Full live view of new Nike gear
I'm clearly spending way too much time reading gear threads, because today I realized as I was driving past the stadium that the font used for many of the ads on the jumbotron use the new font.
Feel like this should just be the open thread for the entire night instead of having 10 different posts about the same topic.
My fellow MgoBloggers, our long national nightmare is over. There were shirts that said Michigan Football that had a swoosh instead of the jumpman available for purchase.
Your lawns shall remain intact.
I was thinking the same thing. Plenty of good looking gear with simply the swoosh.
Now, please excuse me. I have to extinguish my torch and put the pitchfork back in the garage.
So they're open before midnight?

They let media in early
From what I gathered from one of the videos is that a certain number of people got in early. Not sure about the specifics on it, though.
This is a bad time to be broke.

As opposed to?
Yesterday
too soon?
Come tomorrow, we'll all be broke with you!
All of it looks great! The maize looks just right. Not completely mustard or highlighter yellow. Bravo Nike/Jordan! Bravo!
Agreed. The maize is perfect. Gorgeous.
For the person that did the video or was there, is all the "maize" the same color? The lighting shifts a lot in the video so it makes it look like we still can't match the colors. But that may just be the video. Is the maize finally all the same color, whatever that color is?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we got Nike. And the colors are on. But some of those shirts kinda' have the WalMart thing going on, if you know what I mean.
Suppose they'll get a little fresher over time.
No, I don't know what you mean
Mass produced in third world country by kids in a sweat shop? I think your spot on.
His spot on what?

a Koala, huh?
Damn. We're all gonna look like idiot Walverines. Thanks a lot Obama- I mean, Jordan....
I watched Sam's Periscope feed for a while and the gear looks pretty solid.
I'd spend about $200-$300 based on what they showed ...maybe a jersey later. Some stuff just tshirts and I have plenty of them, mostly from MGoStore.

Kinda pissed right now. I'm in Texas and thought this whole time I would be able to buy some gear at 11:00 my time, the same time as everyone on eastern time, but MDen.com is telling me right now I have to wait 2 hrs 15 min to buy. Surely there should be a way around this. Anyone?

Leave now and drive 800 mph east until you get to Georgia?
Unless you aren't a real fan.
Lol. Sounds like a solid plan, except I'm pretty sure it will take more than the extra hour to drive 800 miles. I figured out a way around the problem, thanks for the sarcasm.

He recommended driving at 800 mph, so I think the hour calculation is pretty solid.
Is always free around here. No need to thank anyone.

What about snark? Is that free,too?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:16 AM ^
That'll be about tree fiddy.
How much for 1 snark?
Try changing the time zone on your computer to eastern time.
I see some highlighter yellow. Or are my eyes deceiving me?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Those old fashioned highlighters that were actually yellow.
I didn't see anything in that video that resembled highlighter yellow or the mustard crap we had last year.
Can someone please remind me how we ended up with adidas? I suspect it was money, but was it DB's call?
The years of purgatory we've lived through make today worth it. The combination of Harbaugh + Nike hype, no matter how you feel about either one, is literally priceless. Probably not going to win the natty this year but god damn it we're going to spank sparty

Bill Martin signed the Adidas contract. At the time, it was an unprecendetedly rich deal with a most favored nations clause, so it wasn't too ridiculous. Obviously history won't smile upon the decision, though.
We're going to win the natty and spank sparty.
You can't have one without the other.
Which I always thought was a bad move more because I have always prefer Nike over Adidas. Really Michigan was only thing I ever bought from Adidas other than NBA jerseys and few wind pants etc.
The U of M Athletics page has also posted a pretty lengthy video of a lot of the stuff along with some other videos. The M Football page also just posted a pretty awesome rendition of Hail to the Victors led by none other than Coach Harbaugh.
And then he introduced the actual band and the crowd is cheering and he said the word "championships" and there's maize and blue everywhere and oh man it's still five weeks awaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy
I'm ready for football RIGHT NOW.
Gotta second the "Wal-Mart" vibe to a lot of the gear.
Definitely saw some awesome gear that I think Nike improved upon. But there's also a couple cheap looking items, which I was hoping would go away with Adidas.
Come next weekend not spend it all on Michigan gear but a lot of it going to be Michigan.
Winner seems to be that zip-up sweatshirt/track jacket with the white zippers. Looks awesome.
Everything else, I dunno. The Nike stuff seems OK, but almost across the board, the Jumpman stuff looks pretty cheesy.
Feels too much like what OSU did with the "Ohio against the world" thing. Other than that, most of the gear was solid other than the few that featured way too much maize/amarillo. Reminds me of safety clothing
