Maize Uniformz Mock-Up
Came across this on twitter. Interesting concept.

Ok probably gonna be the only one here but I actually like this.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:53 PM ^
These are dope.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:08 PM ^
checks out.
Make the jerseys blue and I'd be all for it. :)
Seriously, it wouldn't be my first choice (as it reminds me too much of West Virginia, which I'd admit is an emotional response rather than a reasoned one), but it wouldn't be my last, either. (That, of course, would be some combo of maize and white.)
but what separates them is the winged shoulders, I like them a lot and would be an awesome road uni.
Then let's schedule another Thursday night game with East Carolina.

I only regret that I have but one neg to give.
Other Than being created by an OSU fan, I like these...

You serious, Clark?

These uniforms suck.
God damn West Virginia looking bullshit.
...we'll be expected to change our catch phrase to "Go Maize." IMHO in recent years the whole maize thing is detracting from the concept of "Go Blue." I feel like M is suffering from duo-color personality disorder.
Is maize to be considered the accent color or should it be allowed to become the dominant? I prefer it to be an accent color only.
I say all of this with the full realization that maize is a dominant color, while dark blue is a recessive one. The eye is attracted to maize before blue.
But, then again, what the hell do I know?
We have more than one color. Just because we say go blue doesn't mean we shouldn't use maize as the main color for the stadium. I don't understand why it's such a problem for some people, West Virginia and Iowa regularly execute gold outs and Penn State has their famous white outs, but we can't have a maize out?
I actually have heard "go maize" before at an alumni meet up for new students way back when I was first admitted to ls&a.

Didn't look good when Cal and WVU did it either.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:11 PM ^
Yellow on yellow always sounds better than it actually winds up looking.
You think you are going to get a look that's the Fab Five on grass, but instead you get Big Bird.
When they try to make the shirt look like the helmet.
Please no...don't get cute with the helmet (try to tie it in somewhere other than the helmet..even if they mess with the color/alt uniforms...
August 7th, 2017 at 10:50 PM ^
Where can I cop the floating gloves?
What color are the socks?

"As a Buckeye fan, I'd like to think I have a healthy mix of hatred and respect for the Michigan football program."
Sorry but after reading that I kinda new where this heading. Not a fan.
Let's check in with Admiral Ackbar:

I hate them because I'm supposed to hate them.
...but inside, I don't actually hate them.
Edit: Not a huge fan of the maize stitching on the blue. The rest is fine...I mean, I hate it. Bad, bad, bad!
yeah, i don't hate it as much as i expected to at the simple mention of the idea.
August 8th, 2017 at 10:32 AM ^
Something's wrong with you.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:51 PM ^
Separate of the fact that I never want us to wear alternate uniforms again for the rest of time, this is an interesting concept that the author seems to have worked very hard on.
However, I don't know that the concept looks good when actually created. The winged helmet shoulders sound cool in theory but look kind of unnatural in practice. It'd be interesting to see on another team though. Maybe when we officially conquer and annex Rutgers we can make them wear these.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
But if we wore maize on maize (or these) in a Spring Game and actually made it Maize vs. Blue...I wouldn't have a meltdown.
If QB's wore these in practice, I'd live.
Hell, I may even enjoy either of those scenarios assuming the team was playing well and Harbaugh was the coach...because those things are far superior.
But if they ever wore these in a game, including a bowl game. I'd be right next to Bando holding the duct tape over WD's mouth while we charged the field in protest.
Conquering Rutgers I can see. Pretty easily.
Annexing Rutgers? Have you lost your damn mind? On a good day we might allow them to be a tributary state.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:04 PM ^
We should not be known for the winged shoulder pads.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:55 PM ^
Disguisting and gross. No thanks.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:55 PM ^
But NO.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:58 PM ^
I assumed that I was going to hate this, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would be interested to see the back of the jersey. Still I hope Michigan doesn’t wear these.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
Fuck this, burn it with fire, burn your eyes with fire if you think it's a good idea, burn your whole body with fire and you should feel bad that it would me happy to watch you burn in fire because I'm a nice guy.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:07 PM ^
Correct.
August 7th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
So they also discovered how to make people invisible, cool beans!
Jeremy Gallon says hi!
August 7th, 2017 at 11:01 PM ^
No thanks
August 7th, 2017 at 11:07 PM ^
Yuck
August 7th, 2017 at 11:08 PM ^
Well it doesn't surprise me, anyone suggesting all maize uniforms SHOULD be in lock-up. Oh, mock-up...my bad.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:12 PM ^
It's the best possible rendering of a fatally off-base idea.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:17 PM ^
I was prepared to hate it out of principle but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. I dig the winged shoulders, though I'd also like to see what the back of the jersey looks like.
I also like how the maize bumper on the helmet blends in to the wings. It's so much better than the old white design.
im curious too. is it blue with 3 yellow stripes like the helmet? how does the number fit in with all that. or is it also maize? how the back looks is kind of important when giving an opinion on whether something is 'good' or not. absent that, the safe bet is to just go with the normal unis and call everythign else crap
August 7th, 2017 at 11:21 PM ^
Turning gold into garbage.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:21 PM ^
Like them or not people just need to except that this is going to happen. To much get off my lawn going on.
August 7th, 2017 at 11:26 PM ^
(said as a whistling sound squeeks out the holes in my dentures)

Dave Brandon's account
Did you mean "accept"?
Presumably he also meant "too".
August 8th, 2017 at 10:36 AM ^
Except, I won't.
