I swear to the fake god that if if they trot on the field with those jerseys, I will flip out. I'm OK with alternate uniforms every now and then, but not jellow jerseys.
January 14th, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
Blue pants will happen sooner than people are willing to admit. Maize jerseys will follow shortly after.
This ain't your daddy's Michigan Football program anymore.

Are you my mother?
January 14th, 2014 at 1:55 PM ^
I walk the line on the whole uniformz debate . . . I want the all-whites from the 80s, can tolerate slight changes to finish or some stripes, but hate the all-out swapping of colors.
January 14th, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
I am more interested in what the fat man in the bottom picture did to necessitate his arm being in a sling.
January 14th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
He probably hurled some slurs at Kimye and took on the full rage of the greatest rockstar alive.
January 14th, 2014 at 2:07 PM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 3:22 PM ^
Those things are heavy.
January 14th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
I hate it. With the white-hot-hatred of a million suns. It is worse than any other of the crazy uniforms by a factor of ten.
I'm not joking. I'm not just grousing. Maize is a great color for basketball and hockey. But football home jerseys ought to be dark. Michigan Navy Blue, specifically, where it pertains to our team.
Fortunately, I think that's a Riddell mockup... but it is a horrible one.
January 14th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
suite this past season (one of the suites i was a server for) the question was asked of the adidas rep about why michigan didn't have anymore alternate jerseys this year... her (the rep) exact words were "michigan just doesn't want to pay for them"... so unless DB loosens the purse strings when it comes to uniforms this isn't going to happen any time soon...
January 14th, 2014 at 2:05 PM ^
I just assumed that Adidas/Nike/UA provided those jerseys without a cost to the university. I wonder if these contracts are written for 2 jerseys (or whatever your standard is) and then each additional one is a cost to the university.
Or they were just lying about it and Michigan just didn't want them.
January 14th, 2014 at 2:03 PM ^
or it could be the costume for the twerking girls in Norfleet's first music video. . .
January 14th, 2014 at 2:04 PM ^
it isn't a new Delaware uniform?
January 14th, 2014 at 2:36 PM ^
Or one of the dozens of HS's across the country that use the blue/yellow and a winged helmet.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
Theirs is a lot lighter than ours and the uniform up there is a pretty dark blue.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:58 PM ^
I was just being sarcastic. Not always detected on the internetz.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:14 PM ^
That one eluded detection
January 14th, 2014 at 2:06 PM ^
My guess is that since it's a Riddell display, it seems like they put the Michigan helmet (a Riddell product) on a generic Michigan-colored jersey (because Michigan jerseys are a non-Riddell product), rather than being actual new uniformz.
Just my guess, though.
January 14th, 2014 at 2:05 PM ^
Yep on par with how bad the bumblebee's were. Do not want.
January 14th, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
This looks like Riddell simply trying to get people intrigued by their helmet exhibit, I would think, but all the same, I would hope there is some sort of eyewash station nearby for people as they walk away from their area. I couldn't fathom those at Michigan, but you would think that Adidas would be kind enough - just once - to let them outfit a more true-to-life mockup rather than parade that out there. Yikes.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:16 PM ^
Blue pants yes!
... for road games with white jerseys. Not at home with maize jerseys.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:22 PM ^
Eh, I suppose I would not mind blue pants with a yellow M on the upper thigh and white jersey. Actually, that would look pretty cool. I still love the yellow pants though.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:02 PM ^
Maize, not yellow. That's UofM 101 stuff dude.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:19 PM ^
just a helmet maker these days?
Once upon a time Michigan wore Russel uniforms.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:25 PM ^
Make it stop!
January 14th, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
Not a fan of those, but still like them better than the bumblebee and UTL unis. Both were embarrassing.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:35 PM ^
That 2011 UTL jersey is awesome.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
Wouldn't mind seeing us in those. bring the whole team out in black spat tape too while your at it.
no sarcasm.
January 14th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
Looks really bad. Limits just aren't Dave Brandon's thing.
January 14th, 2014 at 4:02 PM ^
to mess with classic styling and tradition.
This is what separates Michigan and MSU. Michigan doesn't need to change its uniform style to stay trendy, MSU does because apparently different is better.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, except changing helmet models and jerseys and pants only works off the field when you're good on it.
January 14th, 2014 at 4:13 PM ^

What is "HGI"? Hilton Garden Inn? If so, are you friends with "Hilton Garden Inn" on Facebook, or do you "like" that particular page? I'm just curious, as it's a really obscure acronym to throw out, IME.
January 14th, 2014 at 4:34 PM ^
Im not normally one for change BUT.its a different world out there...Kids these days
are all about the Uniforms..We have to Keep Up ...Now you might say that the uniforms dont
matter in a kids decision BUT sometimes stuff like that DOES Matter..You never know
what the tipping point is with todays Kids...Keeping up with the current trends is important
January 14th, 2014 at 4:58 PM ^
Other schools can do it and it's cool because they have colors and styles that mesh well with alternates. Miami (YTM), Baltimore, Oregon, they all spring to mind. I don't think there's a really good way to make an alternate Michigan uniform in the same way.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
yuck city
January 14th, 2014 at 5:50 PM ^
If they had to wear pink to get back to championship contension then i don't care if its the bee revisited, pink, or what have you. Just give me my fall happiness back.
January 14th, 2014 at 6:08 PM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
That's the worst.
I don't mind changes...they are inevitable. But shoulder stripes shouldn't happen.
January 14th, 2014 at 7:48 PM ^
I'm so sick of this shit. Let Michigan be Michigan.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 8:41 PM ^
With ND going with all green (jersey and pants) with gold helmet.
Just wait.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
Honestly they look like the new West Virginia jersey's with a Michigan helmet.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 11:04 PM ^
Just don't touch the helmet.
