Michigan vs. Florida: Uniform Snowflakes

Submitted by LebronJames on
Wasn't too sure how these would look. I was pleasantly surprised and it looked like Michigan out there. I wouldn't mind seeing these again in the future. Go Blue!

Some blue piping or something like the helmet wings on the shoulder would have made them better. I liked them more than I thought I would but would prefer to never ever see them again.

Obviously, our regular unis are the best but the aren't heinous. The Fab Five did this back in the day. Sprinkled here and there, I'd be fine with these. Actually like them better than the all white unis.

Old guy here too. I didn't like what I saw on the internet earlier in the week. But they weren't so bad for a non bowl game, brutal site. I thought it would be too much yellow or too much "West Va" but it was better plain, no piping.

I thought maybe a block M on the v neck may help. As long as they don't mess with the helmet. They can break these out away from home once every 4 years so the players get a chance to wear them. It's really all about the players anyway.

So we wore yellow. The sun will rise tomorrow. I'm just glad we won.

My problem is they I don't like one-off money grab uniforms. If this is the only time they wear them then I officially don't like them. If those turn out to be the road unis for the season then I could live with it.

I love both of our school's colors. I also love the best football helmet in the world and our normal home and road uniforms. I believe we should never wear alternate uniforms at home regardless of color. However, the all maize look was awesome, and should be used every now and then for future neutral site games that are not the playoff. In the future, more blue can be worked in to add a little bit more interest, as in a blue strip on the side of the pants. I think the whole color rush thing probably limited the design.

1) We saw them actually on the field so they seemed better than the pictures from the initial announcement.

2) Since it's Air Jordan, they were high quality uniforms that were actually maize. If it were Adidas, the story would have been different.

3) And most of all, we played well in them and won.

Obviously it's a horrible idea that was executed as best as it possibly could have been executed.

But that doesn't mean it's not a horrible idea anymore. I NEVER want to see these again unless we are at a neutral site during the regular season and we absolutely HAVE to wear alternates.

Thought I hated them til I saw them today n they weren't bad. The one think Dave Brandon and Brady Hoke did well was give us those bumble bee uniforms so that all future alternate uniforms would at least look ok

I went from "gross" to "not as bad as I thought they'd be" to "they're growing on me". I'm sure the win helped but even in loss i wouldn't want them burned at the stake anymore. I highly prefer our whites but I could live with wearing those again! Maybe PSU? If not then we should definitely bring back traditional aways for the white-out at PSU. I no longer hated them by game time, think they're ok now. Not great but ok.

I didn't mind them but I'd rather have the blue pants and maize jersey or all blue with the maize shoes. There's something about dark uniforms that just makes you feel tougher and faster. You move different because you feel cockier and darker. Hard to explain unless you play sports in dark colors.

I'd like to see them try all blue again. The last time they did it, the striped lettering looked kinda dumb. The maize ones looked fresh and not highlighter-like (as another poster mentioned).

They are even better when the result is a whoopin so I'm for it as an occasional change of pace since the team is on a whoopin trajectory and doesn't need to do this to 'stay relevant.'

The blue is iconic though so I'd like to see more of that.

Liked the all blues pretty well when they did them, didn't mind the throwback whites either.

The maize doesn';t bother as much as the horrible purple/ tryingtoohardtobebutch black that was used instead of blue.
