Maize accessories & socks are a nice addition to the all blues. Looks sharp and will pop under stadium lights and against MSU’s all whites
October 28th, 2022 at 1:02 PM ^
Does “accessories” just mean “gloves”? Mouth guards? Earrings? Jocks?
October 28th, 2022 at 1:08 PM ^
Undershirt, socks, gloves, etc.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:16 PM ^
I’ve noticed our DBs usually wear white gloves at home regardless; presumably so any grabbing of the jersey is less obvious to officials.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:18 PM ^
Correct.
October 28th, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
I believe that is (or was) against the rules. Too busy/lazy to look up the rule number, but I thought that any gloves are to be of colors contrasting with the opponents' jerseys.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:16 PM ^
If Chase Winovich was still on the team, he'd have "Ultimate Warrior" arm bands w/ tassels.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:35 PM ^
For some reason, I hate the term “pop” so much. When did that shit start?
October 28th, 2022 at 2:25 PM ^
Once you pop, you can't stop.
Brought to you by the worst chips on the planet.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:57 PM ^
I've come to like Pringles a little bit over the years; much better that corn chips or straight tortilla chips...and cheetos.
October 28th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
Lays makes Cheetos flavored potato chips. They are delicious.
October 28th, 2022 at 8:37 PM ^
Pringles is frankenfood. The have about as much potato in them as McDonald's fries does.
October 28th, 2022 at 8:15 PM ^
lol those aren't chips.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:40 PM ^
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. Sense of "to appear or to put with a quick, sudden motion" (often with up, off, in, etc.) is recorded from mid-15c. Baseball sense of "to hit a ball high in the air" is from 1867. To pop the question is from 1725, specific sense of "propose marriage" is from 1826. Related: Popped; popping
October 28th, 2022 at 3:09 PM ^
Interesting. I only hate the verb when it refers to clothes or apparel.
October 28th, 2022 at 4:12 PM ^
what about home decor?
October 28th, 2022 at 7:25 PM ^
I learned that this was the first draft of the very old nursery rhyme:
"Appear With a Quick, Sudden Motion Goes the Weasel."
Apparently it didn't test well.
October 28th, 2022 at 8:59 PM ^
Get off my demesne
October 28th, 2022 at 7:47 PM ^
Ever since I can remember I've been poppin' my collar.
October 28th, 2022 at 11:18 PM ^
Three 6 Mafia!
October 28th, 2022 at 8:41 PM ^
You're not a real Michigander then.
October 28th, 2022 at 9:21 PM ^
Ok boomer
October 28th, 2022 at 1:00 PM ^
LOVE IT!! Now hopefully UM whoops some ass.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
Where it says “adult size costume” should have said “big brother size costume”. Missed opportunity imo.
/s, kind of
October 28th, 2022 at 1:08 PM ^
Great except for the socks
October 28th, 2022 at 3:05 PM ^
I agree. I prefer blue socks with the all blue uniforms. Keeps the whole look cleaner.
October 28th, 2022 at 4:17 PM ^
I don’t like the shoe-sock combo, but I don’t know what I would do differently with those socks. White shoes definitely wouldn’t work.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:11 PM ^
The turnover glasses! I hope we see those often tomorrow. Love this combo
October 28th, 2022 at 3:40 PM ^
I wear sunglasses at night.
October 28th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
The future for this team is so bright, they gotta wear shades
October 28th, 2022 at 1:17 PM ^
I'm still a fan of the all blue, but this looks pretty slick.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:23 PM ^
Better than maize jerseys, that's for sure.
Wait and see on the accessories. I'm not sure that will work.
October 28th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
The Country Roads ensemble was a horrible idea and I’m glad they’ve dropped it.
October 29th, 2022 at 2:08 AM ^
West Virginia is not important enough to have a monopoly on any color combo
October 28th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
The goal, in my view, should be to find ways to do innovative turns on the unis while preserving their iconic character. I think this comes pretty close. Better than the maize jerseys, absolutely. I like the socks!
October 28th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
Sick kits
October 28th, 2022 at 4:19 PM ^
We’re playing soccer in those?
October 28th, 2022 at 1:52 PM ^
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.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:13 PM ^
That's just not true.

Per that last link, the Michigan Daily even described the football team's pants as being a "brilliant yellow" in 1940.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:37 PM ^
Wow, I was under the impression it was a post-WWII innovation. I was pretty far off. Duly noted.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:43 PM ^
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.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:08 PM ^
lord, another uniform post? tomorrow night can't come soon enough.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:08 PM ^
Thumbs up for the Maize accessories! It's going to look sharp under the lights.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
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.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:20 PM ^
I can think of 42-27 reasons why to wear the all blues for a rivalry game.
October 28th, 2022 at 2:21 PM ^
You go with All Blues for big games at home until you lose!
October 28th, 2022 at 2:24 PM ^
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.
October 28th, 2022 at 3:37 PM ^
I don’t care how we look (aesthetically). Michigan has a great track record in all blues, so until that trend is broken I’m all for wearing them in every big game. I don’t think of myself as very superstitious usually, but I’m a little stitious.
October 29th, 2022 at 12:11 AM ^
One of the best lines in TV history right there.
