Makes a ton of sense.

Ed-Ace: Five FAKEs out of five.

Oh no. How is dave going to respond.
November 1st, 2013 at 5:50 PM ^
Bumble Bee 2.0?
November 1st, 2013 at 6:03 PM ^
God. Don't even joke about that.
November 1st, 2013 at 5:57 PM ^
I think this is actually kind of cool. Not in a Michigan should wear it way. More of a cool for a high school team to use. I will now await the rotten fruit and shoes sure to rain down.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
I'm with you. I'd never want to see Michigan donning it, but that's a pretty sweet and clean helmet design.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
I'm with you. I think that thing is fine for the "Hey look at us our helmet is similar to Michigan's" teams. Not fine for actual Michigan.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
...is better than a simple transposition of colors. Although this is visually interesting, it's too far removed from tradition.
November 1st, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
This would be a sweet alternate high school helmet. Make it happen, Nike.
November 1st, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
WTF is that crap? Boise State Wolverines?
Get off my lawn.
November 2nd, 2013 at 9:57 AM ^
is a very good design. If it had been sprung on us the way the jerseys were in the two previous seasons I think I could have taken this a lot better.
November 1st, 2013 at 5:49 PM ^
Grand Valley State?
November 1st, 2013 at 5:51 PM ^
Is it black, or is it green and just a bad photo? If it's green I actually kind of like it. It it's black (for black's sake) then it's stupid.
November 1st, 2013 at 5:58 PM ^
I agree with this. It's pretty cool if it's green. If it's black I'll pass. I hate black uni's when the school's colors aren't black.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:14 PM ^
I agree with that, but Troy's were pretty good the other night, IMO.
November 2nd, 2013 at 5:44 AM ^
I think it's entirely appropriate for Staee to wear black.

Their chrome helmets didn't help them much last year.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
Good find. Given that that's the golden age of their football team I think it's a cool throwback (as long as they're green, not black).
November 1st, 2013 at 5:57 PM ^
This doesn't look as awful as it should.
Maybe if they tried a rose pattern like that with the regular helmets for the Rose Bowl some day.
This looks like Michigan is trying to become the oregon of the midwest.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
Now I have a design for a bowling ball!
November 1st, 2013 at 5:54 PM ^
If those are green, it's good. I'm curious as to what the rest of their Halloween costume looks like.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:00 PM ^
Geez. Why even play the game, with helmets like those? I hope they keep it under 100 on us.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:00 PM ^
Regarding the potential for Uniformz: “I guess I would anticipate it,” Dantonio said. “Would I expect it? Don’t know if I’d expect it.”
That cleared everything up, Mark. Thanks for taking the time to answer the question.
That being said, if it is a green helmet, I don't think that is necessarily a bad look either.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
That's the famed "1966" helmet, dressed in black.
I had thought that they were going to a gray-green thing tomorrow. Silver helmets, gray pants. "Gray is the new black" for Nike this year, it seems.
RCMB has it:
November 2nd, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
I think the green looks good with gray. Pretty cool uni even if it is Sparty.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:03 PM ^
They didn't want to go with the Jerel Worthys?
November 1st, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they went full blackout tomorrow. Tbh I was expecting a lot worse.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:07 PM ^
I will never understand changing only helmets up. Fans don't buy helmets. Is this the only source? That's not confirming it.
November 2nd, 2013 at 10:37 AM ^
That must be why Sparty is crushing us in recruiting
November 1st, 2013 at 6:18 PM ^
It's actually not bad compared to some others they've tried.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:21 PM ^
This is a fan's design for a helmet. Probably won't be used.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
Whatever. I don't hate them. And I hate uniformz. On us.
I don't give a shit what kind of gear Staee rocks. They change their look every few seasons, anyway.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
Everything is ugly unless it's been around for 50+ years and hasn't been changed. Makes me sick.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:46 PM ^
Yeah, tradition sucks.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:32 PM ^
What uniforms either team wears. Just win.
November 2nd, 2013 at 9:54 AM ^
You're not doing it right. You're supposed to say, "Michigan can wear pink tu-tus for all I care as long as they win."
November 1st, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
That's fine. This game is serious business for this coaching staff. I hope the team is focused and ready. Last time we were there we were screwing around changing into clown outfits and not worrying about all that mattered.
November 1st, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Hey, clown outfits are so damned important.
November 1st, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
I actually think those helmets are pretty nice. I know I'm in the uber minority here, but whatever.
DB better not fuck us with shitty unis again. Go white. Neat. Ready to play. No bumblebee crap.
November 1st, 2013 at 7:44 PM ^
Best part is how former players told John Bacon that they had to spend their pregame lockerroom time cutting themselves out of their taped pads and uniform elements and helping each other put on new uniforms instead of going through their assignments and talking with their position groups. The marketing gurus at 1000SSS and Adidas didn't realize changing in and out of a full football uniform isn't a matter of changing your t-shirt and shorts.
November 2nd, 2013 at 9:58 AM ^
The fact that David Brandon didn't loudly and publicly lambaste Adidas after that uniform clusterfuck is disgusting. He should have filed a lawsuit for breach of contract.
November 1st, 2013 at 7:00 PM ^
White and greeeeeeenn
And a bit of bronze
And occasionally black
And grey, sometimes
November 1st, 2013 at 7:40 PM ^
This comes from a poster at RCMB that makes fake helmet concepts as a hobby. Come on now.
November 1st, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
While I despise the matte paint helmets, I really am digging the wings on the shoulders. A nice little touch.
November 1st, 2013 at 10:30 PM ^
I'm very traditional, but that's a look I wouldn't mind for a non-BCS bowl game. Couldn't support it for a home uniform, or the Rose Bowl.
November 2nd, 2013 at 9:52 AM ^
for an Arena Football League team in Davenport, Iowa.
Christ Almighty.
November 2nd, 2013 at 10:45 AM ^
5 wings means there's enough wings for really super awesome winged gloves and winged socks with individual toe sleeves.
