How can you say "Penn St. my ass?" I get that with the maize pants and helmet...but not even you walk around Ann Arbor in football pants and a helmet. 

We're maize and blue.

It should have a maize outline on the numbers and letters for name on the back. You don't need stripes or piping, but you can't make it identical to our 5th or 6th biggest football rival and member of our own conference.

Funny to see the reaction.  Fans want simplicity and all we are told is recruits/players want non simplicity.  So if true this is Harbaugh setting his foot down and we no longer get videos of kids acting like a bunch of hooligans at an EPL game when a new "busy" jersey is unveileved.

We've also been told this will hurt recruiting because each time a new jersey is unveilved with more lines, colors, designs on it peeps say "but the kids love it..."

I assume we would wait until the end of the Adidas contract, which is the 2016-17 season as I recall. Of course, I don't know if there is a substantial penalty for backing out early should they choose to do, but I would imagine that even if they made the decision to switch, Nike wants their customary eon to do their "brand analysis" (I have heard of these taking a year).

it really amazes me that people piss and moan about piping and now they're pissing and moaning about NO piping.

PSU has a blue collar - which looks like shit IMO.  Put a block M somewhere and stop comparing.  The maize outline is too busy - clean is good.  I so hope this is the direction we're going.  Will look incredible at Utah.  Make sure anything else above the waist is also pure white for full effect.  FINALLY!

Hate to be the party pooper, but just because the uniforms were on display at a clinic doesn't mean we will be wearing them.

These are f'ing boring.  This is a practice jersey.  If we wear this as our actual road jersey I'll be disappointed.

 

I'm all for simplicity, but these look like they were made for $5 for an IM football team.
