Hockey pet peeve: "when a teammate tips a puck in on you, which is exactly how my first collegiate goal against happened. Thanks, Copper."

BOO. YA.
“The player development is the main thing I like (about Michigan),” Williams said. “You can see that they develop their players. They get them in the gym and they work them hard. And their hard work pays off.”
FWIW. Michigan doesn't seem inclined to get re-involved.

"He's a hard worker, and he watched me and Tim (Hardaway Jr.) and Nik (Stauksas) put work in to become (first-round picks), and I'm just happy he's getting better," Burke said. "It's great for the program, too. It shows what type of program the University of Michigan is and the direction it continues to go in."

With all of these throwback jerseys coming out with Michigan Hockey, it made me think of a one-time experiment Michigan did back in the 2008-09 basketball season.
They wore throwbacks by adidas of the 1989 NCAA Championship team against ohio for one time only. They weren't sold to the public.
I really wouldn't mind seeing these back on the floor at Crisler. They don't trigger seizures like the road legacy uniforms did back in October, and they are really accurate.
Thoughts?
Just like the hockey, don't like the "Block M" as the start of the "MICHIGAN" on the jersey.
But MOAR BIG BLOCK M on shorts. And bigger.
I never understood why under Amaker, we went back to the Fab Five uniforms but made the M much smaller.
I don't mind something differnt every once in a while.
So no, no I wouldn't. But throwbacks that are actual replicas of jerseys worn in earlier times are considerably less offensive than jerseys "inspired by previous eras".
Never forget: The Five, the MSU throwback atrocities, and Mike Jones
I enjoy the throwbacks that are actually jersey styles worn in previous years. The frankenstein-esq abomniations that we saw against MSU should never be seen again.
Did we even pretend that the MSU game jerseys were throwbacks? I didn't think we did.
I did like the Under the Lights jerseys. I love the giant M. When they switched it around for the MSU game (with the small M and large number) it wasn't the same.
We wore Maize seemingly every possible home and away game last year. There's only so much maize you can fit into one season. They are some goodlooking jerseys though.
Throwbacks would be cool, but I'd rather have the Fab Five style, Big "M" short jerseys.
Best things ever til I left them at a hotel....
Your loss was my gain. 1994 was a good summer and I finally know who to thank.
Didn't the NCAA put the kibosh on having the numbers off to the side?
I wouldn't mind seeing them again.
I'd be down for this type of throwback....
2013 would be a great time to do it. Also, black shoes, black socks please.
Was the M on the right side supposed to be higher than the one on the left or did we just have serious quality control issues? The M on, what I believe to be, Webber's shorts is much lower than the other pair (is that Jimmy or Jalen?)
It was supposed to be on the bottom. It looks like, on the other player's shorts, like the manufacturer (Russell Athletic) forgot how long the shorts were going to be and then added the extra length at the last minute, after the M had been added.
but the block M at the start of 'Michigan' looks really stupid, regardless of sport
Jeez Novak, that haircut ain't making it.
It was part of the throw back theme. I actually like the BLock M for special occassions. Block M on the shorts should be always and forever.
I like the vintage '89 unis, but only if they also wear them hip hugger style like they did in '89. That should be a requirement of all throwback basketball unis. If your going to pay homage, go all the way.
So leather helmets, no pads in football? I could get behind that.
NEED MOAR LEG SHOWING!
I played hoops in the late 80's era. We were transitioning from pure hip huggers to a slightly looser style. Being thin (OK, skinny), I applauded any shorts that were longer and looser. I felt so exposed in tighty pants.
The content of your post+your MGoAlias=symbiosis
Anything that doesn't involved those moon boots he is wearing would be a plus for me... With those shoes on it looks like he's wearing 4 sizes too big of everything.
Actually there's a clause in the contract, that for every person who bitches about Nike vs. Adidas, the deal is extended another year
You do realize that these are replicas of the 1989 uniforms, right? Adidas didn't "come up" with them.
Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I actually love those jerseys and wish I had the money to buy one after the game (each player's was auctioned off for something). There is a picture of Stu from the Braylon Edward's charity basketball game this year and it looks like he wore the shorts from this game. I would love to see us bring these back once a year and would most definitely buy one. The ones sold right now are not even replicas of the actual jerseys we wear, so I'm not a big fan.
I like them, too, although not more than the Fab Five uniforms. I'd be okay with breaking them out once in a rare while.
Can we throw back to the days when teams wore the same normal looking uniform the whole season?
I've never liked the big M and then ichigan...looks lame.
I'm not a fan either. Call me a heretic, but I think the block M in general should be limited in its use for team apparel. It's great for small placement on football uniforms or as a standalone symbol (like on the back of the new scoreboards), but I like seeing "Michigan" on the uniforms with space, like basketball and hockey.
and i like the shorts a lot better now that they're not short. however, i'd like to see them do the script Michigan across the chest like baseball and hockey did a few years ago. the script Michigan was my fave hockey jersey
I don't mind them that much because they remind me of the national championship team.
Since the '89 team won the ttile in them they are pretty cool. But in term of general looks, I think the closer you get to the Fab 5 era jerseys, the better off you are. Not because they were the Fab 5 jerseys, but because that simple style just looked great.
I think this was the best looking jersey Michigan has ever worn:
Best uni's Michigan has ever sported! Need to have these in the rotation. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing the white version as well. Mix in the maize and they're all set!
I for one hope Michigan never goes back to Nike. Like the gear now better. Nike doesn't know squat about hockey, while adidas owns the Reebok brand.
