Personally not a fan of it.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called 'Mr.' thank you very much.
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:53 AM ^
dont love that stuff.
Don't like the first one, makes me feel awkward to wear stuff that mimics military uniforms, feels disrespectful to me.
The second one is just cheesy as hell
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
Agree 100% about trying to mimic one of the academies. Just feels weird.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
I feel like they are trying to make a few extra bucks using the military angle.
August 24th, 2019 at 2:47 AM ^
I dig the first one and it popped doesn't look like any actual uniforms.
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
An instant purchase? That's quite concerning.
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
My grandfather and four of his brothers were US Army Rangers in WWII. All 5’5 of him stormed the beaches of Normandy.
I’ll be getting my father (his son) one too as a surprise.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:04 AM ^
But the CONCERN! it consumes me!
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
OP is correct this time. WD does all of the apparel threads.
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
Im meh on this but last years red and black army gear was sexy. Closest I have came in a long time to buying clothing for another college team besides Michigan
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
Go Army beat Navy!!!!
I want them to win every game, after 9/7/19.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:03 AM ^
Just not sure what the creator of these intended--to put Michigan fans in some gear with a vaguely military caste? Not sure they were so clear about their intent themselves. . . but they seem to have gone out of their way to make something as generic as possible with that top t-, and the second. . .
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:04 AM ^
At $28 & $32, another M-Den money grab. I will pass. No jumpman???
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
I’ll send you what’s left of my Jumpman T-shirt. The print peeled off after six months. Best $35 I ever spent.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:08 AM ^
Just boot things
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:09 AM ^
I hate that the flags are backwards on the sleeves.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:21 AM ^
Yeah, that is bugging me too. Completely backwards and not even researched on their part. Cheap and ugly.

August 23rd, 2019 at 11:26 AM ^
Is the backwards flag reserved for official military gear? I like the idea that you have to earn the right to wear it.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:30 AM ^
Yes, check out the uniforms in the article.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
Then why would you want it on a t-shirt anyone can buy?
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
I don't think most veterans or active duty members don't mind the public wearing shirts that are respectful to the services or units. I think we/they do care about it if they don't represent the flag or service respectfully. Just my opinion, these fit the latter.
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:00 PM ^
Thank you for your service.
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
Spot on umbig11. If the design/intent is respectful/tasteful, then I don't mind at all. I am a veteran and the above shirts are fine as far as I can tell from the pictures.
August 23rd, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
I’m a veteran and I agree with you. I also don’t mind if an NFL player etc doesn’t stand for the flag. They are individuals playing for a team that doesn’t represent the US. However, I do not like when an athlete representing the USA doesn’t respect the country or flag ala the pink haired person or the fencer.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:53 AM ^
Exactly, I see people walking around with those shirts with backwards flags everywhere. They usually have some sort of gun on them.
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
I sure hope not. I'm a military contractor and the company shirt I'm wearing right now has the backwards flag on the sleeve lol
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:50 AM ^
There is a tail wind?
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
I'm glad I had enough restraint to scroll down to look for this comment instead of immediately reacting and posting my outrage. The flag should never be displayed in a position of retreat!
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
The flag isn't backwards, it supposed to be that way because the soldier is always moving forward.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:10 AM ^
That looks exactly like a Navy 2nd class petty officer chevron with the block M as the Sailor’s rate.
It does have 3 stars and speed stripes, which is pretty cool, I guess.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
And Coast Guard.
Of course, Army chevrons point up and don't have the nice big space to put an M logo, so they had to improvise and go with something "close enough." Here's your sailor patch for the Army game! ;)
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:19 AM ^
Do your part to drone strike a Yemeni wedding, buy this tshirt!!!
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:22 AM ^
Top shirt looks cool I guess, but it just feels odd to me. I will pass. I do need to order some things from mden though. Thanks for the reminder! I have to get my 2 year old son gear’d up for the season. (85th percentile height, 90th weight, phenomenal pad level... just in case any scouts are reading this)
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:26 AM ^
I went to West Point for two years then transferred to Michigan. No doubt about who I will be rooting for. GO BLUE! (But it is nice to see Army win any of its other games.) Hope to be at the game to help cheer Michigan on to victory!
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
Seemed like a WD thread to me. Perhaps his threads should start off with "WD:" similar to "OT:"
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
Gross. Love it when people play army dress up and look like tools.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
Someone,somewhere ,could do better than that.
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
WD, I have a serious question for you. How much money, a year, do you spend on Michigan apparel?
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
All of the clothes on Maize and Blue hangers are Michigan apparel. There are 111 and 55 are Nike or Jordan brand. Hats and winter stuff is organized by brand, stuff on hangers by sport. All of my Adidas gear is boxed up in my storage unit. My girlfriend is gonna turn a lot of those old shirts into quilts.
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:06 PM ^
So, we're talking easy 5 figures, all-in then, no?
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
I see that you are well prepared for St. Patrick's Day.
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
Seriously, you have a problem.
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Meh...
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Not going to contribute to the militarization of college football. Pass.
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
I don't think this is disrespectful at all. It can't be easy coming up with designs that honor the military and support the game. Ill pull for Army on every other game than Michigan. Go Blue!
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:45 PM ^
I don't hate the first one, but the incorrect flag will stop me from buying it. Big gaffe in my opinion. Besides, as an Airman I have two reasons to not wear Army green to this game. Got my tix today, can't wait!
August 23rd, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
So THAT'S why we play this game?
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:32 PM ^
Eh, not crazy about those t-shirts. Besides, I spent so much on my recent MDen order that I got a "free" teddy bear so I need to watch the spending.
