My God...

the stripes are all about Adidas, right?
I have admired their stuff in the past, even as others preferred Nike. But my objection here is not the stripes but the nasty logo (smaller please) and retro numerals. From a design standpoint, clean tends to be good, busy bad, especially when you're viewing something at a distance.
But it's true--Denard lights that thing up, in a way that makes you forget the jersey.

Stripes for piping... good tradeoff, imo. I like the clean look, but honestly think they might be a bit too bland without something on the shoulders. A couple of stripes is fine instead of numbers or a block M, imo.

FYI I went to M Den tonight
FYI I went to M Den tonight and they will not be exactly the same as the ones they have posted. As you see in the picture of the jersey Denard is holding, there are no holes in the number. This is the same as the one on the site for both M Den and Moe's. However, the actual jerseys they will be shipping will NOT be solid numbers. They will be the cheaper replica ones that have those small holes through the jersey as well as the numbers. It's not as big of a deal on the blue ones but the white ones make it look really cheap in my opinion. Just a heads up to those looking to buy them. I would have been very disappointed had I not checked it out first.

No to the number font. The numbers will look like they were drawn on with a pencil from a distance. Its sad that we all have to try to find something we like or say, "it could be worse".Who designs them?

Does anyone know why some QBs
Does anyone know why some QBs in the NFL (ex. Brady and Manning) wear the old style loose sleeves while most college level QBs and newly drafted QBs wear the elastic sleeves?
Has anyone else noticed that or am I just insane?

both, very likely.

December 16th, 2011 at 10:30 AM

consistancy
If they have been wearing loose sleeves their entire career, there is little incentive to switch to something that could interfere with their throwing motion (even the smallest amount).
Newer players have been using the elastic their entire career, and are just fine with them.
You would never want to switch anything up, even a minor change can get a qb into overthinking their throwing motion and make a mistake.

I like them - much better than the ones with that ugly yellow stripe. The only thing is that I'd switch around the M (and make it smaller) and the Adidas logo.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:34 PM
#48
As long as the adidas logo stays small too
I'm with you. The jerseys themselves don't look so bad - I just hope they last more than just the bowl game. Isn't that how the maize piping started, come to think of it? It was first for "just the Alamo Bowl" and then became the regular white jersey and then exploded at the start of...'08 or '09 was it?
If these jerseys had a three year run they'd be a significant improvement over what came before them.

I still prefer the classic late 90s, early 2000s away jerseys with the block M on the shoulders. Classic. Wish we still had Nike, although I would not like to see the pro combats on Michigan players

Michigan Pro Combats
They would probably give us Bronze wings on the helmet and a more royal blue, or maybe even darker.
LOL at Sparty for having bronze as one of their new colors. MSU: Green/White/Bronze

Detail
The details make the difference.
I agree with you. It should be common sense,on both points.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:59 PM
#55
the color mismatch
Probably has to do with the helmet numbers being a decal and the wings are painted. I disagree with you about the helmet number font though, I don't think it would look good on the jerseys. Too much like an NFL font. I'd like to see the bowl jerseys with the regular block number font.

No stripes, no piping, why is
No stripes, no piping, why is this so difficult? The road jersey needs to be changed to Hanes undershirts with personalized marker on them. This isn't necessarily a DB thing because our road jerseys have changed a lot over the years. I just wish they would stay with the basics.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:18 PM
#59
Agreed
White jerseys with blue numbers and nothing more, keep it simple.
But Denard seems pleased, so I think we're OK.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:02 PM
#60
My two cents
I like simple and clean so here is my suggestion. Solid white jersey, with maize numbers and a blue block M on the right side of the chest. Maybe blue lettering for names on the back or no names at all.
No stripes, no piping, no outlined numbers, nothing on the shoulders or sleeves.
I figure our home jerseys are simple and clean so why not our road jerseys?
Can anyone else picture it?

The maize should be bold enough for numbers.
I do recommend blue lettering for the names on the back to make it easier to read.

That sounds good to me as someone who likes basic or classic jerseys. Except I don't really mind the outlined numbers, I think that's ok. Good logic on the comparison between home and away jerseys.

Something unrelated... anyone have a good suggestion for a flag for the house??? I bought the one from the link below, but it is terrible. It came to the house, and the "M" is not Michigan maize. It's more gold, like Missouri's color on the Navy--brutal in person.
We're in Houston, so I can't really see any in person. I was hoping for some MGo help. I'm trying to get one for our new house to fly on gameday!

I hope so - but they're described as "alternates"
I think most of the ANGAR (myself included) doesn't come from this jersey, but more from the lack of a consistent away uniform this year. And at no point was that worse than @Sparty with the bumblebees.
This uniform is classy, but I hope it gets promoted from "alternate" to "away" and is so successful that it obliterates all other white jerseys we've seen like a wolverine obliterates its prey.

Looks like Techfit which
Looks like Techfit which means the entire O and D lines will switch back to the 2010 jerseys with the piping on them at halftime.
Also, why 2 stripes? That's so arbitrary. Put the blue stripes all the way up the shoulders (like the UTL stripes were.... but not with maize in between them like the jerseys for the MSU game) and make the font of the numbers the same style it usually is, and those are pretty sweet jerseys.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:00 AM
#84
I actually wouldn't mind that look I think
The first thing I thought when I saw the UTL jerseys was "why on the classic homes?" They're good looking and could be iconic but our home jerseys are already great - and the home unifrom really hasn't changed since 1938. The roadies, on the other hand, have changed always, and had that terrible yellow piping the last few years. If they stuck with an-UTL style look, I think I'd be okay with it, if it was as you describe it.
Instead they went bumblebee against Sparty and then went "alternates" against Tech. If they pick a look stick with it. And the look you describe would be unique and I think still classy.
