your opinion, man.
I just repeat whatever I hear on the playground . . .
fucks with the Jesus
No, what happened to tradition? People listen to reason. No numbers on the helmet pls k thnks.
With all the major changes to the uniform, that's the one you zero in on? There's actually more of a historical basis for numbers on the side of the helmet (we had them in the 1960s) than just about all the other changes.
I think I'll like them....... For only one game.
my opinion, but it's fact!
even if it is only for one game.
I'm not saying I like them, but they won't be exactly the ones that were leaked because actual player jerseys don't have those goofy long sleeves that the replicas do. This will at least minimize that harsh stripe to a small area on the shoulder.
Designed by their fashion consultant of choice...
FREEKBASS!!
I'll take any uniform design over a joke like this guy and his "hype video" or whatever it was supposed to be. Was that sponsored/endorsed by ND?
Sometimes I feel a fireman's smock and gloves would be necessary to pick up a cat. I know some cats that can get bitey or scratchy.
never to mess with gray pussy - especially when it looks this angry.
Does anyone know when ND will reveal their uniforms?
I think they revealed theirs a few months ago and then also decided to release ours at the same time to steal our thunder. Dave Brandon was all like "ohh hell no" and changed the design.
he didn't really. what was said about the jersey months ago is true today.
MDen's Tweets basically guarantee that the captured item on the front page is the real deal
Doesn't this seem to happen a lot? I feel like it happened with the jersey redesign the Lions did. Maybe it's their way of testing the waters.
Is that real? It's pretty cool.
that, and i'm presuming this is THE picture given the fact you can see sleeve stripes, the bottom half may includes tall socks or at least a brighter blue as compared to the current black/dark navy small socks that current uniform boasts.
If you zoom in the stripes are pretty evident. The gloves look awesome, but I am still partial to gray or white gloves. Also, I am surprised they used a shield on the helmet in the picture because the tabs on the top cover some of the wing.
...in photoshop shows they blootched out a section on the helmet.
So, be prepared for helmet numbers...or perhaps, something else.
The uniform may look good given the sleeves are much shorter compared to the previous pictures we have seen of the striped sleeve uniform.
if the actual design was completely different and MDen was in on the conspiracy to distract the faithful. Chance of this being true: 0.0
Please don't shame us with some crummy, cheesey uniform. I live in Idaho, so most of my friends arne't the biggest Wolverine fans, so I don't want to have to defend this uniform like I had to do with their defense last year.
The uniform is on the front page. Take a look and see if you like it.
Who else???
I'm buying one. If they come in kids sizes I'll buy for my little one too! As Puddy said "gotta support the team."
That leaked image from mden has to be the jersey. That's why all of a sudden Brandon is unveiling them friday.
I think the plan all along was to reveal them Friday. MDen simply jumped the gun by releasing the image on the web site.
but it would be pretty funny if the pic is a head fake, and they come out with somehing totally different. Maize jersey and white pants for example.
anybody?
1887. Michigan took the train to South Bend and taught ND how to play football. Seriously. It was ND's first game ever.
Final score: Michigan 8, ND 0
Kelly stated the uni will be based on this era (1959-1962). Main differences from current green uni are the "UCLA stripe" shoulders w/ numbers and giant freaking clover on the helmet.
Green uni for ND and Blue for M. What a mess.
Over/Under 12 interceptions.
OSU should do a giant pot plant throwback helmet. (I know its a Buckeye nut "flower".....but the pot plant helmet is more appropriate now.
Everyone is after me Lucky Charms.
We don't need any of that ND dumb luck in Michigan Stadium!
Why would Michigan unveil ND's jersey at Michigan Stadium?
The clover leaf may be better than our uni. Yikes.
That clover leaf sucks total ass. Ours are growing on me, but I'm glad it's just one game.
Clover leaf? WTF NO.
...an MgoLiveblog for the unveiling.
Damn not what I was expecting. Maybe they'll look okay with Denard tearing up the ND defense?
The thing that scares me most is that you know in his heart of hearts, DB thinks that the Pro game is the pinnacle of stadium experiences.
Each year he edges us closer and closer to the edge of the slippery slope. One day we'll look up and see mascot races, t-shirt guns, organ muzak, . . . and of course lots of scoreboard advertising.
Atta boy Dave. You put the K in Klassy.
Will we have the thing where the weenie races the polish sausage and the bratwurst? That thing screams of the essence of true football . . . .
I think the throwback jersey idea sucks, but you're going way overboard. DB is about as far away from loving the pro game as you can get. He may have an ego the size of the stadium, but he's college through and through.
