Good God.

 

These are about 20x worse than the originals we wore all year.

When I was in college, I did the same thing. I was also obsessed with being Michigan stuff on ebay and amazon. Now I realize I was poor and that was a bad idea. Oh well. As long as I had beer money, everything was fine.

We definitely did not have the interwebs.

What he did have however was a drinking age of 18, possession of less then 2 ounces of pot being a $5 fine, affordable and available muscle cars with gas prices under a dollar a gallon and Bo as our head coach which meant we broke even with OSU, beat MSU like the rented mule they are and went to the Rose Bowl three out of four years.  

You can have the internet.  I'll take what I had.

I find it fascinating that Adidas consistently puts together really fantastic-looking, classic uniforms for Indiana and WIsconsin, but Michigan wears this shit.

You get what you accept--Michigan said yes to this garbage. Adidas just made it.

I don't care for them, but I don't know that they are "20x worse" than the other ones.  If you hadn't compared them side by side I wouldn't have known the difference.

How Come Indiana had these "tournament" uniforms last year and we can't get what it seems like everyone wants?

Make these in Maize and Blue and put MICHIGAN on the chest. Drop the mic, walk away.

I can't wait to see what the Jordan brand puts together for us. Part of me thinks that this is adidas just giving us the big finger for leaving.

I dont' care for them, but I think State's shorts are horrible this year.  I hate all the added colors that serve no purpose.  I like the solid color of the jersey and short and the color to be the logo, the trim, the number, and Michigan.

That Etch-A-Sketch Charlie Brown Forehead Jig-Jag is a stain on the proud, clean, traditional history of the M program.

It would not have worked in the Disco Days............

These shorts will win us the B1G tourney. I feel it. Such hideousness cannot go down in a 1st round loss. They must be properly advertised to the masses through multiple victories next weekend.

God damn, them shits is ugly. And no I wouldn't say they looked 'dope' if they had they swoosh. First of all, I haven't called anthing 'dope' since around 1989. Second..no. Those fucking things are hideous to anyone with eyes to see. Sure, Nike puts out dud unis too, but nothing on this level of hot garbage. There's a reason our athletes requested Nike when surveyed. No doubt this is the adidas tournament template and they'll be a bunch more teams forced to wear this shit design.

Sure. And if adidas made a suit that looked like an Armani suit, I'd say adidas makes great suits. But they don't. Why you're engaging in this pointless rhetorical analysis is beyond me. Adidas puts out shitty templates every year. I, and many other fans of teams adidas outfits howl about these crappy designs every year. Miami fans openly wept online this year after the switch to adidas. Tennessee fans celebrated the return to Nike. The fact that not every Nike uniform is a gem doesn't change the fact that the adidas template-style uniforms are always ugly as shit.

Sure Adidas templates suck. But here is the kicker, Michigan can say 'no we aren't wearing that'. Michigan athletics only wears what they want to wear. If they are happy with the crappy template they will wear it. For that reason the blame is partly on Michigan as well as Adidas. Just look at what Adidas did for the football jerseys when you had leadership from a michigan telling Adidas what they wanted. I'd say our football jerseys were a huge success this year, agree?

Is not even posting these uniforms like they did in previous years, because they know public sentiment will be 90% against them as they have been all year...

Just everything felt off this entire season and it's been hard to deal with because we all saw it unfolding like a slow motion train wreck and nobody else did. 

Coming off of such newfound success and pride for the program that is especially disappointing. It's been disappointing, Jim 

Not tremendous in any way
