Michigan vs. Florida: Uniform Snowflakes

Jerseys still look hideous.  Imagine what they'd look like in a loss!

It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.....when we can go back to complaining about uniforms or the color maize

Everyone, myself included, hated the all yellow look. Visceral dislike. The most common remark was, "I hope I don't have look at those uniforms for the rest of the season". Anecdotal, but that's the response from 25-30 people more at less at random. I assured them that traditional uniforms would be back next game. I hope I'm proved right.

Fine.

I only cringed when I saw them in a big group. It was too much all at once. Spread out was fine, in a huddle, not fine.

It's uniquely Michigan.  We own them.  Not bad.

I'm old and I liked them, but I really don't give a shit. If coach and the wanted to wear pink, I'm good with it.

The more I thought about them as the maize hockey jerseys the more I didn't mind them.  I prefer our traditional look but it could have been much, much worse.

I didn't really care for them. But it's not that big of a deal.

I plan on wearing my maize all season but I'm a slob and spilling on maize will be uglier than my blue jersey

Loved them! I thought it was a nice change of pace. It's difficult with a school that carries such tradition to make changes that people will like (see helmet sticker whining), but I enjoy new things. You couldn't help but see our guys on the field

Hope they never show up again.

I thought they were decent but they need blue belts or blue stripes like the white ones from last year so the pants don't look plain and so they break up the color a bit. 

since the last time Michigan played in all maize. I can wait until 2106 before we trot these out again.

I can't fathom how you look at the world if you like these things.  Mono-color uniforms are nearly always a bad idea, especially this color.  Horrible.

You're bucking kidding right OP? Those were absolutely hideous

Better after the win than at the kickof

BUT ended up LOVING them...really popped on TV..

I would prefer these over the white jersey/maize pant traditional road uniforms. My Fav list would be: 1. Home uniform, 2. All white road, 3. All maize road and 4. White/maize road.

Goddamnit I would love to observe the meltdown that would occur around here if the team decided to wear these jerseys all season long.

then putting up with the French's look for one game is a small price to pay.

Ever, wear those fucking things again.

Love,
Mom

This should be the new neutral site game look, including all bowl games outside of the playoff.

Score and great performance aside, I absolutely hated the uniforms.  HOWEVER, I am completely of the camp that my opinion matters somewhere around zero and if the players and recruits - first and foremost (fans who buy them secondarily) - like them, then I am fully in favor of them.  Whatever helps the program since ultimately changing uniforms once in awhile isn't going to hurt tradition or anything.

But yeah...  not nearly as pleasant to look at as our normal uniforms.

EDIT: first double post waaaahhhhhh.  Also, I'm 28 so there are "younger" fans who aren't in favor of the uniformz.

Don't need to see them again thanks.

at first I only liked them.

 

AFTER WE WON I F-ING LOVED THEM!

 

Looked weird, didn't feel right, hope they disappear forever. You "why don't they wear a full maize uniform?" people got your wish, now go away for another 90 years.

Loved the jersey. Think it would look better with blue pants. Go Blue!

Liked them more than I thought I would even before the drubbing began and I was ready to make fun of them mercilessly. Wouldn't mind seeing them again as long as we win. But the second we lose wearing them, burn them.

But don't see myself buying one. And I'm also not that big of a fan of the traditional white away jerseys either...too generic.

Couldn't help thinking entire game how they would look with blue pants.

The helmet's the thing. 

They looked way better in game than in the pictures. Prefer the classic blues but they were fine.

Blue pants would have made the look better imo. But nike wanted a "color" game.

They looked like practice jerseys to me.  

I like yellow uniforms on principle, and I think these weren't bad as such. And since it's a neutral site game this is the logical time to try it.

But Michigan looks better in its other uniforms. I'm not upset and they looked ok, but it was a step down.

Better than every single one of the Adidas alts, though.

Based on the pictures I even told coworkers that I thought they were a joke. However, I have to admit that they were not nearly as bad as I expected for the game. I might even go so far as to say I liked them. Now, if they had inverted the helmet colors I would have rioted.
