Fanblogs.com: Michigan unveils new uniforms

  • shiguy · 1 year ago
    AW DAMN! someone started that "FIRST" thing up again
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Love the homies, VERY MUCH DISLIKE the roadies.
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    If Rich Rodriguez doesn't like em, he'll be able to throw a little cash into the pot to get em fixed. After all, thanks to MI boosters, he's got a couple extra million to throw around.
  • JB · 1 year ago
    aww, why dont you like the roadies
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    I think the road uniforms are very generic. I mean, if Cal/Pitt/WVU/etc were wearing the jersey... it would be exactly the same thing. I really appreciated the classic Michigan roadie. I think the "tails" are just a little too... modern... for Michigan.
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    Our fashion co-ordinator should be along a little later, Lennie what's your thoughts.......
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    OU Ron...Maizy aka Corny! I have said it before and I will say it again: Michigan needs to get rid of the stripe non-sense on their helmets, PUT a wolverine on the helmet. While Kevin playing I would be happyu if they would put the X-Men's Wolverine and adopt blue pants on the road! That is a big a number one on the home and a small a one on the away. Maizy...aka...Corny!

    Lennie, we need to talk about your approval rating here on fanblogs. It's lower than Bush's and Congress' combined. If this keeps up, we're going to have to kill off your avatar and have him reborn as Lennie, II.

    And no crazy talk about Texas fans doing this to you...
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    War Eagle Atlanta I gives a doggone about approval ratings. If I am not mistaken this so called blog is about opinions. I am not going to say things to get approval. With my opinions I will try to have facts to back them up! If that is not good enough...life for ALL OF YOU is going to go on if I post on this blog or not. My life is going to go on as well if I continue to post on here or not! If I am not not mistaken this is a thread on these doggone Wolverine jerseys not on me being approved or disapprove! Cream & Crimson Solid! Crimson & Cream True! Through & Through!
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    Crimson and Clover, over and over! Wait...That's not one of your cheers, is it?

    Lennie, I think that if you left, Tomcat and 40 Acres would miss you terribly...

    Okay, I just checked Lennie's score again. You guys grow up and act like adults.
  • JB · 1 year ago
    seriously, whats up with that? how do you get those points?
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    War Eagle Atlanta, Crimson & Cream True is not a cheer. It's a pledge to Oklahoma. If Oklahoma does not win the National Championship I will not be content with another Big 12 team "winning it". If I left it would be because I am tired of the nonsense on here. You know it gets boring after a while saying how much you "hate" your team's rivals and make fun of someone else's opinion. I am going to talk football, serious football. If I got to act foolishly to get "approval" points...then keep subtracting. I noticed that last night that the jokesters on here have the highest approval ratings. That's not me. When I feel this blog is getting too silly than I will do like ol' DmanLV and go to another blog and talk football! Is this blog informative? Yes! Is some of these comments not worth while? Yes! I can admit I have post many. I have not one thing against 1Tomcat or 40 Acres of Burnt Orange BUT do you got to post on every single doggone post how much you hate OKLAHOMA?
    1Tomcat bring up a silly comment on EVERY thread something stupid about Oklahoma. You think after a year he would stop but he is getting worse. 40 Acres of Burnt Orange claims how much he hates Oklahoma and he has probably never been there. If he does or does not that's his business BUT to post on every thread, it gets old! If you don't agree about a certain idea then your intelligence or sexually is questioned. I am glad that: Do you think the SEC is the "toughest" conference in football on a job application! I know I would have not gotten hired!1Tomcat, 40 Acres of Burnt Orange, or whoever keep subtracting I could careless. You probably don't have anything going for you so you gots to act silly to get attention. By the way Michigan new uniforms are dull! I am out! Crimson and Cream Solid!

    And I thought I was doing bad back when I was at 0.
  • hricane23 · 1 year ago
    The stripes are "barely visible" on the home blues? Look pretty IN-visible to me.

    But all in all, they could have done worse. And the inside stuff is pretty cool, but I'd like to see it before I pass judgment.
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    They are visible if you click through to some of the larger images. They are the exact same shape & size as the maize stripes, just tone on tone blue.
  • dithridge · 1 year ago
    i like the classic looking home jerseys. if no one mentioned stripes on the home uniform i would just figure they were part of the sewing pattern.
  • JB · 1 year ago
    This is for Lennie, it would respond under his


    I think we are just trying to have some fun around here man, the season hasnt even started yet. there is no football to speak about right now. every comment said about the upcoming season is specualtion and not serious football talk my friend. everything on here so far is opinion based, not facts

    1tomcat and 40 acres... of course they are gonna dog OU... they are texas fans.....its what rivals do Lennie, they taunt the hell out of each other
  • jake · 1 year ago
    I actually like the roadies a lot. One thing I don't like is that the home and road look like different styles because the home jerseys leave out the (what should be maize) stripe.
  • grcunning · 1 year ago
    They need to stop worrying about the uniforms, and get rid of the "Ugly Hats"
  • cdogg · 1 year ago
    Michigan has the best helmets in all of college football. I'm bias because I wore them in highschool (orange helmet/white wings).
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Perhaps you would prefer this version of the "Wolverine" helmet.
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    Kevin, that helmet would look good if there were a picture of Rich Rod pushing a wheel barrow .......
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    LOL!!!!!!
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    I don't know about Rich Rod, but ya got me roll'n with that one.
  • 1Tomcat · 1 year ago
    Hey Ron good one
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    I would be happy if they would put a maize "M" on it! Get rid of those geeked up lines!
  • Ben Prather · 1 year ago
    Those lines are from where the seams were placed in the old leather helmets. That funny wavy thing in the front was a thicker strap of leather.

    I don't think Michigan is going to remove a helmet tradition that goes back to leather.
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    Thanks for dropping some knowledge. Great trivia. That definitely deserves a point.
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    If teams went from canvas pants, leather heather, and sweaters to the modern day uniforms...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Michigan needs to out a fierce looking wolverine or even the X-Men's Wolverine on the helmets and sport blue pants with da white jerseys!
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    That is leather helmets not leather heather. When I start misspelling words that means time to go to sleep! Good Night!
  • Deerwood · 1 year ago
    Let's talk about fooball - what's all this nonsense about fashion...like its going to help UM win games?
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    Deerwood...the thread is about their new uniforms! If it were about how they will preform on the football...none of us on here don't really know! The uniforms are corny!
  • 1Tomcat · 1 year ago
    Beats the heck outa crimson- ones got to coordinate! doggone it
    wolverine is not a passive animal like those teams with minature white clydesdales running around in circles pulling a little red wagon.
    All joking aside the traditional helmets are unique and a great thing that will continue forever.
    Go Wolverines beat OSU somebody has got too
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    Tomcat, normally I'd root with you. But, this year, I don't mind if OSU beats MI. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind if OSU beat MI 7 out of the next 8 years.
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    1Tomcat can't reply to a post without posting something stupid about Oklahoma BUT I post comments about a serious topic and get told about some approval ratings. Maybe War Eagle Atlanta is right, I might go do like DmanLV and find a blog where you can talk football and not deal with so much whackness!
  • 1Tomcat · 1 year ago
    Ya Lennie I guess your right, you see its nothing personal I really dont like the Sooners and you dont like the Horns and thats what makes this country great. You kinda got to take things as they are and just laugh about it.
    The Michigan Uni's are OK by me and those Helmets do have a classic look.
    I had the OK st vs Troy game recorded from last year and though I'd look at it before I deleted it, well it was delayed because of bad weather, so they had Lou Holtz & Mark May talking about Michigan vs Notre Dame wouldnt you know it, both teams were 0-2 and they still had to talk it up.Hey I'm no sports writer,and I know that some of the stuff I put on here might sound stupid to some folks, but at least I'm not trying to promote a game between two 0-2 teams, now thats stupid. You just have to laugh about it man.
    Peace out Lennie
    Hookem-Horns 1-0 vs Michigan
    P.S. I tryed to stay on topic
  • JB · 1 year ago
    I agree, what would college football be without Michigans helmet, its like college football without JoePa
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    ROTFLMMFAO!!! That deserves a point as well.

  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    "pulling a little red wagon...lol.

    It's a schooner Zac! Get it right!
  • 1Tomcat · 1 year ago
    Hey Geauxtigers I really respect coach Tressel and OSU and dont really care who wins the game. I can understand how some WV fans would want OSU to beat coach Rod, probably just as much or more than some other fans.
    BTW I'm the one that said little red wagon, heck I was just casting my line, however it appears that someone else snagged the fish.
    Let me try again, Headlines read after losing to Texas & Ole Miss Pertino leaves and Arkansas hires Barry Switzer. OU loses to TCU,UT,TTech and A&M finishes 1-4 against Texas teams winning by a narrow margin in OT to BU.
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    My mistake on that one 1TC. Point given where it should have been. Zac just got a gift....lol. On the bright side, at least you have them beating the Bears, allbeit (is that one word?) in OT.

  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    And my stance on the uni's is I like the roadies and could take or leave the homies. Pretty much opposite of what I seeing from everyone else so I guess I'll be the loner today. As far as the helmets, they're classics. I love 'em. There's no mistaking who that team is when you see the Maize scallops, for lack of a better word. Penn St's, on the other hand, make me want to kick my dog.

    I've always liked MI's helmets. Unfortunately, they're too easy to imitate; no longer unique.
  • Regan · 1 year ago
    Michigan's helmets are themselves a rip-off of Princeton's helmets of the 1930's.

  • Zac · 1 year ago
    A point to Regan for historical accuracy. I stand corrected and $hit on again. But, that's OK; I don't mind; thanks for letting me knooooow. . .
  • JB · 1 year ago
    FIRST!!!

    I especially like the road ones because the stripes are actually visible... not so much in the past i would like to see something on the blue ones though
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    I like "oo-tee-nee" better than "first".
  • JB · 1 year ago
    hey i mean if you are first you gotta claim
