Looks a bit familiar, other than the pre-Barwis physique below.

What I'm afraid of is that those stripes on the side wrap around the back the same way the piping did and you really see two ends of the same stripe. What crap. I don't mind little changes here and there (at least to the road jersey) but certain uniforms shouldn't be experimentation grounds for the latest fad in wacky stripes.

Stop me if you've heard this before but thats what happens when you bring in outsiders who don't have any respect or understanding for the way things have been done in the past.

First of all not so much, because Nike had been the uniform provider for I dunno how long - about 15 years or so - and put the stupid piping on anyway, and quite recently. Second, I'm sure you wouldn't be insinuating our coach had anything to do with it.

I would be livid if they tried to put those ridiculous tarzan stripes on our uniforms, it looks like a MAC/Conference USA/Big East uniform. Blech. There was a ton of bitching when they redesigned our unis 2 years ago, but at least it was an updated version of an old design. Those road jerseys would make me physically ill.

You honestly think the coach couldn't put a stop to any uniform changes he didn't like?

This is a trival matter but it is a part of a larger pattern.

Really? You're defense is "What if it was you?" Come on, give me a break. It isn't us, we try to hire coaches that know the traditions, colors, and what it is to be the coach at THE Ohio State University.

That's a weak defense, wait... we're talking about tsun, so I guess that's pretty common.

That's not even close to what I'm saying, and Jax knew it.

Lloyd didn't put a stop to the piping. So what pattern do you see?

Wait a minute.... I was reading back to try and figure out where all this uni discussion started and suddenly I realized #55 is a Michigan player. When I saw Jwin's post above, I didn't realize that #55 was a Michigan man. That is to say, when I saw the uni, I assumed it was a West Virginia kid under the Smiley.

And... for what it's worth, Nike doesn't just unilaterally decide "Hey, [insert major college client], we're changing your shit. Don't like it? Tough" Some one at Michigan signed off on that.

Great info, thanks for taking the time to share it.

At DE, it's an interesting scenario.. We're fighting USC for two DEs (Not including Kennard because that's a pipedream so no point including him. But it's for Craig Roh and Kennan Graham, both have family in Michigan/ have visited Michigan. We trail for both, but it'd be in Michigan's best interest to have Kennard commit to USC and hopefully cause one of the others to fall to Michigan. USC had 5 DEs last year, and will have 5 DEs this year including 3 true freshman, so I don't know how many there taking, but it'd nice to get both Graham and Roh at Michigan. We're also starting to move on more under the radar prospects, so that's something we'll hear about later.

What I realistically expect to get in the D-End class is one of Roh and Graham, and a surprise recruit like a Jason Ankrah, then maybe a sleeper who earns an offer during the upcoming season.

LB is a helluva lot easier. We're looking to take whoever commits first out of Jordan Barnes, Julius Ferrell (if we offer him at camp this week), and DeDe Lattimore out of Georgia. The staff are higher on the first two, so it's probably between them. I heard we're only looking for one LB, since we had an excellent crop last year, but if we can pull in a LB who has the frame to potentially put his hand on the ground we'd take 2.

Hope that helps for you, buddy.

To protect against Spencer_ legal action, #55 is in no way a Michigan man.

True. Probably the same person who signed off on the Nike piping.

When they first debuted, I thought those "diaper" cuts were going to be more embarrassing. Both turned out to be hardly visible.

I think the design looks cheap (and may just be a replica jersey used for that event), but it's not terrible in general. It's just too cheap for a school like UM, and an abomination considering it's similarities to the painfully divorced WVU.
