New Michigan Basketball Jerseys
Since it seems no one has posted this, here are some pics of the new Michigan basketball uniforms.
And full shot
I like them, but then again, there is maize piping on the shorts and I know how some people here feel about that. Also, on the back of the jersey, there is a blue inset at the neck with a block M
Enjoy!

At the exhibition game on Friday, Joe Stapleton (of the Daily/UMHoops) and I discussed them at length when there wasn't a whole lot of action happening on the court. I think we agreed that we don't like them - and the names on the back are waaaaaay too small.

Herb Brooks: When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of alot more important than the one on the back! Get that through your head!

according to Mike Eruzione:
Herb Brooks walks into the US lockerroom during the 2nd intermission of the gold medal game against Finlad and says "If you lose this game, you'll take it to your fucking graves." He then walks towards the door, turns around and reiterates, "Your fucking graves!" before walking out.

GO BACK TO NIKE.

I'm a fan of beauty in simplicity and these are close. I would like the Michigan on the front to be a bit bigger, but the piping and neck accents look good.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
I wonder what the alternate colorways look like.
November 9th, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
The only thing that I don't like is the blue on the collar. More so the shape not the blue itself. The rest of the uni looks good though.
November 9th, 2010 at 4:27 PM ^
The blue on the collar is the best part, imo
November 9th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Make the block M on the shorts HUGE like the fab 5 Days. Everyone in Jr. High had those things, classic!
November 9th, 2010 at 12:16 PM ^
those were awesome.
November 9th, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^
I still have my old shorts from the fab five days .....classics never die
November 9th, 2010 at 8:44 PM ^
With black socks. Should be a permanent part of our basketball uniforms.
November 10th, 2010 at 2:27 AM ^
heck yeah always wore my yellow shorts and my navy Maceo Baston jersey to like all my ejr high summer bball practices
November 9th, 2010 at 12:15 PM ^
The uni's look good but I still don't understand why they won't bring back the fab five style shorts with the big block M on the side. Those were awesome. Would probably sell a lot better than these
November 9th, 2010 at 12:16 PM ^
True. I have been disappointed in the quality of the Michigan bball jerseys for sale. I still rock my Nike ones b/c I think the quality and look is much better.

Because adidas sucks ass, that's why.
November 11th, 2010 at 1:58 PM ^
Adidas just copied the template Nike used. It was Nike who introduced the miniature M's on the shorts, in 2002.
I agree with most everyone so far. If they still wore and sold the fab five-era shorts, I'd buy a pair in a heartbeat.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:27 PM ^
I was only able to watch a small portion of the exhibition game, but I thought the jerseys looked pretty good. It's good that they kept them simple. I just want to see what the home and maize jerseys look like. The guys in the jerseys weren't looking too great, but I'm going to ignore it since this wasn't a real game.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
Calling this an improvement - looks good - more "current"
November 9th, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
The numbers are way too big, and 'MICHIGAN' is not nearly big enough. It looks like the number is being emphasized over the school name.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
Not a fan. Miss our classic look. And the M on the shorts has been too small for, oh, about 10 years now.
November 9th, 2010 at 2:47 PM ^
Unless you're talking about the Bill Frieder-era jerseys, this basically is our classic look.
I agree about the M's on the shorts, though.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
It's all about the piping.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:47 PM ^
Is terrible.
November 9th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
they might have tried some crap like this:
November 9th, 2010 at 1:53 PM ^
ugly as heck in the uniform department.
November 9th, 2010 at 4:45 PM ^
We could have told them NO like PSU did.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
to Oregon.
Never buy anything Nike, unless you want a piece of your hard earned dollars supporting the Oregon Ducks.

I'm a big fan of the student section shirts. I feel like they finally got it right: simple, classy, sleek. Most student section shirts are too busy, contain some sort of slogan that takes away from the main point (i.e. Michigan, Wolverines, the sport for that particular shirt, etc), or are just ugly in general. I would actually want to wear these shirts outside of a game or the gym, for once.
November 9th, 2010 at 1:23 PM ^
if they did away with the blue insets around the neck, I would like them. They are very similar to the hockey home "Red Berenson" jerseys.
November 9th, 2010 at 1:37 PM ^
Classic Style with modern well fitting V-neck
The new ones are an improvement from the stretched scoop neck look we've had the past few years. They have an awkwardly looking neck that seems to be too big.
November 9th, 2010 at 2:32 PM ^
I absolutely loved the 20th anniversary edition update of the 89 Championship uni. Lets bring those back.
November 9th, 2010 at 2:44 PM ^
So the NCAA now allows the brand name to be on the jersey top? Ugh.
BTW, what is that little blue logo on the players' left shoulder?
November 9th, 2010 at 4:40 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
Change for the sake of change.
November 9th, 2010 at 4:08 PM ^
I actually really like them, I don't think they needed to be changed, the older ones were nice, but I like these a lot.
November 9th, 2010 at 4:09 PM ^
Last years jerseys and the previous years I was not a fan of.....these new ones are sharp, but still keep to our tradition.
November 9th, 2010 at 4:25 PM ^
I believe that's Lloyd Brady just over Morgan's right shoulder in the bottom picture. Before you ask, I know because I was sitting close to him. He truly is everywhere.

They need to go back to retro jerseys
the 89 jerseys are the best basketball jerseys we ever had !
