Road jerseys: to trim or not to trim?

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

So, if Michigan were to make a change to their road jerseys, would you be in favor of going back to the old look of solid Blue numbers like some players are sporting in practice?

 

They sported this look  of solid Blue numbers until Nike introduced the Maize trim to the numbers in 1997.

Personally, this is my favorite Michigan road jersey.

Mirror the home jerseys for the road with the option of trimming the blue numbers in maize. I do like the maize trimming we've had for a while but do not like sleeve stripes or collar stripes. Sometimes the piping is atrocious (the Rich Rod era road uni piping comes to mind) and some years it's decent (last couple of years with Nike) so it can just go

Adidas tests new products on a select number of players.  They then use thier feedback in the development process.  Maybe it is a new design but I think the more likely story is that it is a new jersey technology that they are testing.

I've always LOVED our home unis, but never liked the white jerseys for away games... just too pedestrian. I'd love to see an all maize uniform (like MBB) for away games (thought the all blue unis for the penn st game were cool last year).

I have to say I like it. I also like the all blue for night games but they need to get rid of that dumb design/pattern they had on the shoulders. Two alternate unis for night games. Maize away and blue at home. I like it.

I would also like to see the Maize uniforms on the one every now and then. Could look really sharp - especially if it was a night game.

Would prefer if the "mess with" the road uniforms and leave the home ones alone.

Also, along the lines of uniforms, would like to see The Game be Blue vs Red regardless of where it is played.

considering nearly every year for the foreseeable future we will be playing either Rutgers or Maryland at night on the road, I wouldn't mind messing with the road uniforms a bunch... all maize, etc.. because who really cares about tradition at that point... let's have fun with these big media markets

I like the practice unis a lot, even though they look like ND away uniforms.. Not real sure why we mess with our uniforms so damn much.

A few years ago we had practice jerseys with the adidas stripes on the sleeves.  Those were fine too. No maize is necessary given the uniform pants and the maize on the helmets.

has had a black-and-white TV in 30 years, so the rationale for white jerseys is gone. Let teams wear their real colors. If there is a clash of colors, say, with Delaware or Cal-Berkeley, then I vote for this:
