First look at the #0 jersey in practice
@UMichFootball shared a montage of one of their padless practices yesterday and in it we catch a glimpse of the #0 jersey.
Both Andre Seldon and Giles Jackson (pictured) are the first #0s in Michigan Football history as #0 was legalized during the offseason by the NCAA for football.
All over the country you see usually the better players on teams wearing 0. Ive even seen #0 on a QB at UTSA.

Looks like a block O. Perhaps this is the year the turn tables.
Also appears to be a shield on the bottom half of the facemask.
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
Crap, now I can't unsee that.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:48 AM ^
When you see it, just think OSU = 0
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:11 AM ^
I've heard that UM is requiring the face shield of all players at this time.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:26 AM ^
Makes sense, I don't recall seeing it like this before though.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:27 AM ^
If I were an offensive skill player, I'd stay far away from the number zero. Yes I am that stuporstitious.
September 23rd, 2020 at 12:02 PM ^
On the other hand it's a giant target for the QB to miss by 3 yards in any direction.
September 23rd, 2020 at 1:42 PM ^
#0 is the official jersey of Tacopants?
September 23rd, 2020 at 3:41 PM ^
Tacopants certainly brings back some memories. +1 to you good sir.
September 23rd, 2020 at 5:56 PM ^
If you're a little stitious, then go ahead with #0
September 24th, 2020 at 8:22 PM ^
For this very reason I said from Day 1, 0 shouldn't be allowed at Michigan.
I'm not one of those earn #1 people, but you could like at 10, 20, etc. and see 0 wasn't going to work.
It's also only a matter of time before it's a sacred number at OSU like #7 at LSU. I'd put money on that.
...as for the shield, more B1G stuff. There's a picture of Peyton Ramsey at NW and his lower shield was completely fogged up.
September 24th, 2020 at 10:09 PM ^
Ohio State has sued over less.
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:46 AM ^
So that's what the number zero looks like!
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:16 AM ^
if you've seen me or my picture, you've seen a zero before.
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:51 AM ^
Following in the footsteps of other Michigan greats, most notably in my mind Zack Novak
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:55 AM ^
I knew this was a WD thread before I opened it.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:25 AM ^
LMAO. Can always count on Packer fans for gems like this.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
I find myself unable to shake off the unsavory connotations of this image.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:07 AM ^
I don't relish the thought of imagining the possibilities.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:41 AM ^
Where's the mustard?
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:49 AM ^
That's not our business.
September 23rd, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
Mayonnaise?
September 23rd, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
They left him at home with the babysitter.
September 23rd, 2020 at 12:15 PM ^
Maybe I'm just picky, but I prefer my buns with no hair.
September 23rd, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
Ewwwwwwwwwww!
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:00 AM ^
Giles looks jacked compared to last year. All these extra workouts may be great for the young guys on the team.
Stay positive and test negative !
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:47 AM ^
Such a sexy change, long time coming.
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:54 AM ^
9-0.. love the 0!
September 23rd, 2020 at 1:13 PM ^
Giles, you could've been a spitting image of breaston (#15) but in a spread offense:(
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:08 PM ^
"He's like Steve Breaston, but spreadier!"
September 23rd, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
When I see the # 0, I see Orlando Woolridge.
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:09 PM ^
Hahaha--for the longest time, he was the only #0 I knew.
September 23rd, 2020 at 1:39 PM ^
What happened to the maize color? Are we going back to the lemon yellows?
September 23rd, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
It’s the camera they’re using.
September 23rd, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Here's to moving on from natural numbers to integers!
September 23rd, 2020 at 1:49 PM ^
J. Giles, Jackson..... if you please
September 23rd, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Looking good.
I wonder how many work hours the NCAA spent on banning the "0," and then spent unbanning it. And we think some posts here are a waste of time.
September 23rd, 2020 at 2:33 PM ^
The Novak is strong with this one
September 23rd, 2020 at 3:36 PM ^
That's a good looking jersey!
September 23rd, 2020 at 7:26 PM ^
That is actually double zero
September 23rd, 2020 at 9:44 PM ^
Or a nice bun if you're a packer fan.
September 23rd, 2020 at 3:56 PM ^
Wearing the number 0 was never illegal. It just wasn't allowed by the NCAA. Ironically, there are a number of illegal things that the NCAA smiles upon.
September 23rd, 2020 at 4:49 PM ^
Seldon looks the part
September 23rd, 2020 at 7:21 PM ^
September 23rd, 2020 at 11:14 PM ^
It seems weird that 0 was ever against the rules as a number. Player numerals are used for identification, not counting or arithmetic, so why not use 0? It's as distinct and identifiable as any other single digit.
