    September 10th, 2011 -- Notre Dame versus Michigan -- Special Throwback Unis

    Darren Rovell of MSNBC just posted the following pictures of the retro uniforms that will be worn by Notre Dame and Michigan for their September 10th, 2011 game at Michigan Stadium.

    More pictures of the Michigan uniform:





    Gutsy call putting numbers on the sides of those helmet designs.

    I'm in that camp too; I just wish that the Michigan uniform was more restrained in terms of the shoulder striping. Feels too busy compared to the Notre Dame uniform, which gets the shoulder stripes just about right.

    Really like the clover logo on the Notre Dame helmets; gutsy call to put numbers on the Michigan helmet but the stripes eliminate space for "TV numbers" on the sides of the uniform so they kinda had to do that.

    Okay, nevermind about the Michigan helmet numbers being "gutsy"; apparently that's just how they used to be back in the day:



    Same for the Notre Dame helmet logo:

    I didn't see either of them in any of the Community Event builds--and I used Michigan quite a bit--and both schools were really hardcore about keeping these under wraps until the official announcement tonight. It's pretty late in the cycle, but I never rule anything out anymore. Just don't bet your life savings on seeing them in the game.

    Those are sexy. I like them better than their usual jersey's I'd make a few tweaks and make them my full time jerseys. The M on the front big like that is just sick.

    I like them except for what I can best describe as the sawtooth design in the Michigan M and numbers.

    Oh, and I despise the colors as general principle.

    And the block M.

    But other than that, I like them.

    On a serious side note ... anybody find it funny that those are Adidas jerseys and yet the photoshoot looks distinctly Pro Combat-like?

    these are embelishment type throwbacks, but it looks like they are going further back with Mich. than they are with ND

    Michigan looks like they are trying to cross a 1950s helmet with a 30's 40s' jersey

    I do like the uniforms. I wasn't sure at first but they are growing on me.

    1891 is the closest to it..the Mich helmet actually happened in the 50s but the jersey is just embelished crap..more revisionist history in my opinion

    here's some more history
