Hint of a surprise change in uniforms coming this week?? Thoughts?

Least it's not adidas making them. I'm sure nike will do a better job.

Guys, we're going to playing on grass for the first time this season so OF COURSE the shoes are going to be different. That's a shoe box in the pic. This will be the team's first time wearing Nike/Jordan grass cleats in a game. Calm the F down about UNIFORMZ.

Remember when teams had two uniforms and shoes weren't something people lined up around the block to buy just to keep in a box?
In other words, I don't get it.

Meanwhile, Bartles & Jaymes would like to thank you for your support.
I have to think it isn't anything near 2011 on what I like to call the "Bumblebee Scale of Uniforms", and I believe I heard that it is just shoes and then perhaps only because we're playing on grass this time.
I really just want to make Spartan fans sad.

'97 Throwbacks maybe? They also tweeted "Buckle Up" and a picture of Woodson a couple days ago...
October 25th, 2016 at 4:10 PM ^
...in which he's wearing a home uniform...
"Buckle up" probably just means it's a rivalry week. The whole "tighten your chinstrap a little tighter" deal.
In other words... Twitter illuminati.

what shoe looks best with trash on the field?
October 25th, 2016 at 4:04 PM ^
Not a chance. Michigan doesn't need special uniforms to win against Michigan State. Plus, a shoebox probably means shoes, and I believe they would need alternate shoes to play on grass. The athletic department won't be doing any skywriting, either, FWIW.
October 25th, 2016 at 4:27 PM ^
I forgot all about the skywriting incident. Wow, memories of Dave Brandon CAN get worse.

Penn State had fireworks at their White Out vs. Ohio State. Seems like it was a major factor in the victory. The Regents would certainly let Harbaugh do fireworks.

I agree that this is probably some new type of shoe, but this is just a fashion thing. You don't need different shoes when you go from FieldTurf to grass. Possibly a different length of cleat (depending on how long the grass is), but that's it.

I'm sure I'm just not getting it but what's the significance of that picture?

Maybe this was taken after his original one tore away, and they had to bring him a replacement. Although the uniforms still look fresh and clean, so who knows.
October 25th, 2016 at 6:25 PM ^
AC's tearaway jerseys were always slightly different from the other jerseys--no stripes, no nameplate, sometims no TV numbers on the sleeves. They were just basic, one-color jerseys Russell Athletic slapped a number onto and sent to Michigan in bulk.

The only acceptable (I use that term loosely) change would be what they wore in '97 beacuse... undefeated with a really good defense wearing Nike again.

The road uni's are sharp as they are--no change needed, including shoes. Howeva, cleats are a different matter altogether. Gotta match the surface which can be more complicated than it seems. After McCaffery ran all around and through Iowa in the Rose Bowl some Hawkeye fans actually blamed it on having the wrong cleats.

I do miss the amarillo pantalones on the away unis.
October 25th, 2016 at 7:24 PM ^
That is a Jordan 4 shoe box so it is most likely a PE (player exclusive or team for this matter) version of the shoe. So nothing to the uniform

Are we still blaming Brandon?

Maize pants, please.
Never liked numbers on the side of the helmet, so I hope it's not that.
October 25th, 2016 at 9:31 PM ^
ARE THEY BRINGING BACK THE MAIZE PANTS?
October 26th, 2016 at 12:26 AM ^
for a grass surface, nothing more
October 26th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
PLEASE!
