Did you like the jerseys?

They may have looked good in person, but on TV, the shiny stripes and the regular blue sort of collided as the players moved around to give the jerseys a dingy grayish-blue effect.
They did not look as good on TV at night under artificial lighting as they did in the pictures that I've seen of them.
Would be interesting to see what the look would be with the blue pants and the regular blue jersey.

I kept thinking there were flags thrown when there wasn't. Overall, I didn't care for the uniforms much at all and don't believe we should aspire to become Oregon, etc.. Of course I was born in the last century as well.

the MAIZE shoes were outstanding! I kept thinking I saw flags on the turf - but in person they were awesome! As said above I think I would have liked the normal jersey with the blue pants better. Also the "9's" on the jerseys looked very much like an "8" ....
Go Blue!

(from row 78) a '6' which looked like a '0'.
Even the PA announcer struggled with the hard-to-read jersey #'s, as did Brandstatter and Dierdorf on the radio. Let's not see these jerseys on our field again!

I didn't care for the darkening on the number, but otherwise I liked the unis.

but, that was one of the better alternates we've had, in my opinion. I would have prefered it without the stripes on the numbers or the slick stripes on the shoulders.
Other than that, though, all blues with maize shoes and Michigan's normal helmet didn't look all that bad.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
Ditto. I don't mind rolling out the Blue on Blue look every now and then, I thought it looked pretty slick.
I did not like the stripes on the numbers. Didn't particularly care for the stripes on the soulders either, but I can live with them. A cooler look on the shoulders might have been a faint also Blue block M.
I actually liked the Outback Bowl alternates. The just needed some blue piping around the numbers and letters so you could tell who the hell is on the field right now.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:43 PM ^
I really liked the matte finish Michigan helmets that Michigan wore in the Outback bowl.
Changing the gloss level is probably the only helmet related alternate change that I would actually find pleasant, though.

October 12th, 2014 at 5:44 PM ^
Agreed, the Outback jerseys with better contrast on the numbers (or with blue numbers with a maize outline instead of the other way around) is a great look that is good enough to be our standard away uni.
Loved the maize block M contrasted against the blue on the shoulders.

Although I will always have a warm spot in my heart for the UTL I unis because of UTL I magic, last night's were the best of the Alts, by far.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
They were okay, sans the numbers. Our traditional homes are the best around.

When the QBs wear the "Don't touch me" yellow jerseys at practice, you get at least some idea of what an all-maize uni would look like.
It ain't all that.

The athletic department gargage sale next August.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^
Time out, is this a real thing? Is it first come first served or aution style?
October 12th, 2014 at 4:38 PM ^
I'm very interested in learning about this as well. I see alot of things on Ebay that people claim were purchased at these.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:46 PM ^
They usually have them before the fan day/media day event in August.
They didn't have one this year because they have a low amount of stock to sell to a usually massive amount of people that show up (I emailed them).
Not an auction. You better get there extremely early. I was the third person in line at the 2012 sale and actually got a pair of the white pants Michigan wore at MSU in 2011.

has gotten Muttley onto the 3rd page of users by MGoPoints in 90th place!

Wooo! (I only need 50% more of the points I've accumulated over 5 years to reach the 2nd page)
Oh, and as to the Uniformz. I wanted to hate them, but I actually liked them. Now GET OFF MY LAWN!
October 12th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
Especially when this one won't be deleted.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
Really liked them.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
Way too much going on.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
I thought they looked great, but I'd also like to see the regular home jersey with the blue pants

I had some difficulty telling the numbers because of the striping on the numbers, but overall I thought they were our best alternates of the past few years.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
Didn't mind them, but still like maize pants better.

I could've done without the shiny reflecting stripes on the shoulders and I'd like to see us try the blue-pants look with the away jerseys... but the all-blue look was cool.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:10 PM ^
Pants are meant to be Maize.

I thought it was a cool alternate look, but I'd get rid of all the stripes going on. All blue with maize numbers and no shiny stripes would have looked better
October 12th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
Liked the jersey. Hated the pants.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:13 PM ^
October 12th, 2014 at 4:13 PM ^
they looked really good from section 22. Little reflective stripes on the pants really helped them pop
October 12th, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
Loved them except for the stripes in the numbers. Didn't really like the font either. I think the blue on blue is great for an alternate.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:38 PM ^
were that they weren't that noticable unless you looked for them.
Of course, no detraction is better than a little detraction.
