New Football Uniformz Spotted?
Earlier this year, Dave Brandon promised everyone that the football uniforms would remain consistent throughout the year, but that we might see something different for the bowl game. Well, Sam Webb posted a picture of all the recruits in the locker room today (https://twitter.com/SamWebb77/status/280061091344678912/photo/1/large) and if you look closely there is a blue jersey in the back that we have never seen before.
It looks a lot like what we wore for the Alabama game, except obviously a home version. Could this be what we will be seeing in the bowl game?

If for no other reason than to watch people freak out like children.

We got the two or three Block M's; right sleeve, left sleeve (upper right chest?). Then you got a Big Beautiful B1G logo (maybe that's the upper right chest). Then the centered adidas logo. Then the Outback Bowl patch because you just gotta have an Outback Bowl patch and then, DO NOT FORGET BECAUSE WE WILL NEVER FORGET, your standard Legends jersey patch for the dozens of guys who now seem to be fitted with them, maybe another Block M on the back collar if you are one of the guys who can't seem to find an adidas jersey that opponents don't try to throw you down with and what you end up with is... you guessed it...
Seriously; it was bad enough getting keelhauled and molested by Alabama. But to also have prostrated ourselves to the world of Uniform$ at the same time, when they looked like ... Alabama

You and Herm would get along well.

I kind of hope we wear pink uniforms with golden tassels around the crotch because the reaction on this site would be amazing. Michigan football will continue to be Michigan football regardless of the OMG UNIFORMZ.

Completely agree but I still like the white ones we wore for Alabama more.
December 15th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
I thought those were great, and I wish they were the standard road jerseys.
December 16th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
Now they remind me of 41-14. Other than that, I think they look good.
Even Bo's 74 & 75 teams tried variations on the away unis (white pants).
Of course, leave the home unis alone.
December 15th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
We be considered the underdog, and therefore be wearing white jerseys in the bowl game?
December 15th, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
What I was referring to wise guy. I was always under the impression that the team ranked higher wears the home jersey.
December 15th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
is the "home" team.
December 15th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
Bowl officials count the number of first order maternal relatives of the listed starting lineup for both teams who live in state hosting the bowl. The team with most maternal relatives living in state is the "home" team and gets to decide which Pro Combat uniform their opponent must wear.

They determine designated home teams by bowl tie ins.
- Last year, the B1G team was the road team. This year they're the home team. This is how all bowl games except the BCS title game designate home teams
- If only one team from a tie-in conference is in the game against one from a non tie-in, they team from tie-in conference is usually the home team. (See: 2005 Rose Bowl)

December 15th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
agreed. for sure
December 15th, 2012 at 8:50 PM ^
Looks slutty, does it come in pink?
December 15th, 2012 at 8:50 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
thats exactly what I was thinking
December 15th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
It makes me think of WVU for some reason. I don't like it, but I'm a traditionalist.
December 15th, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
WHITE PANTS!
December 15th, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
yellow pants working with that. Very WVU.
December 15th, 2012 at 8:52 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
Very appropriate, but ... I'm tired of this particular animated GIF. Sorry.
December 15th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
That gif works for me... The cheap, clownshit Big East uni's that Brandon seems to produce every week do not.
December 15th, 2012 at 8:54 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 8:55 PM ^
Do you work for the CIA...you managed to spot a photobombed jersey somewhere on the internet?

If it lands us a few recruits I don't mind a new uniform from time to time since for some reason all recruits seem to love new/non-traditional/multiple uniforms. But, I don't think any of our special uniforms look that good. Also, they don't seem to fit as well as they are often either too big or too small. They just don't seem to be quite as good and I don't think we look good in them, so hopefully the kids take notice and like them.
December 15th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
have certainly helped Bama recruit.
December 15th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
For Alabama and USC's recruiting...
December 15th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
unlike bama and usc we haven't won a championship most current recruits will remember, so keeping the brand name up is a little more difficult among recruits for us.
December 16th, 2012 at 8:00 AM ^
Even being a national name and one of the original football schools on top of great academics and a sterling reputation aren't enough. We have to dress like bumblebees and old school pirates to get kids to come to our school. We should join the Big East too. We'd fit in there now.

Guhh, stupid wow expirences

December 15th, 2012 at 9:01 PM ^
NO NO NO
Dick with the away uniforms, but I will be PISSED if the team ever wears those on the field.
December 15th, 2012 at 9:01 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 9:03 PM ^
to go with that? i prefer all the originals, but if we're going to go crazy i'd at least like to see what that would look like.
December 15th, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
wait... but then it would be just like.... normal. Why would you want that?
December 15th, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
I will say the one I did like was the version with the white pants. I'd love to see a home uniform w/ white pants/blue top as a special uniform one day. That is if we are gonna mess...still not as good as the traditional IMO.
December 15th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^

I agree & would rather never see a non-traditional jersey & probably wouldn't want one at home. But, if we are gonna wear a non-traditional jersey in a bowl game or neutral site game where we are wearing home jerseys that's the scenario I would suggest this in. But, I totally agree that I'd rather see the traditional look if it were up to me.
