What a rapper generation. These were never Michigan jerseys so why call them retro. Only thing retro is how Adidas is going to take fools money. Why not just wear blue? When this generatiopn wants something, it simply copies the past like the rapper woodstock or the pearl habor movie where we won

These uniforms are ugly! I feel sorry for the players and coaches! I am very disappointed in Brandon. I think he is searching for a way to make money. And this has just backfired on him...... Similar to the way the 'legends and leaders' names for the new divisions has also missed the mark. Or, let's to go back several years,to the way the yellow halos tarnished the appearance of the stadium. I'll be rooting for the maize n blue...while, being appalled, by the sight of the uni's, at the same time! Davie, Davie, Davie..all you had to do was settle on an old team, and just use their jerseys. I would have supported 1969, or 1948, for example. That is all you needed to do. But this is ridiculous.

These look like something that a rugby team or a football team in the WLAF would wear, just leave them as is.

Has anyone bought their Jersey yet? If so, could you post what the tag says, made in china? Just curious... I know it's about making a huge chunk of change from Adidas and all, but wouldn't it be sweet to see jerseys worn by our sports teams to say Made in USA? Or better yet, Made in Michigan, USA? Not only would it support our Great State with Jobs and tax revenue but it would send an important message to the Students attending all the schools- from pee-wee football to the college level that you Should see Made in USA or Made in Michigan on the tag every time they put it on. That could be an easy and effective way promoting buying from within, even if it costs a few bucks more, to get the Quality Product and pumping money back into Your local system that in turn generates taxes to help fund your education, roads, etc.... I'm sure some will post that it's not Capitalistic enough and all, to not pay the lowest price possible for junk ( in my opinion ) to have an extra few bucks in their pockets to spend on other crap, but it's time we all start pitching in by buying locally. -end of rant.... P.S The jersey's don't look as "Dainty" as I expected. Go Blue

I like them! Just enough to deliver the feeling of retro without looking hideous. Go Blue! Beat Notre dame!

Not bad - so long as the Wolverines play like THIS IS MICHIGAN, I'll be celebrating no matter what the uniforms look like. I think there are some fine young men and possibly great players IN those uniforms.
