

I absolutely love the matte helmet...wanted this for a long time...

I like the jersey too...

Long hair don't care!

So sick of this crap.  I'm not an old dude, so it looks like I'm gonna have to be sick of this crap for a long time.  Or at least until DB GETS THE HELL OFF MY LAWN.

I can hear it now.... watching the game with my 5 year old son.... "Where's Michigan, Dad?"

I could care less what jersey they wear as long as they win Michigan will look great in anything. It doesnt matter what you look like only the final score is important.

They would look much better with blue numbers.

I kinda like the helmets.

tired of watching the clown show that college football fashion has become.

You are Michigan fer'godsakes, quit trying to look like some school who thinks they're Michigan.

Hate 'em.



Maize numbers are a horrible idea. So is a blue yoke. So is any change whatsoever to the helmet. And I kinda liked the Bama unis.



Get off my lawn.

just puked. No im not hung over

I'm going to start with saying I feel like I have used up a huge chunk of my outrage, and I just can't afford to get all bent out of shape about the jersey thing anymore. I agree with the whole "This is Michigan" sentiment and all that, but I feel like I am trying to punch through a steel wall when I get all upset, so I guess I am going to try to critique these from an "oh, well" stand point.

The numbers are too big and gaudy. These would actually look pretty slick if the numbers were just a flat blue or maize that matched the shoulders and slightly smaller. Otherwise, I don't hate it. It's not as tacky as the Alabama maize shoulders. If they're going to do these, they could make them look sleeker and not so gaudy, but I guess that's the opposite of what they are trying to achieve.

Regarding the helmet, I actually think the flat looks pretty cool. I don't know if changing the paint/finish really constitutes messing with tradition, but that's debatable. My only concern is that it's a step toward doing something outrageous (i.e. ND or MSU) like some posters demonstrated above.
