Keep the white pants for road games or nah?
I say yes. I've gotten so used to them that it actually looked weird to me for a moment seeing the Citrus Bowl practice photos with the white jerseys and Maize pants.
Here's a mock up by a message board poster from SportsLogo.net of what it would look like next year with Maize pants.

I like the maize better, we did well in the white's but I'm ready to get back to our iconic road uni's.

4-1 in them, including 4 straight wins and a perfect record in B1G road games for the first time since 1997.
adidas did a very good job with the road uniform design this year. Hopefully Nike keeps something similar in terms of the jerseys.

and the coaches on the sidelines, not the color of the pants. The color is just an aesthetic thing.
January 3rd, 2016 at 8:14 PM ^
I know, I'm just being an idiot.
Also: we are 10-3 since we have returned to the traditional white socks and black shoes.

We won a National Title in maize pants. Lets go back to maize pants.
January 3rd, 2016 at 8:30 PM ^
To be fair and completely scientific, we should examine all 11 national championships to see what color pants we wore in them all.

Agreed -- our *home* uniforms are iconic.
I'm in the minority here, but I never liked the maize pants. I don't think there's enough contrast with the white jersey.
January 3rd, 2016 at 9:28 PM ^
iconic?
HAHAHA they changed like every 5 years!
January 4th, 2016 at 7:35 AM ^
I'm for keeping the white pants. They highlight the iconic helmet much more and the maize pant stripe goes well with the stripes on the helmet as well. My wife also says I have "no fashion sense." So take my opinion for what it is worth. I just want to win.

into a "winged striped" version w/ the wing at the top of the hips and three maize stripes on a blue background merging into a single stripe near the bottom.
(OK, that'll probably look terrible when actually drawn, but it had possibilities when limited to my imagination.)

Braylon asked for it, Lloyd declined until he "earned" it. And before then it was used as a recruiting tool. Pretty sure everyone prior to Braylon donned the #1 as Freshman.
January 3rd, 2016 at 8:08 PM ^
No more jersey number changing circus. Give #1 to Devin Bush.
It would look awesome on a LB. Ahmir Mitchell tweeted that he's gonna be wearing the #2 jersey here.

Wait... what? How is the #1 jersey a circus? Legend numbers or w/e the fuck were a circus.
The #1 jersey is not a circus and has been a tradition for decades.
I doubt Harbaugh would get rid of it, and the #1 jersey is still listed as an official tradition on MGoBlue.
January 3rd, 2016 at 8:26 PM ^
"You must earn it" was started by Lloyd when he trying to motivate Braylon.
Give it to a freshman and be done with it. You know, what Bo did originally with A.C. He gave #1 to him because he was a special recruit.
It's a circus because of how it's been handled the last decade. Manningham turning it down, the whole Braylon and RR saga, Funchess having 3 different numbers in 3 different years.
I think it would look good on an LB. Regardless of who wears it, my opinion is that it should just be given out to a freshman so it's always in circulation. A decade of collecting dust isn't right.

#1 should definitely go to a receiver, but I hate this idea of it going to a guy who is established and great. All the Braylon crap did was make sure no one wears it anymore. If you wait til a guy is already good, it will barely be worn. Chesson can have it for a year, but then he's gone. Another reason it shouldn't be so tough to give out is I hate seeing people here trashing a receiver for not living up to the number and saying it should be taken away.
#1 for a WR and #2 for a secondary player but beyond that I don't care so long as they get worn.

Not trolling. I've said this opinion before.

Well in this case your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

Don't know why you have to be such a jerk whenever you disagree with me.
