When buying M football jerseys, do you prefer blue or white?
I’m looking to buy a Haskins or Hutchinson jersey off M Den while I can (thanks NIL!) and struggling with the internal debate I have every time I go to buy a Michigan football jersey: blue or white? I much prefer the blues on the field but think the current white jersey looks really sharp when worn off the field by fans. The big con of white though is being a stain magnet for coffee, soda, adult beverages, ketchup & mustard, buffalo sauce, pizza sauce, etc whilst tailgating. So what do you guys usually go with when buying a jersey, the blues or the whites?

Why not maize? When was the last time they did a white out?
I still think blue #1 is the most iconic jersey, but I am old.

That's the only jersey I have... and it's made by Champion.

I must have Blue. Maize or White wont work for me. Why? Because I eat like a wild animal and there is no chance I could wear a White or Maize jersey more than once. I am a certified slob.

Be the envy of all your friends and family with these two simple hacks!
I think you should buy both jerseys and then stitch one inside of the other so you have reversible jerseys.
Or cut them in half and stitch them back together. You could do it right/left or front/back in opposite colors.

I'm partial to this one.
January 19th, 2022 at 12:53 PM ^
Blue > Maize > White
White are road uniforms.
January 19th, 2022 at 2:49 PM ^
agreed

I got a blue Haskins jersey for Christmas. I will love it forever.
January 19th, 2022 at 12:55 PM ^
I would probably go blue for the reasons you mentioned. I've had more than my fair share of tailgate spills on my shirts and pants to ever consider white as an option.
Maize I would probably consider if I was getting a generic jersey since I like to wear Maize to games and obviously fits for a maize out. But would be weird with Hutchinson or Haskins since neither of them wore maize jersey in a game.

That you, WD?
January 19th, 2022 at 2:16 PM ^
No way. WD would have a while treatise on why a particular color combo is better for a certain jersey.
January 19th, 2022 at 3:01 PM ^
WD would be more concerned whether you were using Adidas or Nike era jerseys and would insist on a retirement ceremony when it faded to the adjacent Pantone color.
January 19th, 2022 at 12:56 PM ^
Haven't bought a jersey in a while (I own several) but why not both?
January 19th, 2022 at 12:56 PM ^
Blue. I have a white one and it does not compliment my figure. Fat guys don't look good in white. Darker colors are slimming. LOL
January 19th, 2022 at 1:59 PM ^
navy is slimming and intimidating as hell especially if 900+ lbs is coming at you
anyone else remember that time UM rushed for 6 TDs against OSU?
January 19th, 2022 at 2:45 PM ^
Really cool picture ???.
Loved how they got in his face but didn't draw a penalty.
GO Blue

/\Can’t upvote this enough. Actually that’s even more bad ass.
The message is we're gonna beat your ass and be disciplined doing it.
January 19th, 2022 at 5:54 PM ^
I remember. They had to pump it up; don't you know? Pump it up!
January 19th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Notice how many white jerseys are in this picture? That was when I knew we were winning that fucking game.
January 19th, 2022 at 6:51 PM ^
So true CRISPed. This show of power along with the halftime tunnel incident sent a message. ?????
January 19th, 2022 at 8:43 PM ^
fugitive, you bring up a good point. a lot of people aren't familiar with the fact that we beat ohio 42-27. we should get the word out. it was from that same game as your wonderful picture, above. 42-27.

Buy a pair of jorts
January 19th, 2022 at 1:02 PM ^
make a pair of jorts
January 19th, 2022 at 1:03 PM ^
...but only if you let them sag down low enough to show the whale tail
January 19th, 2022 at 2:44 PM ^
oh myyyy... getting a little hot and bothered upton here
January 19th, 2022 at 12:57 PM ^
I like blues, but only for the aesthetic. They're both good looking, just think of when you will be wearing it and what you will be doing. Can't go wrong and if in serious doubt buy both lol
January 19th, 2022 at 12:59 PM ^
Both!
The only hard part is deciding which one to wear.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:27 PM ^
That's simple - blue for home games, white for away games.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:02 PM ^
Isn't this a lot lot asking if someone prefers strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate ice cream? Isn't it really all about what each individual prefers??
BTB Grad, it's time to be your own person. Spread your wings, form a preference, choose that option, and refuse to give a damn what anyone else thinks! I believe in you, kid!!!
January 19th, 2022 at 1:14 PM ^
Speaking of wings, BTB Grad, that was a pretty comprehensive and specific list of potential stains. Buffalo sauce? Soda too, not pop. I suggest you use more napkins and eat slower.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
I already had decided on blue because I’m too clumsy to keep a white jersey clean long term. Just was curious on everyone else’s opinions
January 19th, 2022 at 1:32 PM ^
You're a lion, BTB. Be a lion...
January 19th, 2022 at 1:40 PM ^
Yeah I think your post answered itself. You "waved the white jersey" as they say.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:33 PM ^
Great, now I am craving neapolitan ice cream.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:05 PM ^
blue all day
January 19th, 2022 at 1:08 PM ^
Blue, so that it matches my language when I'm watching the game.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:10 PM ^
since I am over 18 and a male, neither?
January 19th, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
Make way for the Other People's Clothes Police over here
January 19th, 2022 at 1:18 PM ^
When it comes to Jersey's I prefer blue. I have owned both maize and blue gear, but I don't believe I have ever bought any white gear.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
I may be simple-minded here, but the only jersey options I see for Haskins et al. on M Den is the standard NIL blue t-shirt jersey for 40 bucks (my Ronnie Bell tee was my lucky shirt this season). Am I missing something? I would love to buy an actual jersey is they're selling them!
January 19th, 2022 at 1:32 PM ^
If you click on the customized jersey option, you can add the name & number of any current football players.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Either you're Borg, and need the hive to tell you how to live, or you already asked your mom what you should wear, she told you to pretend you're a grownup and figure it out yourself, but you couldn't so you asked MGoBlog.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Both. Also that way you can get a Haskins and a Hutch.
But the Maze.......
January 19th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
Get the one that enhances your eyes.
January 19th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
When I buy a jersey, I usually go to Ohio to buy it...
January 19th, 2022 at 1:36 PM ^
Not in a million years would anyone believe that
January 19th, 2022 at 1:34 PM ^
I would go with blue simply because of my fear of stains getting on the white one
