Kramerica Industries Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I can't f--king believe the biggest Michigan football game in decades, they have the choice of uniform, and they're wearing all-blue. Go Huskies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I get that this is a ridiculously elitist take, but the general trend among fans, players, and increasingly more teams toward preferring monochrome uniforms instead of traditional balanced uniforms is because most people have sh** taste and are morons. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, like most people here, would prefer Michigan in navy over maize against Washington in white over purple, but there is something to be said about monochrome matchups offering the maximum possible contrast between the two teams, which is the purpose of having sports uniforms in the first place. I tend to prefer more traditional, colorful matchups myself, but calling anyone who disagrees “morons” is pushing it too far. It’s worth a reminder that this stuff is, like all forms of “art,” subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 As far as monochrome uniforms go, I think tonight's are two of the more tasteful ones. Michigan has a distinctive color scheme and helmet design. A simple, monochromatic uniform below that allows the helmet to shine and the maize to pop off the navy blue. Washington, meanwhile, has the gold helmet paired with a jersey and pants with matching stripes. That's perfectly acceptable monochrome there throughout the history of football aesthetics. I definitely don't think either uniform choice detracted from the brands in question. 5 1 fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopewellJones Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Looking back, I didn't realize how many different combinations Michigan wore. 11 different combinations to start the season. Wasn't until Ohio State that they repeated a combination (all blue). Week 1: Blue-Maize-Blue Week 2: Blue-Maize-White Week 3: Blue-Blue-Blue Week 4: Blue-Maize-Maize Week 5: White-Maize-White Week 6: White-White-White Week 7: Blue-Blue-Maize Week 8: White-Blue-Blue Week 9: Blue-Blue-White Week 10: White-Maize-Maize Week 11: White-White-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing the helmet is not included (as that would be blue all the time). Is it like sock color or shoes or something? If it's socks, I didn't know they were consistent enough to track or definitively say they were one color per game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the average fan doesn't really notice socks and accessories, but most people here do. And they make a big difference in aesthetic. The blue jersey/pants combo definitely has a different feel when they wear maize socks and sleeves with it. Wearing the maize pants with maize socks just looks bad. But anyway yeah it seems as though they very deliberately tried not to repeat any uniform combos until the very end.

Now they've become the "Big Game Blues." I absolutely loved the Rose Bowl uniforms with the white socks and sleeves (not to mention the shoulder patches). That's classic Michigan right there.

I agree that the maize accessories look terrible with the maize pants. I think the maize accessories look really nice with the navy jersey and pants, though, but all-navy looks really nice, too. I also think navy/white/navy/maize could work as an occasional road combo. I think the ideal combos for Michigan are navy/navy/maize/navy at home, and navy/white/maize/navy on the road. I'm fine with some mixing and matching for them though, so long as they don't go with maize for both the pants and the socks/accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the socks in a pro context; it's just that generally speaking there is no required (or practiced) consistency in how socks are worn in college. So I didn't realize that, apparently, Michigan wears the same color socks/tights from player to player each game. Thanks for clarifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Interesting sighting at the East-West Shrine Bowl https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/toronto-argonauts-qwan-tez-stiggers-invited-to-participate-in-east-west-shrine-bowl-game-1.2063993 He's NFL draft eligible which is why he earned an invitation to the game: "Qwan'Tez Stiggers will be playing pro football in 2024. He just doesn't know where yet. The six-foot, 197-pound cornerback was the CFL's top rookie last season with the Toronto Argonauts and remains under contract with the club. However, Stiggers is also eligible for the '24 NFL draft and certainly has caught the eye of scouts south of the border. He'll have another chance to impress. On Wednesday, Stiggers was invited to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl on Feb. 1 in Frisco, Texas. A solid performance there could land Stiggers an invitation to the NFL combine, slated for Indianapolis from Feb. 29 to March 3. The draft goes April 25-27 in Detroit". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess nothing in the name says it has to be college athletes playing, so good on them for inviting him.
