I like them. The lyrics to "Hail to the Victors" is a unique touch. I've never been a big fan of changing the uniform. SO FAR, Michigan has done a pretty decent job with the 3 alternates last year and this. The uniforms vs. Michigan State weren't that great though.

Yeah not bad, Adidas seems to do a pretty good job on unis. Still not a fan of Michigan, Ohio State, changing stuff for the sake of changing

I just don't get it. Find a ride. Catch a cab. Too much on the line to fuck up like that.

For real. He's the only Michigan player I've ever rooted for. Well Ikey Bell too but he quit before getting playing time.

Fitz is by far my favorite player. And he was poised for a huge season. Any guesses on how long they'll sit him?

Do like my HS did with their star running back for the same thing and suspend him for the 2 pre season scrimmages.

If I had guess now, just the opener and one rough pre-season camp. Fitz hasn't been in any trouble, so he has that going for him.

They said he was entirely cooperative, too. Just a dumb decision, but at least he realizes it.

I like them because they did something different than just the letter logo. I don't think any other school has a song/phrase that defines/is so identifiable than "Hail to the Victors" is to Michigan. It makes them unique.

Right...cause ND's "Wake up the Echos" isn't identifiable.......

I'm a huge ND fan and Hail To the Victors is much more identifiable outside of that team's fanbase than Wake Up the Echoes. If you had gone with "Play Like a Champion Today" you may have had an argument

I'm not saying it's not, but how often do you hear a ND fan yell "Wake up the Echos" as opposed to some other cheer/chant?

Michigan pretty much has 2 things "Go Blue" and "Hail to the Victors"

Fitz may get a big suspension...didnt Stonum get a year on his first offense? Also saw Frank Clark (DE) arrested for burglary...he will be done for good.

Maybe someday UofM football will be relevant and will get a Nike contract again.

I honestly can't remember if Stonum had other issues before that though. I'm getting annoyed that because I can't remember Michigan football players getting in trouble like this before (This is 3 within a what 6 months?). I don't remember this happening during Carr's years. Hoke needs to do something; I'm not sure what but something.

I believe Stonum had prior history. It was the 3rd one that got him booted for good.

Nike unis are better, but I like Adidas throwbacks and alts better.
