Looks like you started hating the word "pop" being used as a verb sometime around the mid-15th to 17th centuries.

"Pop" or to "stand-out" is likely an extension off of the part highlighted below.

pop (v.)

mid-15c., "to strike so as to cause to make a short, quick sound;" intransitive sense "make a short, quick sound" is from 1570s; imitative. Of eyes, "to protrude" (as if about to burst), from 1670s.

I wasn't originally a fan of the all-blues, but I've come to see them as sort of a throwback.  [EDIT: redacted.]

Just no bumblebee stripes, please.

No problem! I'm not sure about this, but I think the only pre-Harbaugh period where Michigan consistently wore something besides maize pants (or khaki in the very old days) was a few years in the mid-1970s, roughly '73 through '76, when we wore white pants with the road uniforms.

Call me a traditionalist, but I think we should always wear blue over maize for home rivalry games.

If we're going to do blue over blue, though, I do like the maize accessories.

I don't necessarily disagree, but then I don't think we should have worn it against Penn State.  I am with this look once per season.  I really like our traditional uniforms though and I would have liked to have seen them Under the Lights against MSU.

I don't care that much, though.  Both look good.
