The Michigan Wolverines kickoff their new season on August 30th against Utah in new NCAA football jerseys, courtesy of their new licensing agreement with Adidas.

The authentic game jerseys will be very similar to those of the past.  The home uniforms will feature blue jerseys with solid maize numbers on the chest and on the biceps.  However, the road jerseys are less traditional than the home uniforms.

This year the football jerseys are white with blue numbers outlined in maize on the chest and biceps, thin maize stripes between the shoulder and the upper chest, and thicker, more pronounced stripes beginning in the middle outside the numbers and wrapping around the side, forming dual tails in the back.  The stripes on the home jersey are all in blue, so they are barely visible.

On this NCAA football jersey will also be a sticky strip that says Go Blue across the bottom to hold the jersey in the player’s pants.  The inspirational message of legendary Wolverine coach, the late Bo Schembechler’s, “Those who stay will be champions,” is embroidered along the inside hem of the jersey. Silicone prints of the 42 Big Ten championships won by Michigan are located on the inside shoulder panels to serve as a reminder to players of their role in the Wolverine’s football history.

But, don’t get too excited, the replica jerseys are a completely different design than the authentic NCAA football jerseys.
