Uniformz: Nike says that our new uniforms will be traditional and not have many changes
Nothing concrete, but the Nike design director for NFL and NCAA apparel said at a Nike event that Nike is "planning on sticking close to tradition" with respect to our uniforms and that Michigan will retain much of the creative controle over our uniforms. Here's the money quote that is sure to make many here (including me) happy:
“Especially with (Jim) Harbaugh there and his roots there. I would foresee something more along the lines of what we know and love about Michigan.”

You clearly don't have what it takes to work in the corporate office at Toys R Us.

Leave home and away jerseys the same. Always and forever.
I'd prefer if we don't go with alternate uniforms again. If we absolutely have to, make it a high profile non-conference night game.
I don't like wearing alternates ever during the regular season - but if you're saying it's an absolute must. Non-conference (big) night games only. NEVER for a B1G game.
My one "for the kids" tweak I'd like to see...I'd like to see all-blue uniforms vs. all-maize in the spring game ONLY. A true maize vs. blue game - sell the uniforms after the game and give ALL proceeds to Mott's Children's Hospital.
This way Nike gets to make it's alternate, the recruits and young folks get to buy a third jersey, and the money goes to a great place. For one spring game that doesn't mean anything...I can live with it. I think it would be pretty cool actually.
P.S. No alternates in bowl games either, just stick to what we do best for regular season and postseason play.
December 9th, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
I don't think they would make an alternate uniform just for the spring game and market it. It'd have to be used in a real game.
December 9th, 2015 at 7:49 PM ^
I guarantee if they made limited edition jerseys for the spring game they would sell.
In fact, I know a certain person who'd buy both the maize and the blue version. Along with the exclusive socks, wristbands and anything else he could get.
...you know him too.

I'd be okay with alts for bowl games and maybe select throw backs... ie helmet numbers and maybe a couple of flourishes, for select games.
December 9th, 2015 at 7:52 PM ^
That's one of the times that the entire nation is looking at you. That's one of the times you're traveling and fans who can't get to A2 get to see you in person...I don't like wearing alternates for those.
Just like the game versus Bama in Dallas.
I HATED that Oregon didn't even have it's school colors on their jersey for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!! That was going to be a picture in every office, on t-shirts, something for the ages...and you couldn't even tell it was Oregon.
December 10th, 2015 at 2:37 AM ^
That's twice that Oregon did that. It was an embarrassment, added on to by the way they played on the field. It's like they knew they were going to play like crap, so might as well look like it too.
I still have pictures of Michigan in their classic home unis in the de-facto NC game in the Rose Bowl in 1997. Looking iconic like Michigan should.
Could you imagine if we showed up in some black and gray alternative instead?
December 9th, 2015 at 1:44 PM ^
then they should happen with a low-profile game. That way it's just trying on a new look, and if it doesn't work, well, nobody cared about the game to begin with, so no harm done.
The big games should stay traditional, end of story.
December 9th, 2015 at 3:32 PM ^
December 9th, 2015 at 7:53 PM ^
Hey everyone come watch us put on these new custom uniforms alternates for our noon game versus Eastern Michigan on BTN.
lol, that would never happen.

I've been holding off purchasing anything until this contract kicks in.
December 9th, 2015 at 10:59 AM ^
Me too! Glad I'm not alone.
December 9th, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
the current gear to go on sale before I buy new stuff. I don't care what brand it is, I can't resist something 75% off retail.
December 9th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
I actually like the Adidas sweatshirts compared to the Nike ones, so will be buying in bulk.

August 2016. From what I've been reading, the Spring Game is the last semi-official time the team will be wearing Adidas.

Yeah just add the Jordan logo on the uniforms and go to work!!!

The last spring sport (Baseball) ends at the end of June; the first fall sports (Soccer and Field Hockey) start up in early to mid-August. So no sports will have to switch mid-season.
December 9th, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
So what constitutes traditional for the road uniforms?

Even more importantly: what is best. That is what Harbaugh would say.

With that said, I'm pretty sure all white is gone for '16. I have heard back to Maize pants...
December 9th, 2015 at 11:09 AM ^
Which is also fine. just good to see here that thunderbolts are now out of consideration.
December 9th, 2015 at 11:37 AM ^
Matte chrome thunderbolts with metal stamped flames coming off them. Adding new colors neon lavendar & agressive pink. Also, the helmet decals is like, old or something. Time for an oversize jumpman logo that spills over onto the jerseyz.

Nike IS NOT ALLOWED by Bama, Texas, USC to fuck with their classic looks. Michigan needs to hold just as firm.
Nike would turn every school into Oregon if they were allowed. And they would come up with studies and surveys and reasonings to support their puking up yet another monstrosity.
