Which looks better on Michigan? Away socks debate.

Submitted by WingsNWolverines on

I have always wanted to ask this question and it's simple, but yet it's a question I've always wanted to ask on here. When it comes to Michigan's away look for road games do you prefer the Wolverines to wear white socks or blue socks? In your opinion which looks better with an away jersey? I always thought the white socks looked better with our road jersey and looked sharper with the maize pants.

Blue.  Not only sleeker, but the white tend to get mud on them throughout the game and remind me of my dirty laundry bin.

I have an idea. Let's have white, blue and maize socks. The offense, defense, and special teams could all have their own color. I realize this could cause problems with players that will end up playing on multiple sides of the ball, but just some food for thought. To answer you question, I am really torn and don't have much of a preference.

Maybe I'm just really tired, but are you really asking everyone what sock color they prefer?  Maybe we should debate next whether the players wear boxer briefs or boxers?

White and it's not even close in my mind.  High whites with black shoes make everybody look cooler and a hell of a lot faster IMO.....

Tell me those arent badass!

When I read the title, I thought "white away, blue home, obvs; black shoes always." It seems I am in a small (or not as vocal) minority; the Blues have it. However, I don't think 70's; I think late-90's, early 00's. That uniform Brady is wearing, period, should be our away uni, maybe updated without the stripes the way they are (though I'd keep 'em). And socks- maybe some block M's on them too.

If I absolutely had to choose one, it would be blue, but I don't mind the white socks either.

Hey, they could come out wearing hot pink everything, but as long as they win, it doesn't matter.

Although white looks good on the away uniforms too. Now if we're talking home uniforms...then blue no doubt. There's something very unappealing, at least in my eyes, when I see our guys in a blue jersey, maize pants....and white socks.
