Uniformz: Is this the UTL III vs. Penn State jersey?
So I received the M Den's HTTV catalogue today and right on the first page was the disaster seen below.
Now the catalogue says nothing about it being the in game jersey but it is named: adidas 2014 Premier Navy #98 Night Game Football Jersey.
So does anyone now if this is a thing or not? If so, these could be up there with the MSU bumblebee jerseys.
Because he invalidates your theory that "'uniformz are for the kidz' is bs"?
No he doesn't. WD seems like a nice enough kid, but if you put a block M on a piece of dog shit he would go out and buy it.
Wait...you saw his ebay purchase history?
Sincerely,
A dude who owns the market in selling authentic cow turds with a block M on them
"Alum, there's a Mr. Brandon on line 1. He says he knows a little something about marketing, and wants to discuss your cow turds idea."
...but it also supports everyone who says "yes, these jerseys look like shit, but the kids love them...WD is a MGoExample of his generation."
We just don't understand.
BTW, these aren't nearly as bad if they look like the OP. My guess is they'll roll out in some brownish/dingy throwback yellow pants to go with this.
Do they wear leather helmets is all I want to know...
But yeah, that jersey looks comical, come on Brandon, don't make them wear it for UTLIII. I would also like to leave Adidas, I'm sick and tired of their design department's penchant for stripey things and yes, please get our colors right.
Actually, "badly" isn't correct either. To hate someone "so badly" suggests that one is "so bad" at hating said person. It would be more appropriate, and less ambiguous, to say that he hates him "so much."
just died laughing at this exchange
only on Mgoblog is the community tight-knit enough for the blogger to admit he hates a poster
You may hate him but trust me, Dave Brandon loves, loves, LOVES him.
When our AD says he wants/gets input from fans I picture a focus group somewhere with a room full of Wolverine Devotee type people all nodding their head in excitement as Michigan's marketing department rolls one new idea after another at them.
Sigh....'tis true
Wait a second . . . DB is your Dad???
.
...but with new "characters" involved:
"I am your father, Luke..., er...no, I mean...uh, I am your father, Wolverine Devotee."
The one time you want Chris Hansen to show up it turns out he went to MSU.
DB should be made aware of this and pay the guy. Or at least give him a nice discounted rate on all the garb he buys. WD must be emptying his bank account to get all these new uniformz.
You just blew your chance to replace Ace/Heiko/New-dude-that-will-be-writing-for-the-Washington-Post-in-6-months. Good one.
While I'm flattered you think I'd even be considered for a job on here, that would never happen.
I'm not a journalist. I'm going to school for graphic design. I won some awards in a statewide convention for high school newspapers for some of my art. I thought I was going to be a sportswriter when I was a sophomore in high school, but I am way too biased. I scored 99/100 on my college placement test for writing but there's much more to it than just a test score.
I have no experience, no qualifications and I'm pretty young to have a serious job like that. I'm just a poster on here.
Besides, I rather be hated for I am than liked for who I'm not.
until that last sentence:
"Besides, I rather be hated for I am than liked for who I'm not." You should have proofread that before hitting the 'save' button.
Even though you omitted a word or two, I am impressed with your self-assessment of what is more important, being true to yourself vs. putting on a front (in an effort to achieve popularity).
Question: What exactly do you like about Michigan?
Everything.
The history, the experience, the united feeling of going to games and having 110,000+ people around you that love Michigan.
I express myself through my fandom, art and appearance.
Some of my earliest memories are watching Michigan games with family.
What good is enjoying the history of the program if it's constantly changing, though? Doesn't Michigan lose some of its claim to history and uniqueness if we're always trying to be like other teams? To me, getting excited about doing what's "all the rage nowadays" is the exact opposite of liking the history.

I'd rather not be like Penn State or Alabama they just strike me as incredibly boring.
You're right winning sucks, wouldn't want to be Alabama.

A change in the uniform is history. Michigan has a long history of uniform changes. Whether they be in material, design or a small tweak. It's only recently where the major one game changes have happened.
The fact that they wear them once makes it even more a piece of history.
Baaaaaaaa
I don't call out people a whole lot but god damnit boy.. You are whats wrong with college football. People like you keep Dave Brandon saying "see they like it!" MORE! MOOORRRRREEE!!!
that is the wrong answer, the MGOBLOG intelligensia has spoken on this matter.
There is absolutely no way you are a real person.
One of a kind.
(I just got these recently for my birthday. No, I am not that guy who wears the receiver gloves for tailgating and whatever other activity. They're for display only. All of my gloves are. I just took this to show my lady friend what I bought that day.)
Given that you buy mass market garbage; you can't really be "one of a kind". Second, does your lady friend live in the Niagra Falls area?
Canada. But her last name is Hawaiian. Or something weird like that.
You appear to have the investment insight and creepy hoarder mentality of an old lady who collects decorative plates. Not exactly something you want to show off to the ladies.
.... and then she had "something suddenly come up"?
Nope. I'm taking her to a game in November.
but i don't hate these
I dont mind the numbers, but the striped sleeves just look terrible. I remember thinking the same with the original UTL jerseys, but they looked much better on pads.
I thought, was horrid. At least these stripes are subtle.
I actually wish Michigan would stay with the basic uniform they've had since the 1950s and much like PSU and 'Bama, leave it alone. I've accepted that it isn't to be so I see this particular jersey as non-traditional, but not "in your face" non-traditional.
I think they look nice. I like the dark stripes, more understated...
We'll be seen as absolute innovators as random ass dark stripes cross our "Iconic" jerseys. Who needs tradition when you can tweak something that's already perfect and synergize it to create additional cash flow resources that can spearhead additional development. This takes advantage of the Michigan Knowledge Base in order to stretch the envelope regarding our team dynamics.
But seriously, the only reason the AD does this is to make money. If people stop buying 1-off jerseys (which... isn't the Michigan home jersey perfect? Get one of those!) they'll stop making them
Better than, oh, I don't know, the jersey Michigan has worn for about 60 years? Doubtful.
They could look like Christmas ornaments
