LETSGOBLUEBEATMSU Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 As much as I love seeing Michigan wear new uniforms I think Adidas is running out of ideas for Michigan because Michigan wants a more traditional look Adidas probably wants a sleeker more modern design. Out of all the alternative uniforms michigan has worn I think the Outback jersey was the craziest yes it was just a color swap of the Alabama uniform but it had maize numbers that where very hard to see and a matte helmet. I loved the Alabama one because it was a simple design but still not wild. The two Legacy uniforms where some of my favorites the Sugar Bowl looked very rushed but was still pretty nice. I just think Adidas is running out of ideas because Michigan fans don't want a wild design even though they can't even stand a throwback. It's hard to make uniforms for a traditional team with out pissing off the entire fan base. I hope they run out of the tunnel in the UTL unis against ND but they probably won't. If they do anymore throwbacks I would like to see the Brady unis comeback but that could be a problem with Nike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
