So....trying to stir up a hornet's nest, are we?
September 28th, 2010 at 1:39 AM ^
I just don't want us wearing maize on maize with white on blue! That's the last thing I want to see them wear against anybody.
September 28th, 2010 at 1:41 AM ^
*Officially jumps on point threshold raise for creating new threads bandwagon*
September 28th, 2010 at 1:46 AM ^
Yeah that sure looks official if you ask me.
September 28th, 2010 at 1:51 AM ^
I wouldn't mind blue or white pant variations.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:20 AM ^
Blue pants with are road uniforms aren't that bad, but no blue on blue home uniforms.
September 28th, 2010 at 1:51 AM ^
If it's on the interwebs, then it must be true.
September 28th, 2010 at 1:58 AM ^
If the OP really is asking an honest question, then I would kindly direct him to the very first comment posted under the video on youtube.
September 28th, 2010 at 8:46 AM ^
sanity prevails.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:15 AM ^
Good lord, you know we're plumbing the miserable depths when a Youtube comment injects some sanity into the debate.
September 28th, 2010 at 2:00 AM ^
I remember someone drawing those after white pant gate last year.
September 28th, 2010 at 2:00 AM ^
Its not official until its a Lil Wayne song in the background. T.I is a no go.
September 28th, 2010 at 2:15 AM ^
September 28th, 2010 at 2:36 AM ^
Not enough Maize.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:54 AM ^
September 28th, 2010 at 8:12 AM ^
Zubaz pants would complement it nicely.
September 28th, 2010 at 2:22 AM ^
but I know Roundtree's (public!) twitter said that he wants an alternate jersey to change things up, citing the fact that he wears the exact same jersey his dad wore. he said we can still maintain the tradition of winning at Michigan and still "update" our uniforms.
just an FYI -- interesting perspective from a player. wonder if it is more widely shared around the team.
September 28th, 2010 at 2:35 AM ^
It was willfolk's twitter not roundtree's
September 28th, 2010 at 2:37 AM ^
Where there's a Willfolk, there's a Wayfolk.
but not a Woolfolk.
September 28th, 2010 at 3:12 AM ^
Well done
September 28th, 2010 at 7:58 AM ^
September 28th, 2010 at 9:01 AM ^
ever a Woolfork.
Unless the announcers haven't paid attention to their roster sheets, like usual.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:08 AM ^
What about a Willfork?
September 28th, 2010 at 2:32 AM ^
According to this article, it appears Michigan's new jerseys are, in fact, Red Wings jerseys: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-t25-michigan-robinson (note inset photo)
In other news, apparently Denard Robinson sometimes plays hockey under his Finnish pseudonym, "Valtteri Filppula".
September 28th, 2010 at 3:47 AM ^
They even screwed up the caption on that photo it says "Illari Filpula" instead of "Valteri". Illari is Val's older brother who plays for the Griffins.
September 28th, 2010 at 4:24 AM ^
That is Illari. It's the preseason; he's not on the Griffins yet.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:15 AM ^
Except, the video is clear that it is just his own fantasy and it is not real.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:21 AM ^
night gamesz with RAWK muisk PLZ
September 28th, 2010 at 8:37 AM ^
Because that video looks SO VERY professional. Besides, isn't "The Mike95" the president of adidas??
September 28th, 2010 at 7:20 AM ^
would really help our road uni's, which I have always thought are lame.
Maize with blue pant would be interesting for the road also. Keep the blue at home.
September 28th, 2010 at 8:28 AM ^
the all whites of MSU PSU and Texas always look good, but I think the yellow pants are iconic
I would not mind seeing these uni's in the spring game or practice if they want to sell a few more items to help offset some costs
or if addidas gave some cash to the general scholarship fund
September 28th, 2010 at 8:36 AM ^
this is the right team for you? Maybe you should be an Oregon fan, or Miami-- After all, they have 'Pro Combat' Nike gear. That might be the kind of team you're looking for...?
September 28th, 2010 at 9:43 AM ^
Years earlier, Kellen Winslow offended people by making those stupid comments about being a "fucking soldier," and then 7 years later Nike dresses up the Hurricanes in its Pro Combat unis. I'm not offended nor do I really care; I just find some irony in that.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:44 AM ^
My lord please noooo....Call mea purist but I would leave the best uniform in sports as is...
September 28th, 2010 at 7:55 AM ^
HEY, now we all know the moon is not made of green cheese.
Yes, that's true Harry.
But what if it where made of barbecue spare ribs? Would you eat it then?
What?
I know I would. Heck, I'd have seconds. And then polish it off with a tall cool budweiser.
September 28th, 2010 at 8:22 AM ^
These are clearly the players' pj's the night before the game.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:51 AM ^
Psh. They all wear Denard Robinson pajamas. They even have footies with the laces untied.
/patented
September 28th, 2010 at 9:12 AM ^
Michigan will NEVER, ever change their home jersey/pants.
Michigan will NEVER have maize colored jerseys as the base color.
Michigan could, however change the road unis to white jersey/blue pants, but that would be about it......
September 28th, 2010 at 9:24 AM ^
Michigan is going to change uniform 5 times like a Barbie fashion show: A new uniform set for each quarter of the game, plus a special presentation pirouette at halftime for uniform change no. 3.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:16 AM ^
You see how fast they changed Avery's jersey Saturday? It's highly possible they can do it...or not.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:36 AM ^
I always knew the_big_house 500th was a little off, I mean he did threaten to fight me, david from wyoming and several others, but this takes the cake. I had no idea he was this delusional.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:41 AM ^
Damn, big house 500th, not even waiting for Red Wings playoff season to meltdown this time? As soon as you got back to 20 points you decided to lose them all again, good job sir.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:59 AM ^
No tufts of wolverine fur on the shoulder pads?
These are SOOOOOOO two thousand and LATE.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:09 AM ^
First, I don't particularly like the uniforms from the Youtube video. And I definitely don't like the weird uniforms at Oregon, etc.
But, this does not mean I am opposed to change in general, and change in uniforms, in particular. Things change, and that's ok. Sometimes even good. I think tOSU's current uniforms look better than their throwbacks. The Chicago Bears wore throwback uniforms last night, did nothing for me, pretty meh. And it wouldn't hurt Penn State to change, tho they never will. Maybe UofM can make some changes too.
The analogy is our stadium, our beloved "Big House." Change was painful, hard, and made some of us nervous. A few said that change would "ruin" the stadium. But we were way behind the times, and the change ended up being a great thing.
The stadium change is a template for future uniform change. Always stay classy, always do things the right way, don't just follow the crowd, strive to be the leaders and best. What this means, I don't know exactly. How this will play out is anyone's guess. But we can't stay the same forever.
Here's a different suggestion: maybe we could actually have "maize and blue" uniforms sometime. The official colors are not our uniform colors. To have UofM maize and blue instead of the navy and gold used by the football team would be a unique and different change that could be very interesting.
Edit: I don't know why the photo pasted in doesn't show. It was cut from a link at UofM on our official colors: http://www.ns.umich.edu/MT/96/Fall96/mta13f96.html
September 28th, 2010 at 10:14 AM ^
The worst part of those uniforms are not the maize jerseys, but the two-piece NFL-style blue and white socks ... they can make just about any uniform design look bad.
Purely from a design standpoint, I could live with just about any of those uniforms except for the 'maize outs' .... those things are to uniforms what Boise's turf is to football fields.
I especially like the all whites, which harken back to the early-70's era Bo teams. I also like the contrast the blue pants provide to the white jersey in the 4th design. To be honest, I don't even mind the look of the maize jersey with the blue pants ... reminds me of my favorite look for the hockey team.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:16 AM ^
In the politest way possible "kill yoself". We have the best uniforms in sports no need to go out there in all maize uniforms, but i am not opposed to wearing blue pants every now and then on the road.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:17 AM ^
I would love to see a maize jersey. I am not saying we need 300 alternates like Oregon but I would like to see a maize jersey either on the road or at home. There are some "traditions" that should be kept eternally but there also needs to be change to instill new traditions. This isn't your Dad's Michigan team anymore. Accept that fact and get over it. I bet the same people that don't want a maize jersey also don't want a night game! $1.8 million says you will have more than 1 night game in our future.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:19 AM ^
This was a tweet from last week:
@TWoolf29 (Troy Woolfolk): I'm starting a petition for us to get new uniforms, I'm wearing the same dang jersey as my dad. … (cont.) As long as we keep the tradition of winning then we good. Don't you want to see something different, let's spice up the jersey a little bit.
Personally, I really hope they keep our home unis the same, but I wouldn't be opposed to an alternate jersey combo of some kind for the away jerseys. Just no maize - our QBs practice jerseys, although they look like mustard yellow, look horrible.
