Rumor: Yellow Jerseys for ND Night Game
Take this with a grain of NaCl but I've now heard this from multiple people who don't know each other:
Michigan's night game jersey will be Yellow.
No word yet on if it will be like the blue and white hockey sweaters with number on chest like has been discussed on the board but IDK. Could this mean white pants?! OMGz.
people who don't know each other suck
and alumni pulling their hair out, jumping out of windows, and lying in ruin in a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth every time the Michigan basketball teams suit up for a game in all maize kits. Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention.
The horror!
Probably because it first happened at least 20 years ago . . .
and they were flipping out about it then, and they likely would now, especially for football.
see following 80 comments, at least
That's very true. However, I submit that a change to one of the most-recognized uniform in college football is a much more drastic change than any change to the Michigan basketball jerseys. But that's just me.
Michigan's football uniform is a cultural icon; the basketball uniform isn't. Except for the baggy shorts and black shoes worn by the Fab Five, of course. I don't think Michigan football is ready for that kind of culture shock. Besides, the lighting is a lot different on a football field because of the grass (or turf that looks like grass).
there is weeping and gnashing of teeth every time the Michigan basketball teams suit up for a game in all maize kits.
When did the Michigan basketball team wear soccer uniforms?
jersey, shorts, socks, shoes, undershirt, helmet (if required).
Just because they call an entire soccer uniform a kit doesn't mean that forever after only soccer uniforms are referred to as kits.
/facepalm
they're not that dumb. i think.
I'd need to see a pic. Might be interesting for one game.
This is the picture that has popped up on scout as most closely resembling what they'll wear.
Note: The artist points out that this jersey should have been painted white.
But I definitely would not dig the yellow on yellow look. Blue pants maybe?
F- me and F- that jersey design. I'm glad I didn't get tickets to the ND game from the Alumni Association. (I lie - I'm still extremely bitter about it and might break down and pay $100s to attend.)
Have you actually heard from the Alumni Association that you didn't get tickets, or have you just not heard yet? I have not heard yet about my application, and am now increasingly nervous.
I submitted my for early morning FedEx delivery and did not get the ND package. I got confirmation from the AA that I got the Nebraska package. F-ers.
I don't mind the thought of a yellow/maize jersey, but lets have white or blue pants with it.
That beats the hell out of those rumored protos that the Free Press printed.
I wouldn't mind this jersey if Adidas didn't produce it. Unfortunately, if they do it will be closer to the highlighter color the student tees are.
PLEASE let this be the jersey they are weaing. That would be awesome. I love me some all maize.
Zubaz Style pants. They'll make Denard look even faster
Yes, that is last week/month's rumored jersey, which Dave Brandon basically denied.
I actually wouldn't mind this. I'm kind of digging the simple clean look of it.
I could probably tolerate something like this actually...
I'm obviously referring to the MGoReaction, the jersey doesn't bother me either way.
Fight for my amusement! Get into slapfights over 15-year-old roster decisions! Argue about recruits 3 years in the future!
Knight Jamez with Maize jerseys? Didn't we ridicule some dude for daring to suggest that about a year ago?
Yes. We all thought he was 14. He was actually David Brandon.
they had better market it as maize, not yellow.
"Maize" is a copyrighted color owned by Nike I believe.
native americans (and Spaniards) are going to be pissed at Nike.
Mich 12th best coaching job in college football? PSU #8, Oregon #10... someone with points feel free to make a thread about this, I'd love to see the wtf'isms

OUR A-/B+ PERFORMANCES FOR THE EARLY 2000s FOLLOWED BY TWO YEARS OF CRAPTACKULAR BOWL-LESS FOOTBALL WITH AN "X-FILES WITHOUT DAVID DUCHOVNY" LEVEL 2009 HAS MADE US, IN THE EYES OF ONE WRITER, A #12 COACHING JOB? OUTRAGE!
Who would ever want to follow in Paterno's footsteps? That's a succession that's almost destined to fail.
Paterno's feet have shrunk enough that the shoes are only metaphoric in size. Paterno has gotten to the point of almost being a poor man's Lloyd... 8-9 win seasons are consistently valid/accepted/expected
I agree with you insomuch as we are talking about win-loss performance. However, the icon that is Paterno is still large and imposing. I would not want to work in that shadow, especially because you know he is not just going away entirely (see Carr's tenure in the AD office).
would probably be helpful. Like having Bo around.
... not yellow
We have not actually worn maize for a long long time. People always get butthurt when it's called yellow, but that is just what we wear.
uni's? The best uniform in all of sports....
Also, maize, not yellow. Damn nation!
that is all.
Put me down for a grain of CaCl2. Larger grains for a more ridiculous rumor.
If true, sign me up for the striped olde timey jerseys we were bitching about a couple of weeks ago. And give me a beer.
or a tablet of cyanide. Not with a grain of salt.
Good to know the pulse of the fanbase is in sync. Yellow? I saw that line and went to post and we got 4 responses already. I'll take the 15yd penalty for piling on.
MAIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why aren't you a fan of the maize jersey? I think it would look cool with the right color pants.
We wear blue jerseys at home.
