2015 adidas gear: no more highlighter Maize?
So, the 2015 gear is starting to trickle out on MDen.
Kind of interesting that adidas is changing over to the Nike Maize color, it appears. But then you have other new gear that isn't original Maize.
As for most of the gear designs: oy. I hope it gets better this fall.
The Harbaugh shirt isn't up for sale on the site yet, but when it is, the credit card comes out. Also not up yet is that pair of shorts in this photo-

You know you're capable of supporting Michigan without being draped in apparel, right? I think I own only one baseball hat.

That pinstripe hate is really ugly
Haha. I'm just really passionate about equality for pinstripes.

person on MGoBlog that likes the brighter shade of "maize"...which is strange because I'm 53 so you'd think I would be more of a traditionalist. I thought it looked amazing UTL though.

Make the M on the hat smaller and I'll buy one. Adidas is notoriosly bad with proportions. The New Era hat is perfect.
Those argyles are gonna happen.
Yeah, but I think they would limit the options for shoes if you're going to coordinate for work or something like that. Maybe a medium brown, but I can't see them with black. Either way, I am pretty sure they are something that my wife would make mysteriously disappear in a purge for Salvation Army items if I did indeed purchase them, and perhaps rightly so.
That's horrible. Looks like someone screwed up and was just like 'ehhh, leave it or we'll miss the due deadline'.

Apparently Adidas laid off anyone on their staff with an understanding of what looks good. That polo makes Baby Jesus cry.
WD, what Harbaugh shirt are you referrencing? I usually buy the sideline shirt every year. Unless I see this in person and it shocks me that thing should be lit on fire.

I think grey belongs on another school's fan gear. And the pinstripe hat reminds me of the Yankees.
Those shorts are quite possibly the worst thing I've ever seen.
Good God, addidas makes some ugly shit. The worst. Please bring back Nike M gear.
I love my ultimate tech fleece crew neck. And Harbaugh does too. Even better is the price I paid.
Upon further review I actually don't like any of it, except the socks.

they should just go all the way and make the cumberbund part flesh-colored and then put a hairy ass-crack on the rear.
So, in the pictures themselves there is about 4 shades of yellow. How is that evidence that adidas is changing the color? Do you have evidence? Or did you just use a polarizing headline to get click? You should work at MLive.
The fucking '90s called and they want their clothes back. Jesus.
Are you saying my man-b00bs aren't badass?

Two or three years ago, the University had an official committee to develop a campus-wide brand in preparation for the new Capital Campaign. Part of this was to have a university-wide agreement on exactly what shade of yellow "maize" was. Athletics was part of this negotiation. It was determined that THESE were the "maize" and "blue" colors of Michigan. http://vpcomm.umich.edu/brand/style-guide/design-principles/colors
Units have been given a period of time to phase in the new colors. Moving forward you should see much less variation in the color "maize".

Shoot me now, but I actually don't care much for the color maize in the first place... I love that our colors are called Maize & Blue and everyone knows it, I love Maize Outs in the stadium, I love the block M, I love the maize bball uniforms, but every other application of the color Maize looks pretty garish in my opinion.
When you actually walk through campus, there is basically nothing that reminds of you of the color Maize. Even most of the building signs are just blue with white lettering. To me, unless it's a muted, deeper marigold-ish hue, "maize" doesn't jive at all with an upscale, semi-private, historical, elite academic university that Michigan is. The same way purple makes Northwestern seem childish and less legit to me.
Heretic!
