White pants for road games permanently: your thoughts?

Was not a fan at first. Warmed up to them. There's some history behind. They have a cool old school look. Harbaugh likes them. Sold.

Fine with it but would still like to see white with maize pants every now and then.

Also, looking at that 2 on that jersey, the new 2 looks cooler.

Good. Was in SLC last year and liked them from start.

I like them both. Maybe half the road games maize and the other half white.

Besides, the stripes show our maize and blue colors. A white jersey with maize pants always seemed to signify to me that our colors were maize and white. Just my lame perception. I'll show myself out.

I was really hoping they would stick with the all white road look. It looks really sharp.

Not sure about you all, but I like yoga the pants the best. Just not on Alex Mitchell.

Love it. Very clean look. Was at the Maryland game last year and loved the way they looked in person.

Just win!!

they start playing football and we get past the MGoBravo! turn the site has taken.

I don't care. Just freaking win.

The Yellow pants are what I knew as a student and alum until last year. I'll miss them and the block M on the hip that brought us glory in 97/98.

KBLOW likey. 

Love it. The maize pants always looked weird to me with the white jersey. I actually used to pine for blue pants wth the white jersey for the road uniform. But now I love the whites. Fantastic.

They're not awful, but I don't really like the white pants. Also, I'm not sure throwing back to 1974 & 1975 is the best choice, since both years Michigan lost to OSU and finished second in the conference.

Prefer maize, but white's cool.  Just a bit disappointed not to have maize with white at all.

I would love the white pants to become permanent. I thought the white pants looked dumb the first time I saw them but I love them after last season. Maybe that is because last season was awesome minus a few moments I wish I could forget.

but I do like the all white for a while. I like the fact that we have fresh tweaks on our uni and still be part of UM tradition.

I liked them last year... The change fit, new coaching, new work ethic, new identity... Now I'm ready for some yellow pants, maybe blue. Keep them rotating. The new helmets with some blue pants would look solid.

Prefer traditional maize pants that's what I grew up with but the white unis grew on me for sure.  Almost looked NFL!

I miss maize but who am I to question. If we win on the road, I'm okay with whatever we wear.

I know WD gets a lot of crap. I know I have recently complained about the numerous apparel threads over the last 48 hours. do we really need this? the pants have been covered in at least 3 other topics plus the Harbaugh quote is on the front page for crying out loud. I'm sorry, this just needs to be reigned in a little. can we limit everything to a single daily circle jerk thread for those interested about what will be on page 28 of the men catalog vs. page 27.

The all-whites look good up close, but the combination of white with thin blue and yellow stripes looks dingy from a distance / on TV.

Go back and look at the Florida game UFR videos.  The up-close shots look good.  The distant ones look like dirty laundry.

White with a little bit of yellow in it does not look good from a distance.

For a long time I was all about bringing back the white pants. Now that I've seen them on the field, I'm still all about the white pants. Think they look great, given that it's pretty much a note-for-note throwback uniform from a pretty damn successful string of teams in the 1970s. Great work all around, love that Harbaugh has this kind of respect for the program's history.

love it.

Maize is much better, but I don't get a vote so whatever.

Maize pants look great and have been worn my entire life. All white with the stripe on the side looks dated (like the decade it comes from). It also doesn't fit that well with the hyper modern helmet, jersey, shoes etc that were just rolled out. The stripe on the side is exactly what the leftover track pants had in the 70s and mid 80s. In other words I respectfully disagree with Coach Harbaugh. Just win baby. (All all will be forgiven)

Huge fan of the white pants. They look very sharp and clean. The white pants should be here to stay for all road games.

They're just pants. 

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME

Maize is definitely better. 

 

White is an MSU color not a Michigan one. 

 

But it's not really a big deal. 

/discuss

Maize for every game except 2. One home game wear blue pants, and one away game wear white pants

I didn't think I would like it, but I do. Would like to see blue pants, as well.

But, respectfully, I believe he is completely wrong on this one. 

There's nothing wrong with the all-whites.  They're fine.  But the maize pants are classic.  The whites aren't a "throwback" to anything, despite what some people seem to think.  They were an alternate for a little while in the 70s- that's not the same thing. 

I'm fine with the whites for a while or every so often, but I don't want them to be permanent.  It's maize and blue dammit, not 90% bleach with accents.
