Michigan Thursday: Jimmy Bringing The Old School Back

Jim Harbaugh is clearly bringing back the old school Michigan uniforms and gear.  

The first step was bringing back the skinny M on the coaches hat: (you can note the differences in the M in the below picture from the hat to the sweatshirt)

There also has been a discussion about white socks and black shoes but many players wore maize and blue socks for the Spring Game.    There is also a trend to bring back the darker maize color vs. the highlighter yellow which you can also see in the hat vs. the sweatshirt above. 

Now comes an example of a very simple away jersey:

That looks more like a sleeveless t-shirt then it does an away jersey.   Some readers at Mgoblog have pointed out there isn't any numbers on the shoulders which make it easier for the TV viewer and the pants seems to be old "highlighter" yellow.   So I'm wondering if this is the final product?  This looks like a practice jersey to me.  On a side note, that manikin has been spending some time in weight room!

Here is an example of last years away jersey for comparison:

  • Scouts Sam Webb is saying Michigan has a silent commit from a 4 star prospect.   I don't have any information on who it might be, but my best guess is Penn State commit DB Lavert Hill or OL Terrance Davis.
