Except the gloves, that actually looks like unis Michigan has worn many times before - specifically during the 1950s and at the turn of the last century. You're right. Not new but last worn in 1928 I believe I read. The point was, something a little different than what has been done for the past 50 years or so. If one of the "blue blood" programs can shake up the uniform rotation a little bit I'm not sure why we shouldn't try it. I don't want to be wearing camo or other weird stuff but new variations with our traditional colors would be kind of cool every now and then.

Just don't see the big whoop about wearing a different uni a couple of times a year. And I don't see the big whoop with not jumping on the alt-uni bandwagon.

Harbaugh isn't big on tradition or brand prestige though. He is the most gimmicky coach in the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree , but he's Michigan thru and thru and played for Schembechler so I bet he wouldn't be cavalier about doing different unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said maybe wear them for Georgia and trash them if we don't win. We tried this already. In 1980. Against Georgia. Orange jerseys. We lost. We trashed them. That's all I was saying.

I can't help but wonder if it would mess with the QB's eyes.. Auburn's away uniforms are the best in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kd4au 1,145 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 When you have something that is as near perfect as an Auburn uniform you may tweak it but you don't need to overhaul it,so I say NO. IMO we have the best looking unis in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Instead of changing jerseys what about a white out and wear our all whites at home. Throw some orange shakers in there and boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is (relatively) important to alumni. We shouldn't be getting into the trendy uniform war. We're about bringing your lunch and work. Hard work. I understand your point of view. I think we may disagree on the impact of wearing 1 different jersey every ~13 games has on tradition though. I personally see more value in appeasing the young men wearing the jerseys for millions to see every once in a while over some guys yelling at them from their couches (I'm certainly included in this group lol). We can still be about hard work and switch jerseys up every now and then I actually fail to see the real life correlation between the 2. If the players want it I'm for it -- doesn't need to be a wholesale change all the time just something to keep the players amped up once a year. We can agree to disagree, young sir!

aujeff11 6,243 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think reasonable changes can be that are in good taste and that complements our traditional uniforms very well. Like orange facemasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Jumped the shark" is term referencing the television show Happy Days when Fonzy literally jumped over a shark . How is that referencing bestiality? As for the thread topic, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Our unis are so freaking good. Meanwhile, those Michigan and Florida color rush unis are just the dirt worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
