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.

White pants look good. I'd still like to see blue pants just once though.

and didn't like them any better forty years later.
However, they're not remotely in the same universe of sartorial suck as the clowniforms we wore during the previous AD/coaching regime, so if white pants are the worst it'll get under Harbaugh, I've got no complaints.

I like the white pants, and hope they keep them. But I would be OK with using the whites and the maize for a couple games each.

but I hope they go back to the maize.

I was skeptical of the white pants when they were announced, but I will admit that I didn't mind the look at all really once I saw it in an actual game. Although I would slightly prefer a switch back to maize as per the Jumpman preliminaries above, I wouldn't be terribly upset if the white pants hung around. No real strong feelings either way, just a slight aesthetic preference.

Not sure what could be "cleaned up".

This would be hilarious if it were just some Photoshop joke. Sorry for the trip down memory lane, but wanted to show the block M white pants, which I think would be way better than the striped whites.
Whoever designed and/or approved these really should be shot.

Those are our school colors, not white. The white can go away altogether as far as I am concerned.

You're probably right about the road unis now that I think about it. Maybe we can lighten the maize a bit to keep it light and that would work

Maize pants. And fix the sleeve stripes to be the 1980s style. But this is a minor quibble. I have faith that Nike understands that the Michigan brand is not one that needs to be tinkered with extensively.

Hey, whatever the fans want. I say we march an elected leader into Harbaugh's office to tell him exactly why the pants need to me maize. And maybe some extra piping. Maybe a chrome lightning bolt & numbers that are in a flame font. Nike, yo!

I like 'em.

I prefer the maize pants. They really stand out more in person and on TV.

I have alyas wondered what it would look like. Minimal white jesey. Maybe a shoulder stripe but that it it. It would be a clean look.

No, blue pants make players look slower.

It's an iconic photo, and I have no reason to doubt those who say they've heard that the move to Nike and the Jumpman logo will help with recruits.
But I don't like it on a football uniform.

I thought they looked good but I've liked the maize pants too.
Our coach knows best. In Harbaugh We Trust.

Wow, someone (multiple someones?) really hates the whites and is negging anyone who likes them.
