Michigan will be HOME and occupy the SOUTH sideline bench.

Let the uniform speculation begin.

I dont like it, but I suspect the players will want the all-blue uniforms.  Meh.  For our home uniforms, I prefer tradition.  I prefer the home uniforms they have worn for 50+ years.  Blue shirts, yellow pants.  The greatest sports uniform in the history of American athletics.

 

Considering UM's success vs OSU in the all-blue uniforms, the players will likely want to repeat that uniform.  Oh well.

a.)  how do you know which bench, is it always home team = south bench?

b.)  what significant, if any, to the 'SOUTH' sideline bench?  sounds fantastic.  maybe.

c. )  the only uniform speculation will be blue or maize pants.  tradition vs. the 2021 'ju-ju in blue'.

I prefer our maize pants with the blue jersey, but the all-blue look doesn't bother me, especially for a night game.  We just need a big maize M on the pants.

I think I actually prefer the blue pants on our road uniforms.  There has never been enough blue in those.  

I like that the team has gone to mixing up the pants for their "alternate" looks.  The idiocy that was the Adidas years was just awful.  Mixing up pants colors allows the kids to have some fun without really messing with the uniforms enough to make us stop looking like "Michigan".

I think the pants colors have been selected to have the most contrast to the crowd background color.  So you had maize pants/sleeves vs the Penn State white out, all blue vs maize background for The Game, and blue pants against the maize / Iowa yellow  in Indy.  I like that they are trying to work any advantage,  I’d say all blue again in Miami with a large maize wearing Michigan crowd.

Ought to let Georgia wear home uniforms too if they want to.  Plenty of contrast there.

In fact the other three teams in the playoffs all have pretty similar uniforms, just different shades and accents.

I always wanted to see the look with the blue pants but with the uniform otherwise clean and traditional.  I really like the look and the pleasant surprise of how the team plays wearing them.  I am hoping it becomes are permanent part of the uniform.

Before the season started I woulda frowned at blue pants, but the main determinant of what makes uniforms look good is what you do in them.  If they had beaten aOSU 61-7 wearing leopard print yoga pants with an M codpiece, Id be fine with wearing that forever.  Let’s Go Blue (Pants)

Our home all-blues against Georgia's away white jerseys and grey pants will look a lot like the Michigan - Ohio State game.  

Heh.
