Sideline Staff for UM/ND to Wear Stars and Stripes

Per MVictors, Adidas will be showcasing a "Stars and Stripes" edition of sideline gear via UM this weekend. 

Edit: This post originally discussed a PR individual's gaffe in stating "jersey" rather than "sideline gear." Do not panic. Jerseys will remain the same. The matrix is not real. You took the blue pill. Nice day we're having, eh?

I know that ND coaches are wearing ND hats that have the american flag in the "ND" in honor of 9/11. I wonder if that's what is happening here.

Now the Stars & Stripes Block M hats I saw at the non-MGoBlog sponsoring Michigan Gear Retailer make sense.

Didn't like them much either.  Will try to find pic.

I'd be happy with that,

and it would be cool if Nike, Adidas, and UA teams all wore the same patch. However, given they don't make money from patches, this is unlikely.

the white jersey and yellow stripes will remain and the numbers on front and back will be red and white striped

not horrible and way more understandable/respectable than Nike Combat editions

Mden

They have some Michigan hats at the Mden with the block M being done in the Stars n Stripes. I think they have a shirt also that says Michigan in SnS. They really didn't look bad and I almost bought one. They could be abysmall on the football uniform though so I guess we'll see. maybe it will just be on the sidelines in the players hats and all unis will have a larger flag on them or some other commemorative design/logo. If they mess with either teams color schemes it could look wack.

No offense

But I will take an official press release from a participating school over an e-mail from a staffer at a PR firm who, unlike us, probably doesn't know the difference between a coaches shirt and a jersey.

That said, until we see a release from U of M we are all merely guessing.

I'm going to concur with my Ash avatared friend here.  It would be so easy for a PR person to hear Michigan was doing something with adidas apparel this weekend and presume that it was the jersey.  I really have a very hard time believing that the Michigan athletic department would allow anything too major.  A simple flag patch on the jersey, or a small flag motif, especially on 9/11 I could see.

It's David Brandon, trust, but verify.

Yeah, I'm against this.  Aside from minor design changes to uniforms over the decade, there is no need to mess with uniforms, and the helmet should never be touched.  I understand it's 9/11, but there are other ways of showing off patriotism withouth gimmicky alterations to our uniforms and helmets.

ND is participating alongside us.  So it could be a, um, colorful day out there. 

If we're talking about a uniform patch, I'm fine with that.  Patriotic sideline apparel?  Sure, no problem.  But if we're actually wearing red, white and blue uniforms . . . well, I guess 9/11 is a better reason than some others, but that's too much IMO.

What wrong with remembering 9/11 with a special jersey?  So what if it looks bad?  One game with alterations to the jerseys for a cause like this is probably more important than whether we like how they look or not.

There's many ways:  coaches wearing hats, patches on jerseys, maybe a small sticker on the helmet, pregame flyover, design on the field, etc.  Not knocking 9/11 but there are other ways.

But would any of those "many

But would any of those "many other ways" have us talking about it like we are now.  The concept, along with any other propaganda, is to draw attention to the cause.  Even the mere suggestion of altering the uniform has obviously gained much more attention than some patch.  I'm all for whatever we decide to do, because it's making each one of us remember what that day is about.  I'm privileged to be able to sit on my couch, drink a beer, and watch some football on Saturday, and a little alteration of the uniform just might remind us all to be grateful.

this makes me LOL

The PR firm said the following (HT: MVictors)

 

One of our clients is adidas, and this weekend, in honor of 9/11, several schools are wearing special “Stars and Stripes” jerseys. Michigan is one of those schools, and it’s our job to make sure the media knows about it.

And they let people know on the Thursday before the game. Incredible job to get people in the know and talking about it as quickly as possible.

ummm

i'd rather my school wear a form of red white and blue on 9/11 than participate in a money-grab that uses cool designs and then lies about why they chose colors, etc. (ex: black is for the Native American tribes in Florida... or is it for the coal miners who died... or is it for....)

Those Maize Stripes were supposed to be for one day too

Then they became standard, then they exploded into a monstrosity they are now, so that the away jersey doesn't even mean anything.

Changing from one non-classic look to another non-classic look is not a big deal to me at all. Especially when it is in rememberance of September 11

I do hope Adidas doesn't take this as a license to do something goofy for every away game with our uniforms

Uglification of CFB

Have you seen what Nike is doing? I don't love "electric maize" but it's better than a wolverine fur pattern on our helmets.

I must have NO sense of style

because the Nike ProCombat uniforms are actually really ugly to me.  At least Adidas has moved into the 'Modern' without making college football look like a Paris fashion show, ala Nike.  

I just recently started buying more Adidas gear mostly because of Michigan, so what do I know?

(I REALLY liked the '97 Michigan uniforms, though.)

I thought their debut at the Alamo Bowl was supposed to be the end of them. Either way I still hate them

When had the away jersey ever

When had the away jersey ever meant anything?  The last Nike jerseys had only been around for a few years and had meaningless maize stripes as well, and that uniform was replacing another design introduced by Nike that had been around for less than a decade.

And really, you are worried about Adidas doing something goofy for every away game, but want to switch to Nike?

Good Points

Don't really want to switch to Nike with that Pro Combat silliness. And point taken about the transience of the away jerseys - but I do really hate the maize striping on them.

I first saw the headline and immediately didn't like it, but there have been some good thinking on this thread. So I am cool with whatever.  No big deal if they change things up in light of the date.

As long as it doesn't take away from the Michigan brand more so then Adidas already does then I am fine with it.  No problem what so ever to honor those who were a victim or a hero on 9/11.

It's not jerseys,

just hats and Ts. All Adidas is selling through Mden are hats and T's (although they may throw in a Polo or 2, who knows).

Red on a Michigan game jersey?  Far too close to scarlet for my taste.

For each game after 9/11,

For each game after 9/11, Michigan wore an American flag patch on the upper left part of their jerseys. It was a subtle, but fitting tribute. I don't see why the 9th anniversary of that event requires a special jersey.

I'm a vet, and I'm glad this isn't happening.  Even if it wouldn't be an affront to human decency, wearing special clothes is the kind of BS token gesture that I cannot stand. 

Instead, do something meaningful, like donating all the money used to design, and the projected profits from, the new clothes and jerseys to the Wounded Warrior project.
