Take this with a grain of NaCl but I've now heard this from multiple people who don't know each other:
Michigan's night game jersey will be Yellow.
No word yet on if it will be like the blue and white hockey sweaters with number on chest like has been discussed on the board but IDK. Could this mean white pants?! OMGz.
people who don't know each
I don't remember fans
and alumni pulling their hair out, jumping out of windows, and lying in ruin in a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth every time the Michigan basketball teams suit up for a game in all maize kits. Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention.
The horror!

So "last year"
Probably because it first happened at least 20 years ago . . .

Very true - howeva
That's very true. However, I submit that a change to one of the most-recognized uniform in college football is a much more drastic change than any change to the Michigan basketball jerseys. But that's just me.

Agree here...
Michigan's football uniform is a cultural icon; the basketball uniform isn't. Except for the baggy shorts and black shoes worn by the Fab Five, of course. I don't think Michigan football is ready for that kind of culture shock. Besides, the lighting is a lot different on a football field because of the grass (or turf that looks like grass).
It's just one game people. I
It's just one game people. I don't think one game out of 100 plus years is a big deal.

When did the Michigan basketball team wear soccer uniforms?
A kit is the entire uniform
jersey, shorts, socks, shoes, undershirt, helmet (if required).
Just because they call an entire soccer uniform a kit doesn't mean that forever after only soccer uniforms are referred to as kits.

This is the picture that has popped up on scout as most closely resembling what they'll wear.
Note: The artist points out that this jersey should have been painted white.

I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
Interesting.
But I definitely would not dig the yellow on yellow look. Blue pants maybe?

F- Me
F- me and F- that jersey design. I'm glad I didn't get tickets to the ND game from the Alumni Association. (I lie - I'm still extremely bitter about it and might break down and pay $100s to attend.)
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
Alumni Tickets
Have you actually heard from the Alumni Association that you didn't get tickets, or have you just not heard yet? I have not heard yet about my application, and am now increasingly nervous.
Check your credit card statement
I submitted my for early morning FedEx delivery and did not get the ND package. I got confirmation from the AA that I got the Nebraska package. F-ers.

I don't mind the thought of a yellow/maize jersey, but lets have white or blue pants with it.

I wouldn't mind this jersey
I wouldn't mind this jersey if Adidas didn't produce it. Unfortunately, if they do it will be closer to the highlighter color the student tees are.
I once witnessed Crable choke a girl at Bell's....
PLEASE let this be the jersey
PLEASE let this be the jersey they are weaing. That would be awesome. I love me some all maize.

I'm obviously referring to the MGoReaction, the jersey doesn't bother me either way.

WAIT WHAT?!
OUR A-/B+ PERFORMANCES FOR THE EARLY 2000s FOLLOWED BY TWO YEARS OF CRAPTACKULAR BOWL-LESS FOOTBALL WITH AN "X-FILES WITHOUT DAVID DUCHOVNY" LEVEL 2009 HAS MADE US, IN THE EYES OF ONE WRITER, A #12 COACHING JOB? OUTRAGE!
PSU #8?
Who would ever want to follow in Paterno's footsteps? That's a succession that's almost destined to fail.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
seriously?
Paterno's feet have shrunk enough that the shoes are only metaphoric in size. Paterno has gotten to the point of almost being a poor man's Lloyd... 8-9 win seasons are consistently valid/accepted/expected
Agreed, in part
I agree with you insomuch as we are talking about win-loss performance. However, the icon that is Paterno is still large and imposing. I would not want to work in that shadow, especially because you know he is not just going away entirely (see Carr's tenure in the AD office).
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
Having Paterno around
would probably be helpful. Like having Bo around.
"After all was said and done, there was nothing left to do."
I think you mean Maize
... not yellow
And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again, Michigan
We have not actually worn
We have not actually worn maize for a long long time. People always get butthurt when it's called yellow, but that is just what we wear.
For today, goodbye. For tomorrow, good luck. And forever, Go Blue.
Call up TPryor
Can't we just wear our nomral
uni's? The best uniform in all of sports....
Also, maize, not yellow. Damn nation!

"Bend over and I'll show you." Perfect answer to nearly any question.
Yikes
Put me down for a grain of CaCl2. Larger grains for a more ridiculous rumor.
If true, sign me up for the striped olde timey jerseys we were bitching about a couple of weeks ago. And give me a beer.
Yeah, I'll take this rumor with a bolus of laughing gas,
or a tablet of cyanide. Not with a grain of salt.
Well
Good to know the pulse of the fanbase is in sync. Yellow? I saw that line and went to post and we got 4 responses already. I'll take the 15yd penalty for piling on.
MAIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(No subject)
Why not?
Why aren't you a fan of the maize jersey? I think it would look cool with the right color pants.
