Will we see more alternate uniforms this year?
It seems like the reception to the all-blue uniforms was mostly positive so I'm curious to see if they'll do alternate uniforms for another game this year. Since we were introduced to the all-blue during recruiting visits, I could see them wearing blue pants with a white top for a road game or maybe blue pants with a maize top. Would you want to see another alternate uniform this season, or wait for next season, and which of these or others would you want to see? I've seen some alternate helmet designs too but I don't think we're ready for those yet...although the block M and Michigan flag concepts are tempting.

Maybe

Blue pants are for communists

OP’s account only 2 weeks old, “Non-Alum Fan”, uniform post. Hmm - is this WD?
Under suspicion…
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:46 PM ^
Nah... he's an alum now.
Then again, it could be... well played, WD.
September 23rd, 2021 at 12:48 AM ^
Welcome back, WD!!!! I thought the same thing when I saw all those helmet variations in the link. He’s got to be back. Go blue!
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:10 PM ^
God I hope not.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
White out for the PSU game, of course.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:18 PM ^
I have to confess I’ve never, until now, appreciated how well done your avatar is. Bravo.
September 22nd, 2021 at 5:08 PM ^
I did get a bit overboard with MS Paint a few years ago.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:23 PM ^
Man, I got downvoted to hell for saying what you said.
I'm glad you're getting your points.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:11 PM ^
I like these uniforms best.
September 22nd, 2021 at 8:53 PM ^
I think most fans would agree this classic look is the #1 uniform combo but I for one really like the all blue look as a #2 combo and I'd even prefer the all maize combo over all white.
September 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 AM ^
Neg away, but I cannot stand the all white uniforms. So boring. How can the same team have the best and worst uniform in all of college football?
September 23rd, 2021 at 8:55 PM ^
The colors are Maize and Blue not Maize and Blue and White. I say they lose the white entirely....
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:12 PM ^
You can go to Denny's. Wear a hat.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:15 PM ^
I really like the white on white road unis but it wouldnt bother me a bit if we rolled out the maize pants/white top for the MSU game.
Please for the love of God and all things holy no maize on maize and we've already done the blue on blue.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:25 PM ^
The maize on maize is horrendous. The only thing worse was the bumble bee uniform we wore for the MSU game that one year.
September 22nd, 2021 at 8:25 PM ^
Firm disagree. The maize on maize was rough, but at least it looked put together. those bumble bees at MSU were just on a whole different level of crappy. They had no cohesion at all.
September 22nd, 2021 at 9:09 PM ^
I personally also hated the 2012 Alabama uniforms.
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:12 PM ^
Didn't we do maize on maize for the Florida kick-off game 2017?
It was a good contrast with the Florida uniforms as I recall.
Kind of different. Don't want to do either blue on blue or maize on maize very often.
DO NOT EVER DO AN ALTERNATE HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:48 PM ^
Our goal should never be to contrast with an opposing team's uniforms. The only exception to this would be for both UM and OSU to wear home uniforms for all games, regardless of venue.
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:58 PM ^
I think USC/UCLA do this, and it totally works.
September 22nd, 2021 at 5:14 PM ^
Oh yeah, the game we couldn't see the jersey numbers.
September 22nd, 2021 at 5:31 PM ^
2013 Outback Bowl. Those were the worst uniforms the team ever wore.
September 22nd, 2021 at 6:13 PM ^
Adidas mixes with football like oil and water.
September 22nd, 2021 at 6:36 PM ^
I always end up liking the alternate unis if we win the game. So I liked them all so far except for bumblebees and no-number jerseys lol
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
I'm a big fan of tradition, but with that said, I also embrace change. Recruits today like the alternate uniforms. I must say I really loved the blue on blue. As long as its clean and crisp looking and not too outlandish (like the bumble-bee uniforms) I'm down. I like the blue pants and maize too...why not try it......Most importantly....JUST WIN!!! I don't care if they sport pink uniforms....Just win.
P.S- But please don't mess with the best helmet in all of football. It's a masterpiece on its own.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:26 PM ^
Meh, I think it's either go big or go home with this. Go nuts like Oregon and Miami and get recruits hyped, or don't touch it at all, and sell them on the prestige of the jersey.
Anything in between, like blue pants, is not going to compete against what other schools are rolling out.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:32 PM ^
Yeah, but you have to admit the blue on blue looked really good. The recruits loved it. I still really love the traditional uniform best.
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:57 PM ^
Can we PLEASE get the USC vs UCLA set up of both teams wearing home uniforms. That looks soooo good and is very unique.
September 22nd, 2021 at 5:48 PM ^
I don’t buy the “recruits” argument. Now, if players like a uniform and that’s a plus, fine. But Alabama never changes their uniforms and they recruit fine.
We have the best uniforms in college football. We don’t need to spice them up to make them look cool.
I don’t object to occasional variety if it’s only rare. If Washington was the only alt home uni, and they have a base road uniform that they occasionally vary, that’s fine. But recruits aren’t coming because we wore blue pants once or twice.
September 22nd, 2021 at 6:19 PM ^
That's of course your opinion...
When your winning national championships every year, or at least a top 4 playoff team, you don't need to change anything up to bring attention to your program. Teams that need to spice things up for your program, like cool new uniforms, seems to catch their attention. Just look on twitter... the recruits always mention the new uniforms.
I do however agree we have the best uniforms.
September 22nd, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Harabigh actually changed the swoosh pattern slightly. And I think Hoke added the M on the front that I wish they'd ditch.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:19 PM ^
I like the first one and that's about it, I wouldn't mind seeing a chrome look with our iconic colors.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:19 PM ^
Maize pants, white or blue top. Literally all of our alternates have looked worse than the base uniforms.
Hate the all white away uni's that harbaugh brought back.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:30 PM ^
Maze pants? No thank you.
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:07 PM ^
That poor lady. I wonder how she lost her hand.
Edit: Ironically, the tattoo on her abdomen says, “CLEAN HANDS.”
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:49 PM ^
I bet the Minotaur ate it.
September 22nd, 2021 at 10:12 PM ^
This should get way more upvotes. +1
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:07 PM ^
Hah, yeah, that would be a nightmare. Hopefully the equipment people arent on the same cocktail of medications when picking uniforms.
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:50 PM ^
I almost have this solved - can you have her turn around?
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
So with you. Hate, hate, hate the all white road jerseys. How do I say this tactfully? We look, and play, like weak little bitches in them. Blue or maize pants with the white top is great.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
I would not be upset if we never see the all-maize again. I'm ok with the all-blue once/yr.
I don't think there is a better jersey in sports than Michigan's home maize/blue. But I do like the all-white road unis -- clean look.
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:18 PM ^
I would ditch the stripes on the away jersey and pants
September 22nd, 2021 at 4:42 PM ^
This! I'm with ya. What a great look all white with no stripes and the only maize being on the best helmet ever.
Also, I don't like any outline to any numbering. Solid number on solid color jersey = perfect.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:20 PM ^
i may wear a different colored banana hammock for the Michigan State game.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
although the block M and Michigan flag concepts are tempting.
September 22nd, 2021 at 3:27 PM ^
I’m generally anti maize jersey. Looks too much like WVU uniforms, which are an eye sore IMO
