Michigan, Notre Dame ‘retro’ uniforms are finally unveiled

By Graham Watson

Michigan, Notre Dame ‘retro’ uniforms are finally unveiledAt long last the retro uniforms for both Michigan and Notre Dame have been released for the "Under The Lights" game on Sept. 10.

The game marks the first-ever night game at Michigan Stadium and the first primetime game between these two teams since 1990.

The uniforms aren't actually throwbacks like many early reports suggested. Instead, they're labeled as "retro." The Michigan uniform, according to the news release, is "a fusion of uniform design elements from different eras of Michigan football." It's a blue jersey with a quilted stitched design on both the number and the name. The winged helmets will feature each player's number for the first time since the 1960s.

The Notre Dame uniform is a white jersey with green numbers, lettering and stripes on the shoulder. The Irish will wear a shamrock logo on their helmets for the first time since the early 1960s, under the not-so-memorable tenure of coach Joe Kuharich. Also, the years of all of Notre Dame's national title seasons are stitched into the hem of the jersey.

Michigan, Notre Dame ‘retro’ uniforms are finally unveiledInitially, I wasn't a huge fan of the Michigan jerseys, but looking at the photo of the entire uniform put together makes it look kind of snazzy and a little out of Michigan's traditional comfort zone. And of course Notre Dame's just looks classic. I'm pretty sure these uniforms will probably get people more pumped for the game than the actual teams and if that's the case, you can actually purchase your own retro jersey for the low, low price of $80.

And if you're a Michigan fan and really want to get into the spirit, there's an unveiling video on Michigan's official website.

Is this Rich Rod's last contribution?

 

[SHOGUN]

Isnt there a logo on ND's uni? I thought I saw another picture where they showed it.

No logo. Just a shamrock on the helmet.

 

[FirstTimer]

I guess the NC years will also be stiched along the bottom hem of the ND jerseys

 

[Esjay]

Neither one is bad at all. I like Notre Dames a lot, could do without the checkerboard on Michigans shoulders.

Glad to see they didn't go overboard.

 

[JBregz]

They both look real good.

Michigan's is terrible. Its not really a throwback, either, just an amalgamation of past jerseys.

Notre Dame's addidas symbol looks like a pot leaf.

the ND one is actually a throwback for the most part, helmet and jersey.

the Michigan helmet is a throwback ..but yeah, the jersey has nothing to do with their history at all except for the sleeve pattern if they were long sleeves in the 1890s

 

[ram29jackson]

I think you're a wizard...you made the home version of these in a thread awhile back.

well, about as close as you could get , but yes I did because that was the only time they had a helmet logo

I wish you could recreate old navy helmets though? they had a thing for putting stuff in the front of helmets

I cant believe Im going to say this but I really liked the ND ones until that shamrock showed up.

 

[Bear Pand]

ND's unis are nice, green/gold is a good color combination.

 

fuck ND :smug:

Can't wait for Purdue week and your subsequent rant about the Purdue athletics department when the Boilermakers lose. :wub:

 

[Point Blank]

I'm loving Michigans. Are these in NCAA 12 by any chance?

 

[Bear Pand]

We dont even gotta wait. Purdue's AD and coach are both mustache having, non producing, how'd they even get that job - level jackasses.

I use to hate the idea of anything flashy and Oregon's jersey's made me want to vomit. I'm still not a fan of Oregon's but I really appreciate diversity in jersey styles and color schemes. I like both of these jerseys, but I still think VaTech's from last year are the best to come out of the laboratory.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

Yeah those Mich jerseys are legit. I kinda wish the M was replaced by the numbers and the number was where the M was. The yellow stripes are the shoulder are good.

Here it is...first jersey to come in from @adidasUS for the UM game, colors look awesome! http://lockerz.com/s/112611169

This game is gonna rock!

I really like the look of the Michigan jerseys.

The stripes were iffy at first but after I saw them being worn by the players, they look dope. You can hardly tell the M is blocked.
