Came across this on twitter. Interesting concept.

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.

...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?

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.

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.

Something's wrong with you.

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.

Disguisting and gross. No thanks.

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.

So they also discovered how to make people invisible, cool beans!

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

Presumably he also meant "too".

Except, I won't.
