Rank the MBB's Jerseys Throughout the Years (With Pictures)

Submitted by UMFanatic96 on February 6th, 2019 at 10:19 AM

Michigan will be wearing "Throwback" uniforms when they play MSU in a few weeks which got me thinking about the past uniforms Michigan has worn. I have compiled a few options with pictures and would like for you guys to rank them from best to worst. 

You can either rank them by era or be super specific and give your top 5 individual uniforms.

The Fab 5 were classic.

Today's is fine, but I'll echo the complaint that MICHIGAN is too small and squished.

Mid/Late 80's were too busy, like a lot of fashion from that era. But they still bring back fond memories.

The late 90's/early 2000's were awful. Way too nondescript.

Hate the Adidas maize-on-maize, because it isn't maize - it's highlighter yellow. And the train-tracks-across-the-junk pattern defies explanation. (Although it might be more appropriate for Ball State.)

I was ready to declare to the Avery Queen-era Giant M as the worst when I saw the thread title. Then the OP reminded me that Adidas made Spike and Caris wear maternity shorts as punishment for Michigan cutting them to sign with Nike.

Fab-5 era is the best IMO.


Current unis are good--could be great if they fixed the font.  Looks like they went through the wash on hot and shrunk.  

80's unis were awesome at the time but look dated now.  Still like the 80's tops with the big block M Michigan but the shorts are definitely a product of the 80's that worked at the time but just doesn't anymore.

1.  Fab Five era.

2.  Mid to late 80’s but the re-related version (bigger shorts).

3.  Current era - but way too tight, small font, small M

Adidas and 90’s were bad.

The less busy, bright, short and tightfit the better.

If the Fab Five style with the Jumpman added, you wouldn’t be able to keep them in stock.
