Unwearable U-M t shirts

Submitted by Blue Kool Aid on July 7th, 2022 at 9:16 PM

I was sorting through my extensive collection of Michigan t shirts, found some old classics (Strike The Pose,   Ann Arbor Torch and Pitchfork Society) and at least one that is UNWEARABLE:  "Revenge Tour" as it culminated in the shit show in Columbus.

Anyone else want to share any UNWEARABLE today Michigan shirts?

Although that game was a terrible experience, I remember that day for two great stories. 

The first was my college roommate was VP of Marketing for Kellogg's non-cereal products (Cheese-Its) so we got onto the game day set early to set up.  He was talking about how Samantha Ponder (then Steele) was working her first game after Erin Andrews left and he was hoping to meet her.  I left the Cheese-Its booth to wonder around and bumped into Samantha.  We had a nice 15 minute conversation about her exciting first day, her football background, etc..  I snapped a few pictures with her, then went back and told my roommate.  He made me hunt her down so he could get a few pictures with her.  He got his pictures, but she didn't have time to talk to him.  She was so very pleasant, humble, and (a-hem) attractive.

The second was we sat with a bunch of ex-players and former Michigan Hockey player, then Dallas Stars forward Eric Nystrom.  After the rout was on most of the players left to go to a suite to get drunk.  Nystrom stayed and was sitting in the row directly in front of me.  We scored around the end of the 3rd quarter or early 4th quarter to make it 31-14.  Nystrom turned around to very enthusiastically give my high fives.  I responded with minimal enthusiasm and commented, "too little, too late."  He moved back a bit and then landed a punch straight to my groin area causing a significant amount of discomfort.  He looked me in my watering eyes and said, "You never give up on your team."  So, I survived a dong punch from an NHL player.

Tell that to all the kids in other countries that have been wearing 1992, 1993, 2013, and 2018 basketball national championship shirts for years.

2011 Gator Bowl. I have a couple. I still wear one because it is undated (so there is plausible deniability) 

Not fond of: 2018 Peach Bowl and 2018 Outback Bowl. Still wear to the gym tho.

I wouldn’t consider the revenge tour shirt unwearable.  Had some good wins.

I had a 2011 Michigan-Ohio State game shirt that I didn’t wear until 42-27

This will probably get negged, but I can’t bring myself to wear my “The team, the team, the team,” T-shirt after the Anderson debacle. Just felt the meaning was tainted, as if the team mattered more to Bo then the safety of his players.

I saw College Football Playoff Semifinal shirts at Meijer after we got chosen but before the game. I thought that was dumb. If we won, we'd want College Football Playoff Championship shirts instead. If we lost (yeah, about that...) we'd want to forget that game and stick to our B1G Championship shirts.

On the flip side - I still have a 1997 judgment day sweatshirt from my freshman year at Penn State.

That would be one where an opposing fan could wear it as a troll job, LOL.

Going through some old boxes in storage last month, I found one commemorating the 1989 NCAA Basketball Championship.

It's only "unwearable" because there's no way in hell I could get my fat gut into a size L anymore.

Damn carbs.

The only unwearable Michigan shirts I have are the ones with the gaping holes at the armpits. I can’t figure it out—I bathe regularly, I’m not overweight or a weightlifter, and I haven’t been wearing them while bushwhacking in the Amazon, so why are the armpits getting blown out?

The 2009 Michigan Football T-Shirt. Had some really weird, cringy, eye-rolling "Michigan Pledge" on the back. I never wore it. 

Maybe its just me, but something about that pledge just reeked of desperation.

Though neither of them fit, I still have both a 1987 Rose Bowl t-shirt and a 1990 Rose Bowl sweatshirt... yet I don't have the 1989 gear.
