JayMac Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I mocked up what I'd like to see from Nike and Michigan. Simple, clean, and perfect.(BucksFan5's template)Hopefully a little more maize in the away jersey. They look a bit like Penn State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1insaneguy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Miami you are on the clock to ditch Adidas and return to Nike.Being a private school, Miami always thinks in terms of $$$$$ first. Adidas paid more than Nike and UA were willing to...simple as that. Until Miami's football program returns to being a powerhouse like it used to be, I don't think Nike or UA will top what Adidas is giving them.Wait. Miami is a private school? I didn't know that.

MJWalker45 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I wonder if Ohio State will be looking for a matching contract when their turn comes up next. If Florida State is the top school $$$ wise, _ichigan can't be too far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'villejags Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The Harbaugh and Brady eras both look nice. However, I share CLEstones opinion in that I've never cared for the inconsistencies the away jersey always seems to have with the home jersey.The home set has looked about the same throughout history -- (and it's perfect)......while the away sets have always been trying to force the maize in there. More often than not, they are missing the mark.Sorry for the photo gallery. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23.

andycumbee19 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 We're Michigan. The only consistent thing about our road look is that it changes often. From piping to tusks back to inconsistent piping that varies player to player.The white uniform is the only jersey that can be tinkered with. What I'm saying is.... we're used to it (not that we condone it by any means)Edit: we also wore these whites in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the last few changes have been poor to say the least. If they had kept the away version of the Under the Lights uniform they would still have one of the best overall looks in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycumbee19 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just pair the away UTL uniforms with the maize pants (and take the extraneous chest logo off) Id be fine with that as an away set as well.By the way, I wonder if Nike is putting the swoosh back to the collar like they used to.

Your opinion is now invalid. A Michigan away uniform should be clean, understated, and slightly different than the home uniform. Take your pick of anything from the 80s, 90s, or early 00s... Anything simple will work wonders.http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=JN.aPLSgzIbdXc2Ozb8h7XbFQ&pid=15.1&P=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking if a fan were to buy a jersey. Looking like Penn State is DEFINITELY a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Looking through the pics ITT once again reinforces my opinion that solid blue numbers look infinitely better for us on the away jersey than trying to add a maize outline. As has been discussed, there's no reason to shoehorn Maize For Maize's Sake onto the away jersey.I've been fond of the Sugar Bowl* stripes for how understated they are while still filling the sleeve space (which everyone has to keep in mind, has gotten so small as to make Northwestern stripes and block Ms + stripes improbable):I like the balance of the solid blue block M on the jersey diagonal from the one on the pants too. Just remove the maize outline on the numbers, switch in our regular helmet, and I'd be fine with the result as our regular away uniform.DO NOT bring back the bumblebee yoke. I've always had a complicated relationship with the maize yoke, in that I sort of like it, but also find it unnecessary. idk, I'm fine with the fact that it was a one-off in our history.19741968I sorta like the simplicity of that 1974 stripe, but it seems too dated now, I think, and the fact that it was meant to match with white pants should leave it in the forgotten annals of history. That 1968 inclusion of the block M might work, though. I just think it may overload the uniform with block Ms if we keep one on our pants.*not to mention, that Sugar Bowl victory was our last success "The pictures looked good on the computer," Will Brown explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 No outline on away and then block M on sleeves would be my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm excited for this for a few reasonsOne: Adidas schools don't win, Nike schools do. As silly as this sounds, this coupled with Harbaugh returning looks good for Michigan. Why does this Ohio State fan want to see Michigan return to prominence? Because the rivalry has gotten boring and beating the pants off of buffoons like Brady Hoke doesn't thrill me at all.Two: the name of the college football game these days is alternate uniforms and on the whole Nike's garbage alternate uniforms are far less garbage than Adidas' garbage uniforms. We know Michigan is going to get an alternate. We know it will be bad. We know it won't be as bad as this https://bigtennetworks.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/uspw_5536566.jpgThree: Adidas trashed their white jerseys. Michigan's white jerseys usually looked good and classy under Nike. (except for when they got all pipey later in the deal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly agree with you, but that was a bad example for a bad adidas alternate. Or at least that was I thought a really cool retro jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a world class university, it doesn't matter which big manufacturer it is, you'll get offered big buck$.

BroadSt_Bully Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 amen. adidas putting piping on those away uniforms was just plain awful.Actually, the piping began at the end of the first Nike era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
