Throwback Uniforms Today
Looks like Michigan will wear the same uniforms they wore against MSU again today. Personally not a fan of these being called throwbacks since they aren't a uniform Michigan ever wore (never wore maize in this style and the numbers on the front of the jerseys were offset in the 80s version). I'd prefer a direct throwback to the blues they wore in the 89 title game if they want to honor that era.
WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? No Picture? Which uniforms did they wear v msu?

The 1989 National Championship uniform
Pretty close except that we didn't wear maize then. That started with the Fab Five.

Michigan wore maize in the 70s for big home games, though white was the usual uni.
As long as they win they can wear whatever they want
Pink tutus and bowler hats?
If it would help them win a national title, they can wear banana hammocks for all I care.
They could drape themselves in velvet for all I care.
If it makes them feel pretty, I don't judge.
Tutus, pink or otherwise, only really work if one has the legs for it.
Come on. These guys are D1 athletes. If they don't have the legs for it, who among us does?
No kidding. We aren't too far removed from football season where everyone had an opinion about blue pants but they seemed to work for us pretty well in terms of success on the field
Shirts and skins as long as they win
at least they’re not wearing the Maize with tire tread pattern. WTH Adidas?!
I actually liked these modern updates to the late 80's kit - I'd swap some of the colors here and there (having a *white* block-M on the side panels just seems off), but those uniforms have personality and are, to me, distinctly "Michigan"
I agree with you, though, that having these in blue would be sweet - maybe even do a version of blue with no white trim at all, similar to the football home unis

Billy Crystal as Fernando Lamas (sort of)
Don’t be a schnook
MAH-VE-LOUS
I am a BIG fan of the Maize...the Yellow maize not the gold maize which I hate.....
Who could forget this tournament masterpiece from Adidas from back in the day. Looked like something you would see on a clearance rack at Meijer.
Followed quickly by a post which insisted that the players loved them.
We gonna miss part of the game for Kansas finish
Likely delay UM/Tenn a bit. TV deals call all the shots. Not sure they will miss the tip for big game.
Our game has been postponed to 5:50.
these are by far my favorite basketball uniforms. they look great.
The only good thing about those uniforms are that we beat StAEE in them. The white numbers on maize jerseys are really hard to see.
I'd prefer blue numbers as well - although they read well enough for me, white numbers on a yellow jersey with dark blue side panels looks not dissimilar to the Laker home jerseys from 2000-2019. Which is cool with me personally, but isn't really right for Michigan's traditional maize uniform look.
Blue pants!
(Did I do that right?)
FTW.
The throwbacks are fire and the team wins in them. 14/10 would wear again.

I've always called this version of the bball kit "the Missouri jersey". Mizzou wore a virtually identical uni back in the day, and I recall that they wore it first. Whether or not we borrowed the design, it's always been one of my favorites, though I'm still partial to the Cazzie era unis with the fake belt.
