Would you want to see these M throwbacks again?

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.

I never understood why under Amaker, we went back to the Fab Five uniforms but made the M much smaller.

I'm opposed to throwbacks on principle

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.

So..

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.

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.

I'm in the minority

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'm not a fan either. Call me

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.

Exactly

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:
