Uniform Snowflake thread

Thoughts on Michigan's uniforms they rolled out tonight? 

I liked the Blue pants. I think we could see those again some day. One of the main reasons they did a special jersey was so they could sell replica jerseys. Not many people who aren't named WD are gonna buy the pants at the garage sale. 

I loved them. Took me a little bit to get used to them but best alternate since UTL I. The shiny stripes(?) made them pop a little bit more to me.

Oh come on, at this point you're just being grumpy for the sake of being a grumpy Michigan fan. Apart from the numbers, the uniform a pretty simple blue and it looked good on TV. My dad is a pretty old school guy and he liked them. Of course I like our normal uniform, but these weren't "awful" by any means.

from row 42, Canadian?  Try from row 78 directly behind you---it was impossible, even sometimes with binoculars.  Like others (including the PA guy AND BrandstatterDierdorf on the radio) have said, 6 and 8 and 9 were very difficult to distinguish from each other---but from that far back, I'll add the numeral '0' to that mix.  F those 'shutter' stripes; absolutely a bad idea.

As for the blue pants---they make our team look like they were all wearing those yoga pants that look good on the gals, just not on our football players.

I'm always amazed at all the tradition talk yet people actually like this vomit. This crap offends me a lot more than playing some sing-along music during timeouts.

I remember how we put numbers on the helmets for one game and the players really liked them. They decided to keep the numbers on the helmets. I think that team went 11-2. If that's what it takes (I know it's not) then I say wear blue pants for the rest of the season.

reminded me of the St. Louis Rams or the Toledo Rockets. I think they'd look better with normal jerseys or on the road with white jerseys. I didn't care for the striped numbers.

Bleah.  Stupid gimmick unis.  Blue pants not end of world.  Striped numbers look clowny.  I guess there are some suckers who will buy the jersey.  Hooray marketing.  Personally I wouldn't wear one of those things if you gave it to me for free.

to make this an all blue versus all white uni match up.  I didn't mind them as much as I thought I would but they are not my favorite.  Maybe without the blue on blue stripes on the shoulders.  ?also, I didn't like the stripes in the numbers.
