UniWatch reports Change in Road Jerseys
http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/story/_/id/6937142/uni-watch-ponders-nike-future-nfl-jersey-design
Michigan has added a block "M" above the player names, and has also scrapped the extraneous piping on the road jersey (although the Wolverines don't play on the road until Oct. 8 -- their sixth game! -- so it'll be a while before you see the new road design).
Saw the Block M on the back of the home jerseys last week, and from this photo:
It appears the yellow piping is gone. Yes that's in practice, and yes Cam is wearing White Pants that are NOT supposed to make it to game day, but his jersey is fancier than some of the other practice jerseys we saw. It has his name, and yellow outlining around the name and numbers, as well as a matching Block M above his name.
I don't mind the changes. Never loved the yellow piping, but didn't hate it either. Your thoughts?

condensed font on the nameplate with a wider kerning - easier to read

to read through all the comments. but has anyone mentioned the fact that the number is different - the shape of it?

It's the adidas TechFit jersey. Damnit...I bought a $150 authentic of the old road with the elephant-tusk piping. Here's the commerical they released last year.

I never minded the yellow piping of the Henne days, but the yellow side panels looked cheesy. With a classic uniform like Michigan's, why add such a tacky element? If it wasn't for the classic helmets, I'd say we looked like a crappy Big East school.
The new all-white design looks awesome.

They look much better without that curved stripe. That stripe never made any sense. It was like Adidas had some extra yellow fabric and said, "OK, throw it here."

I didn't mind the yellow piping, but I do like the cleaner simpler look.

I see an old game on BTN, such as the 93 Rose Bowl or games from Brady's/Henne's years, I lust for those classic white jerseys. I will be a very happy fan if these are legit and show up on the field on October 8th.

The simple White jersey with bigger numbers looks classic.

Finally! The piping was hideous. We looked like WVU or Arkansas.
