Most of my Michigan gear is Nike already, but it's Nike from pre-2007 before the disastrous Adidas decision. I have a sweatshirt that I was wearing when Tom Brady was still on the team (that's not a lie, FYI).
I have a Nike hoodie from probably 2005ish that I still wear. Only problem is it has a tiny little hole in the armpit seam. I've gotten so many wears out of that shirt. Compare that to Adidas junk that have since bought, wornout, and trashed, the Nike gear still rages on.
I'm not a brand guy, but I am a quality guy, so this reason alone for me was what made me excited to move back to Nike.
With that said I'm a big fan of that pull over maize jacket, looks real sharp. I love the yellow apparel over the blue personally.4 However, I'm not certain if the pullover would drive me nuts now or not. Younger me loved that, I'm not sure about older me.
Damnit, after the thread the other day I talked myself into not needing anything new for this season, I can get away with my #4 jersey every game. Welp, I lied. Sorry wallet.
interesting....I like the simpler stuff. Not the Zubazz sleeves or Hail on the arm stuff. Block M's, swooshes and Jumpman is fine though.
Can I buy these without the tacky oversized swooshes and jumpmen?
Sure, just go get yourself outfitted at Meijer Thrifty Acres.
surprised he didn't say Wal-Mart
Another +1 for correct use of 'Meijer' where most use the incorrect 'Meijers'.
That second t-shirt, with the outline of the State of Michigan, looks like it should only be offered in toddler and small youth sizes.
The Block Ms on the vest, sleeveless hoodie, and jacket are too big for my liking too.
The rest of the stuff ranges from "ehh, OK" to "dang, I really like that!". YMMV.
And women's sizes. My wife loves that cheesy State of Michigan stuff!
Gotta go Big Baller Brand
LaVar Ball: honorary captain?!?
$160 Sleeveless Hoodie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or a couple extra zippers
to remove the sleeves.
He can now bid on the Marlins with just the proceeds from the sleeveless hoodies.
So I can buy a hoodie for $85 or pay twice as much for one without sleeves? I mean, I know the price on these has nothing to do with the actual cost of material or production, but WTF?
Yes, I realize I'm old.
Also, $90 sweat pants.
Those pants better be really comfy at that price.
I quite like those first two shirts, but do I $26 like them?
I am so happy to see Nike using the Wolverbear on stuff
WD, I'm curious as to what percentage of your wardrobe is non-Michigan related.
Not making fun at all, but I assume you spend a decent amount of money on the new Nike clothing. Exactly how much do you own that is not in any way affiliated with UM?

I would have thought with the switch to white pants for the road uniforms, you might have followed suit and gotten some white hangers.
BTW, that "($$$)" in the title reminded me of ESPN.com and their insider-only articles. I thought for a brief moment MGo was endorsing a subscription-based model. Phew. My cheap ass will never go for that.
Wow, now, that's dedication. May also be borderline mentally ill, but dedication nonetheless.
that this comment will go galactically viral with a closet photo.
you asked
The towels on the shelf are covering up my Michigan hats so they don't get dusty.
As a bonus, I also organize my shorts and whatnot by brand. Left is Jordan and right is Nike.
So remind us again when is Warde offering you a job? Every answer should be subtitled with "a day behind schedule."
How are your kids going to get to college?
Ponzi schemes?
haters be damned
I think that first shirt is hideous - love the concept with the little bitty team running in, but the big maize "O" looking stadium diagram - bleh!!
And the corresponding hat that went with is pretty awesome too.
but not sure why he's wearing a casserole pot on his head.
should be wearing a hat with a wolverine head on it, wearing a hat with a wolverine head on it...
I need WD to update these with links to actually buy the stuff, I've been looking for a wolverbear hat since the nike contract came out and it seems like it will finally exist.
hat is available on Nike.com. I just got one. I put it in my cart last night at a price of $26, but when I went back in about an hour ago it was marked to $16.97.
