For the UNIFORMZ crowd...we should be getting the special Jordan logos for the CFP (also...Megacast!)
I don't know why it matters, but I've always noticed the Nike and Jordan (Oklahoma) logos during the CFP are metallic with an outline around them.
Just a reminder for the UNIFORMZ crowd that we should be joining the group who gets the special treatment.
Also, we should get the full ESPN megacast treatment. For the weirdos like me that like to save everything, a reminder that you'll want to record every broadcast. They seem to change every year, but generally speaking we should see the skycam, the in-stadium sounds only, the coaches roundtable/film room, the stats/data center one, they've done one that is a homer broadcast for each team, All-22, and the command center one.
Most are online now, but you should get something different on ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, SEC Network will probably have something. Set your DVRs accordingly.
As someone who goes back and watches games, it would be AWESOME to have different versions.
Speaking of which, I'm thinking about rewatching every win from this season. Not sure if I'll go TV broadcast or BTN60 (more likely). If anyone is interested, I'd be down to set a time and do a "game thread."

Whatever. Blue pants.
December 8th, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
Maize jersey, blue pants
December 8th, 2021 at 11:47 PM ^
Hell no!
December 9th, 2021 at 3:44 PM ^
I find it interesting that it's OK when the hockey team wears it though. I wouldn't mind it.
December 9th, 2021 at 7:25 AM ^
December 9th, 2021 at 8:32 AM ^
We are the home team, so rock that blue on blue.
December 9th, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
Gotta go blue pants if we're the away team. Good with blue jerseys and maize pants if we're home.
I do not feel good with any combination of white and maize or white on white, and obviously my feelings are all that matter on this subject because they will impact the game.
December 9th, 2021 at 11:07 AM ^
There was a rumor (reporting?) that M wanted to go maize-on-maize for PSU, but that the home team nixed that. The all blues have been working so not sure players (who reported have been chosing colors via team vote) would want to rock the boat. But wouldn't be surprised to see full color rush unis in the semifinals.
December 9th, 2021 at 11:33 AM ^
I think all maize was specifically to counter PSU’s white out. The team went all blue for our two biggest home games this year UDub & OSU. I’d expect all blue in the semifinal
December 9th, 2021 at 12:46 PM ^
I really like the blue pants - but i wish there was a hint of maize accent somewhere to tie/coordinate to the helmet just a bit better - maybe a block M on the thigh?
December 8th, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
I do love the megacast
December 8th, 2021 at 11:00 PM ^
Thoughts on the helmets? I like how Indiana goes Red on White and the White on Red. Think Oklahoma may do that too. What about changing the Michigan helmet up one time and going Maize base with the Blue Wings? Just once…
December 8th, 2021 at 11:14 PM ^
WE HAVE THE BEST HELMETS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Now that you can see how bad that idea is, let's forget it was brought up.
December 9th, 2021 at 7:34 AM ^
I'll admit, this looks cool... But we can never tweak the helmets.
December 9th, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
Well, those hypothetical helmets would be the second best helmets in college football but we CANNOT swap them for the BEST helmets in college football. Did I say college football? I met the best helmets in football at any level.
December 9th, 2021 at 12:01 AM ^
Are you high?
December 9th, 2021 at 3:17 AM ^
Eat shit.
December 9th, 2021 at 8:41 AM ^
Mandude, you're drinking too much soy.
December 9th, 2021 at 9:11 AM ^
Da fuck is wrong with you?
Seriously - what the fuck is wrong with you?
Those are the most iconic uniform items in all of sports - around the world. Nothing else even comes close to immediately identifying a team without any question whatsoever.
The fuck are you thinking?
December 8th, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
Honest to god I watch a little bit of this year’s OSU game every day. That way I know at least one good thing will happen.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
Each and everyday!!!
December 9th, 2021 at 1:01 AM ^
I knew I wasn't the only one doing this.
I grew up with dozens of VHS recordings, and would pop in a win over OSU or another close win in a big game from time to time. Its been sad that the last 2 decades have had so few great wins to record and watch over again. I missed that part of fandom a lot.
These days I typically record the game, rewatch on Sunday if its worth it and chuck it to the digital dumpster. But I kept the Washington and OSU games and plan on watching again before our game with Georgia, just for the vibes.
December 9th, 2021 at 8:38 AM ^
I have watched it 5x in full. Will probably watch five more times before next season.
December 9th, 2021 at 11:11 AM ^
I am so glad I am not the only lunatic who does this. And now my 12 year old daughter does too. I've caught her watching all kinds of old games...football, basketball, hockey....on her iPad. Makes me feel like I'm doing at least one thing right.
December 8th, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
Honest to god I watch a little bit of this year’s OSU game every day. That way I know at least one good thing will happen.
Edit: Double post. But fits the theme.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:04 PM ^
I thought it was going to be the same post, but Iowa or Championship Game instead of OSU, lol.
December 8th, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
Which is also true!
December 8th, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
That’s why UM, and any other team who has made the final four in basketball, has a silver tag on the back collar of their jersey. Gold if you’ve won a championship.
Edit to clarify, this is for Jordan branded teams.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:06 PM ^
Everyone has the same metallic one in Football. It's not gold if you've won a championship. Also, it's only for the 3 CFP games.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:40 PM ^
For what it's worth, it's not "metallic", it's "diamond"

December 9th, 2021 at 4:33 AM ^
Was worth a laugh, anyway.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:39 PM ^
You specifically have to have won said championship while wearing their apparel. We don't have gold despite winning in '89 because we weren't Nike sponsored yet.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:04 PM ^
I hope we wear winged helmets
December 8th, 2021 at 10:09 PM ^
Fuck the jumpman logo. We need the Hurdle Man logo instead!!!
December 9th, 2021 at 12:30 AM ^
I'm not really a uniformz guy. While I consider myself a "get off my lawn" type and think blue jersey and maize pants is perfection, the blue pants have a great win streak going. Keep it rolling the rest of the season.
I'm also one who was a huge Jordan fan in my youth and know it would never happen, but how cool would it be if Nike let UM customize jumpman logos with a silhouette of Woodson's MSU interception or Haskins hurdling a fool?
December 8th, 2021 at 10:15 PM ^
I’d like to see us wear those classy maize and blue home uniforms for a change. The ones like Desmond and Woodson wore when they sealed their Heisman’s against OSU.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
Love classic, but honestly, the all Blue just looks dark & mean. Now if we would have lost all our games in all blue, I wouldn't post this. So there's that.
December 8th, 2021 at 10:46 PM ^
100%. I'm not superstitious whatsoever. Give me the maize pants and the blue jerseys. It pops, it's timeless, it's perfect. I don't mind the all blues, I don't mind the away jerseys with the sleeve stripes, but damn, if we win a playoff game I want it to be in the classic home jerseys.
December 9th, 2021 at 4:49 AM ^
I really don't care what jersey we wear when we beat Georgia. Bring back the bumblebees, as long as we win I won't care.
December 9th, 2021 at 12:03 AM ^
I'd like to see us wear whatever pants the kids want to. They've earned the right to pick.
December 9th, 2021 at 7:44 AM ^
Nope get over it. Blue Pants
December 8th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Same uniforms we wore against UW and OSU please.
December 9th, 2021 at 12:04 AM ^
Given that we are on the road against UW and at home vs OSU, that isn't possible.
December 9th, 2021 at 7:32 AM ^
Washington
not wisconsin
December 8th, 2021 at 10:52 PM ^
"Don't ever fuck with a winning streak."
-Crash Davis
Don't even wash those uniforms.
