A better look at the new all-white road uniforms
Saw a lot of people wanting to wait and see what the all-white road uniforms would look like on the players.
Here's something. Team graphic artist tweeted this out of a diving De'Veon Smith showing them off.
ALSO: NO MORE FRONT BUMPER BLOCK M?! WOOOOOO!!

May have to do with the glossy helmet finish.
I'm fawning over the color of the Maize. Actual Maize.
August 15th, 2015 at 10:54 PM ^
I agree that Adidas went way over the top with regard to our maize the last few years but I'm not really digging this new maize. I thought Nike hit the sweet spot in terms of not too bright but electric enough for it to pop on HD television. Hopefully they correct this next year and we can go back to the maize we wore during the Carr era.
August 15th, 2015 at 11:03 PM ^
It's probably going to be the same.
adidas has the official University Maize which is 255-203-5 on an RGB scale.
August 15th, 2015 at 11:11 PM ^
Doubt it. Nike will want to put their stamp on things. They aren't ponying up $169 million just so Harbaugh can play designer.
August 15th, 2015 at 11:15 PM ^
When the Nike press release came out, the graphics were all in the correct colors fwiw.
It's clear Nike wanted Michigan. Michigan is gonna do what Michigan wants and I'm sure that contract has something in there like that.
Hackett is not a moron like, oh, the previous AD.
August 15th, 2015 at 11:21 PM ^
Well it's also clear Michigan wanted Nike. Hence why they accepted the lowest bid out of the 3 apparel companies. You're kiddig yourself if you don't think Nike is going to have a big say in the uniforms for all our sports going forward. They have award winning designers whose sole job is to work on things like this. Michigan partnered with them for a reason.
August 15th, 2015 at 11:38 PM ^
That's my point.
Michigan could have went elsewhere for more and used that as leverage to gain some creative control.
I do not trust Nike. I trust Harbaugh and Hackett. They have fixed the color scheme issues and football uniforms before their first full year starts.
August 16th, 2015 at 12:15 AM ^
You have no idea what kind of creative control Michigan has or doesn't have. Nike's made the best Michigan uniforms in my lifetime. Saying you don't trust them is laughable.

If you're the AD, are you going to sign a contract in which you do not have full veto power over them with regard to design? Do you think Hackett would do that? I think even DB is smart enough to not sign away control. He probably just signed off on a lot of Adidas' suggestions, or perhaps they were his ideas or those of whomever he delegated that responsibility.
We're still under Adidas for this year and apparently Harbaugh was able to dictate exactly what he wanted in design and color. Just as you would hope and assume he/AD could do. I would fully expect and hope that Nike comes in with a dozen variations on that theme and radically different shit as well. But I assure you that Hack-baugh will make final decisions, if not outright dictate.
I assume it's all negotiable, and we have Hackett. I don't know what's in these contracts, I am just assuming a fundamental aspect of them. Anyone out there happen to know these details? Mr. Yost?

255-255-100 (more or less).
August 16th, 2015 at 7:53 PM ^
Actually, WD has it right. Pantone 7406C or Hex #ffcb05 translates most closely to 255-203-5, which is also VERY close to the CMYK color.

Harbaugh is an elite football coach.
Harbaugh is not an elite fashion designer.
Still wish we had more maize because it's an actual color of ours as opposed to white, a color of rivals.
They look better in this graphic to me, but I still really hope this is only a one year deal.
August 16th, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
Agreed!!
August 15th, 2015 at 9:55 PM ^
very very similar eh?
August 15th, 2015 at 9:52 PM ^

No capes! -Edna Mode
August 15th, 2015 at 10:37 PM ^
But we can't wear a Blue belt with Black cleats. We don't want to end up on US Magaizine's Worst Dressed list
August 15th, 2015 at 9:53 PM ^
Also, white socks and black shoes!
August 15th, 2015 at 9:56 PM ^
August 15th, 2015 at 9:55 PM ^
I really like the look. It takes me back to my high school days watching the team in these uniforms. GO BLUE!!!
August 15th, 2015 at 9:57 PM ^
I agree

That said, if we're winning games, I couldn't care less what we wear as long as it's not red or green.
August 15th, 2015 at 9:56 PM ^
would be good especially on an otherwise rather simple design. either way i think it's pretty cool.
August 15th, 2015 at 10:02 PM ^
First time poster here.
I have not seen this posted anywhere, but here's an idea of what the Jordan uniforms could look like next year if we return to the maize pants. Not trying to hijack this thread.

Keep in mind, these are only concepts of what it could look like.
I see a few things right off the bat Harbaugh would probably veto. The block M on the pants and on the collar of the jerseys. Also the weird stripes on the socks.
He wants it looking like it he did when he played based on these recent changes.
I also think that collar M clutters the jersey. Some people pissed blood and raged over the nameplate M adidas did a few years ago when it was added. It was just removed recently.
August 15th, 2015 at 10:10 PM ^
Harbaugh did not wear all white jerseys on the regular when he was a player.
Honestly, I think he's doing it as a tribute to Hackett, because one of the rare times when we did have all white uniforms was when Hackett, not Harbaugh, was a young player.
Tributes are rarely permanent in this type of way, at least that's what I hope.
August 15th, 2015 at 10:13 PM ^
I was referring to the changes to the home uniform. Removing the block M on the pants and jersey nameplate.
I really want to see a Harbaugh era road uniform because that's my favorite design.
August 15th, 2015 at 11:05 PM ^
We'd have that flywire shit though...
I like the M on the pants, but Harbaugh is a communist...so doubt we get that back.
The B1G logo is too close to the numbers
The socks will be all white and if we get fancy, maybe the block M will return on them...maybe.
You forgot the shoes!
Sike, they'll be all black.

Looks like the Block M bumper is out.
