New Basketball Uniforms?

Submitted by jcgold on

I was in the MDen on State street today and came across these kids jerseys.  Have we heard any rumblings about an alterntive jersey or a reason to wear a throwback type jersey like we did against penn state a few years ago.  I personally love them and cannot wait for them to come out in the Mens sizes if they are indeed going to be worn on court.

Will you be purchasing a child-size mannequin to wear this in your uniform cave? Will you be fathering a child to sport this in the interim until adult sizes are available? Will you house your child in a glass case in your uniform cave? We need details!

Michigan, the Big Ten Conference, and the NCAA would like to make it eminently clear that No. 23 does not at all refer to any current player on the Michigan basketball team, in particular someone who may be the team's best player and future NBA draft pick, and that even if it did such player (if he exists, which he does not) would be entitled to no share of the profits stemming from the sales of this jersey.

Those are awesome because they're throwbacks, and actual throwbacks are awesome, especially when they're to championship seasons.  But if we step back for a second and assess things honestly... those 1989 uniforms are hideous.

It's in the same general style as our 1989 throwbacks, but I think it's slightly different.  I don't remember our throwbacks having the block M on the back collar, or that thick blue panel on the back neck.

It seems 1989-inspired but not an exact throwback.

 

PS-Could not find the last time we wore the '89 throwbacks for a comparison.  If anyone has photos I would appreciate it.  It seems the Penn State game where we wore throwbacks was our 1968 throwbacks.  I know we have worn the '89s before but I don't remember when and against whom.

Throwbacks are cool. Alternate shit that was made up by Brandon is not. I remember how it was just going to be a throwback because it was a special game against Notre Dame in 2011 and then bamn we secretly trotted out bumblebees against MSU, some other shit in another road game, and then for a 5th time we made up some random design for the bowl game then we started 2012 against Alabama with shitty stripes.

I feel in love with UofM basketball when Gary Grant and of course when Rice and Robinson wore them back in the day. I bought a Robinson #21 jersey a few years back when Nike was still in place. I love it and still bust it out every once in a while.

The big block M first letter was something Missouri did for years before Michigan adopted it.. But, it's a great style uniform, and I've always liked it.

The Fab Five era jerseys are easily my favorite.   Simple and clean.  Just plain awesome.  I suppose they'd have to have the B1G logo on them nowadays, but other than that i'd still prefer to go with that look.  Once Hackett hires JH, he can start ironing (get it, a clothing pun) out all the uniform concerns.

We should wear the Cazzie Russell's...now, tomorrow, always and forever.

It should be our uniform the way Adidas schools Kansas, UCLA, Indiana, etc. have their uniform with only minor tweaks and updates.
