Maize uniforms (photo)
Here they are and they don't look as bad as I thought originally. https://twitter.com/aaronmcmann/status/902228326676406272

Honestly think this is as good as all-maize jerseys could look.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
Which is an extremely low bar. These are awful.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:26 PM ^
...looks like a French's Mustard bottle.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
If I were to quickly glance at these on the field, without a close look at the helmet, I would have no idea that these are UM uniforms. Does not feel right.
August 28th, 2017 at 5:25 PM ^
the helmet might give it away. at least it is a real color associated with michigan. not a black or gray or silver that so many other teams do.
August 28th, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
or bronze
August 28th, 2017 at 10:40 PM ^
What the f*ck? I wanted Nike, not Oregon. These suck.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:17 PM ^
Anyone know why the 1 is on the shoulder but the 4 is on the sleeve?

Limited vs. Legend...Game vs. Replica

actually don't think they are. I think it was expected that they would be, but I think for one game those look pretty damn good.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:56 PM ^
Maybe if we were West Virginia... but we're not

Nobody thinks more of these than I do.
And I think they suck.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:33 PM ^
Some of you people would complain about winning the power ball because they took out too much for taxes. These are fine for ONE game.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:52 PM ^
The down in front crowd hates them, surprising
August 28th, 2017 at 5:08 PM ^
Ugly is ugly, whether for one game or not. We have the best uniforms in college football already. There's no need for this.
August 28th, 2017 at 7:01 PM ^
I think they will look good on the field in action
August 28th, 2017 at 8:23 PM ^
Goosed Michigan apparel sales disagrees with you.
August 29th, 2017 at 9:01 AM ^
Ugly is subjective
August 28th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
Fucking brutal.
August 28th, 2017 at 5:30 PM ^
like thzt orangey yellow color
August 28th, 2017 at 7:33 PM ^
We affectionately refer to that color as "maize".
August 28th, 2017 at 6:47 PM ^
Similar to saying that Matt Stafford is the best Lions QB of all-time.
August 29th, 2017 at 9:33 AM ^
Why wouldn't they change the pants then? Maize jerseys are one thing but maize on maize is butt
August 28th, 2017 at 2:25 PM ^
Mountaineers!
August 28th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
This sounds like a reason to avoid all-maize jerseys altogether. It will be weird saying "Go Blue" during this game, and that's a problem.
Hopefully the team will pull together to overcome this early adversity.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
I went to bed on Sunday night in Michigan. Woke up on Thursday night in Morgantown.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
Go Blue when they wore the all white uniforms? That comment makes no sense to me.
August 28th, 2017 at 5:19 PM ^
Which, as the road team, is normally what Michigan would wear.
August 28th, 2017 at 5:29 PM ^
the team colors are MAIZE and blue. always thought the basketball and hockey jersey`s looked cool. never really understood why the football team didn`t have one.
August 28th, 2017 at 5:57 PM ^
Probably because the regular football uniforms are iconic, and don't look right in maize?
August 28th, 2017 at 2:38 PM ^
It's like being the best high jumper without legs.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:39 PM ^
classy.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:44 PM ^
It's called a joke.
August 28th, 2017 at 2:47 PM ^
Those uniforms look good. This mass freak out over alternate uniforms for one game is just weird.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:27 PM ^
I actually like the jersey and have thought for a long time a maize jersey would look good. However, I think the maize pants are a bit much. I think white pants with those jerseys would've been slick as hell.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:58 PM ^
Ok, these are terrible... but now you want them with white pants? Are you blind???

ijohn...c'mon man THEY'RE FUCKING HIDEOUS! Alternate jersey's would have a mild freak-out sure...if they were nice it'd stay..mild. This is just ridiculous though. Nike, the AD, Harbaugh, whoever thought this up made a terrible decision.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:49 PM ^
guess I really just don't think they are. I think they look pretty good. We don't have a uniform that is all that conducive to an alternate, at all. I agree with that, as is evidenced by Adidas failed attempts (and seriously, with the exception of the Sugar Bowl jerseys, they were all far worse than this). But it is clear that Nike is doing "a thing" with this game, for better or worse. Florida is wearing all blue alternates. I am not sure what choice we had. We are the away team? All white wasn't an option, clearly. This looks less like a creative endeavor and more like a "let's make the most out of it" situation. And for that, I don't think they look very bad. They are as simple as can be under the circumstances and don't resort to any of the ridiculous decorative piping and other garbage that Adidas did.
I am not trying to simply be contrarian. I actually don't think they look bad.
August 28th, 2017 at 3:51 PM ^
1. What's wrong with the white uniforms? It's just as much an option as anything else that contrasts with Florida's uniforms, which (surprise!) they do. What's this "situation" that needs to be rectified?
2. See #1
August 28th, 2017 at 4:08 PM ^
has made it a "Color Rush game." Florida is doing an alternate too. Michigan signed with Nike. Nike does this stuff and everybody knows that. I don't understand what the big deal is with this. People are all "Alabama doesn't do alternates." Well, news flash - we are not Alabama. When we go out and win four national championships in like seven years than I assume we will be able to dictate all the terms as well.
Everybody needs to just take a step back and relax about these. One of our primary colors is maize. It stands to reason that we may, at some point, wear a maize jersey.
August 28th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
Ohhhhh Nike is the boss here. I get where your interests lie.
Guess what the white uniform looks like? A monochrome uniform.
August 28th, 2017 at 4:20 PM ^
Florida wears all blue a lot. And they have worn white helmets in the past. This isjust a brighter shade of blue than they normally wear.
August 28th, 2017 at 6:00 PM ^
I'm pretty sure our Nike deal is worth more than Bama's. And I'm definitely sure our deal is worth more than PSU's. And yet they can say no and we can't?
August 28th, 2017 at 6:19 PM ^
Alternates now mean alternates forever. We have the best uniforms in college football and this permanently cedes tradition to Penn State and Alabama. I believe they are the only two that have said no to uniformz?
Timeless is timeless; it bonds generations. Blaming Brandon for temporary insanity has been my comforting hedge. No longer. I am just a little voice but say with conviction this is actually reducing my enthusisam for the season more than I would have expected. The pride of tradition is so easily damaged and gone, gone, gone...extinction is forever.
You know what would have been a good one-time use? UTL1 and done. Biggest mic drop ever. Oh well let's have fun being like everyone else...awesome it feels great. Not.
If any players are reading this let's be clear though: it's very important you execute and kick the shit out of Florida. That matters most.
August 28th, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
This is a bit much. The season is diminished for you over a uniform? Come on with that.
August 28th, 2017 at 8:23 PM ^
glad that you decided to give the players that little pep talk at the end. I'm sure that was crucial. Give me a break. That is way too much drama.
August 28th, 2017 at 8:30 PM ^
Whoa there pardner, don't be talking stupid now.
I hate the yellow jerseys with a passion, but that won't diminish my enthusiasm and love for Michigan football one iota. When your own child leaves the house wearing some ridiculous hairdo or jackass outfit—which they will—it doesn't mean you don't love them every bit as much.
But the yellow jerseys still suck.
