What you wear to the games and why some should stop at mden

How do you know UofM is 3-0? We are now being chided by the fashion police.

"(I have two jerseys (hart(away), and Perry(Home)) i never get to wear since I go to OSU and wear maize to games)"

Say what?

Agreed. I once almost go into a fight with a girl and her boyfriend because it was like 65 degrees and instead of investing in a Michigan sweatshirt or wearing layers this stupid girl decided to where her string-fuzz GREEN north face jacket in the STUDENT SECTION for a MAIZE OUT! And she was a Michigan fan, I checked.

I started giving her shit and so she started bitching to her boyfriend who tried to act tough...anyways the point is that people like this need to go. I wish the student section, at least, would start a tradition of just tearing people apart who don't wear maize until it became so terrible that no one would even consider wearing anything else.

As far as the rest of the stadium goes, I dont think there is much that can be done. I once worked with the marketing department at Michigan, and we gave out like 50,000 maize-out shirts for the PSU game a couple years back. Still didnt work because it was too cold for the blue hairs to wear a tshirt.

All that being said, the ND game crowd looked pretty good overall! Nice work on the M student section!!!

Who has to have every PINK outfit in Michigan from VS. Which hey it's fine, the colors are right and it says Michigan.....almost as much as it has PINK plastered all over it. My wallet would prefer she buys normal sports apparel.

My blue 7 jersey, ALL IN FOR MICHIGAN student tee, Michigan Adidas fitten cap, Michigan wristbands, my ralley towel and Michigan spirit scarf

Not to be a jerk.. but your spelling makes me cringe...

You lost me when you replaced wear with where.

I also am confused as to why it's so hard for people to coordinate a Maize Out. We've been doing it for years now, haven't people gotten the memo?

on TV, don't know what everyone's complaining about.

So everyone doesn't own a maize shirt, big deal.

I refuse to be suckered in by the consumerism that sponsors the legal extortion i.e. the exhorbitant prices for Michigan apparrel.

I've solved the problem by watching the games completely naked as a form of protest. When I d go to the games in person, I simply cover my body in shaving cream. Even my private parts. I used to cover my body in whipped cream, such as Cool Whip brand Whipped Cream, but the flies and bees made life miserable for those around me at the stadium.

"Neon Maize is the real maize"

Personally, I like to wear my No. 7 jersey, but I've taken to having a maize shirt under it (usually this one).

I got the jersey originally for Henson, and it doesn't fit since I lost a lot of weight, but I've transferred its meaning now to Brandin Hawthorne, who wears 7 for his late high school teammate.

I'm not going to buy a maize jersey. I will take it off for the beginning of games, though, so that I don't screw up the maize effect. It goes back on at half time. Good enough for ya, there, neon guy?

M fans tend to be more independent and less into Groupthink than some other fanbases, at least when I went to school there. For example, it's easy to get ND students to ALL wear a green tee, they are open to Groupthink from the womb.

Michigan students, and particularly alumni, just tend to have a higher percentage that says, "screw your edict, I'm wearing what I want!" It's an independent streak that I happen to like. (Frankly, I'm amazed that the Maize-Outs have been participated in and as successful as they have been.)

Just my .02

I wear a home Football jersey (I have over 30 of them). I'll wear an old maize tee under it, along with (old) maize baggy shorts (weather permitting), and a (new) maize cap.

When it gets colder, I have multiple maize and blue coats, jackets, fleeces, pants, and try to put an oversize FB home jersey on over them.

When my Football team starts wearing maize jerseys (home or away, preferably away), THEN I will start wearing maize jerseys.
