New Jordan/Nike Michigan gear for 2018
The annual post.
Have to say, this is a very VERY underwhelming batch. Not quite sure what Nike was thinking with some of these designs.
Not quite sure why 75% of the shirts are blank with tiny Block M's. The only thing I will be buying out of this lot is the pair of Nike shoes. The duffel is cool but would be awesome with a Jumpman on the blank patch.

This isn't apparel but it's a new product that I 10/10 recommend. Creative and they're not cheaply made. I've already taken them on the freeway a few times and they've done great.

Ooooo those are nifty! Have to hunt a pair down!
August 17th, 2018 at 6:07 PM ^
Anyone know if the team is gonna wear the yellow pants for away games at all this year, or are they sticking with the throwback all white?
August 17th, 2018 at 10:41 PM ^
Team voted.
Maize.
August 18th, 2018 at 1:26 AM ^
Whoa. Big news, if true. Source?
(The new maize doesn't look good on the road, IMO).
August 17th, 2018 at 6:08 PM ^
Honestly, if I had unlimited money to spend on Michigan gear, I'd probably wear everything shown.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
More swoosh, less Jordan.
August 18th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
I like the Jordan logo, but the price markup with it is just ridiculous.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
Wolverbear 3/4 sleeve is the only thing worth even 70% of the price
August 17th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
I like it. There’s beauty in simplicity
August 18th, 2018 at 1:18 AM ^
I agree with you 100%. In the day and age of crazy Oregon uniforms, sometimes the best way to stand apart is to keep it simple.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Really liked the grey Jordan hat Pep Hamilton was wearing in the BTN interview. Haven't seen it at Mden or Nike.com.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
WD, you and I have very different tastes except for our obsessive love of Michigan. I'm generally into the understated look, so where you see small Ms and blank space, I see beauty.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
Agreed.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
I think I'm good on apparel for awhile unless it's championship gear. Had a lot of it to buy last year and hopefully more this year.
Got to the point where I have to move 99% of my non-Michigan shirts to my dresser.
August 18th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Why in the hell would you own a non-Michigan shirt?
August 17th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
Yes -- there's no accounting for taste. If anything like this was at the U Cellar in the early '80's I would have used some of my East Quad foodservice paycheck to buy one. I had (still have) one blue Champions Michigan sweatshirt and one faded yellow Michigan long sleeve shirt. Don't think I had a true M t-shirt.
August 17th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
Yeah, these are designs that will look good for a long time. Clean, minimal, classy look.
August 18th, 2018 at 1:18 AM ^
Amen.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
Love seeing the Wolverbear. I need that on a hat and as the centered logo on a t.
August 18th, 2018 at 12:43 AM ^
Bought both last year, and they are great. Not sure about wearing together though, Wolverbear overdose maybe...they are my two favorite items of the new gear by far
August 17th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
I have mixed feelings on this year's gear. I purchased several items so far and have loved them including the wolverbear hat. The official jordan team gear fits much better that last year.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
The stuff that's gray with maize accents looks wrong.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
I love the simplicity of a lot of these items, and already have a few.
However, having the Jumpman logo on one peck and the M on the other makes me look like I have weird nipples.
August 18th, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
Actually, your weird nipples make you look like you have weird nipples.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
Is anybody getting the $10,000 bedazzled football helmet for sale on the MDen?
I like the 47 Brand but they don’t make enough Michigan apparel - more cotton and less Dry Fit. That dry fit shit gives me the worst B.O.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
One secret to dry fit: ditch the fabric softener. Fabric softener locks in the odors, and it takes quite a bit of work to get the odors out once it's happened. We don't use fabric softeners at all anymore.
August 17th, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
Have you considered showering?
August 17th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
They don’t call it Shirt Odor for a reason, Dave.
August 17th, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
My biggest thing with Dry Fit is that the material feels funny. Also, unless you're a ripped 20 year old dude, it doesn't really fit your body. At least for me.
I guess there once was a time when I looked good in that material. That time slowly faded away when I became a dad. Sad face.
August 18th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Lol. Dry Fit definitely holds body odor for some reason.
August 17th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
I actually like this more simple stuff better than the weird stuff they try to make
August 17th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
Honestly, I really like the smaller corner chest logos. They may not be the most creative designs, but I love my drifit shirts I got for Christmas. Might get one or two more. I just really like the fit and design of Nike's shirts, especially when compared to Adidas. Just seems like way better quality to me.
August 17th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
all this stuff is sick, I would buy a bunch of it.
Underwhelming my butt
August 17th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
Hate to say it, but I just spent all last week with Arizona St. and there football team. And I must say that the Adidas stuff I shave been seeing from them the last 2 years is amazing. The material is awesome and I like what they are doing w the styles and sizes.
August 17th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Actually, I love this stuff. Not so busy and over the top. Classic looks.
August 17th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
My favorite thing about the jumpman logo was how it was thin and understated. I did not care for how it got bigger and bigger every year but of course was not surprised either. But now being bigger than the block M? Gauche.
August 17th, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
Nike blows.
Adidas forever.
August 17th, 2018 at 10:55 PM ^
My only problem with this stuff is that when I wear it, my gut still sticks out further than my chest. Anyone else have this problem?
August 18th, 2018 at 12:29 AM ^
I actually love almost all of these...
August 18th, 2018 at 1:25 AM ^
I'm stumbled across authentic Jordan football jerseys on Nike.com(more info here). I'm not a fan of the Michigan nameplate on the back or else I would prolly get one.
August 18th, 2018 at 8:05 AM ^
Really do not care for the Jumpman logo. Ruins everything it is on visually. Looks like a seagull craped on you.
August 18th, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
I like most of this. It’s all pretty simple but that is what I tend to like vs all the design and slogan. Gimme A block M and a good fabric and I’m happier than most.
August 18th, 2018 at 8:49 AM ^
It's pretty basic but I don't mind it.
August 18th, 2018 at 9:28 AM ^
There's something beautiful about the clean and simple look. I'd buy a lot of this gear if I had money.
August 18th, 2018 at 10:12 AM ^
Finally the apparel thread I've been waiting for. Did Michigan approve the 3D looking block M logo that has the superimposed wing vee over it? Looks like Angry Birds meet the block M.
August 18th, 2018 at 10:27 AM ^
These sweaters are money though...
August 18th, 2018 at 12:21 PM ^
I do feel like they mailed it in a bit - there could be some different fashion choices and styles used. Seems they played it safe.
August 18th, 2018 at 9:54 PM ^
I actually really like most of it
August 19th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
Where are the toilet seat covers at?
