There was a ton of talk about the uniforms leading up to Michigan's thrilling win over Ohio State on Tuesday, and for good reason. Both looks, let's just say, made bold fashion statements, as Michigan's adidas monochromatic look could blind someone and Ohio State's Nike Hyper Elite uniform could be mistaken for a practice jersey. Once the game tipped off, the talk got even better, even funnier.
Here are the uniforms:

We need Michigan State also in this game as the Relish to balance it out.

The Nike uniforms look like something a team would wear during practice, not actual games. The Adidas uniforms are just terrible.

For what it's worth, the jerseys are much more tolerable in person than on the TV, where they look much brighter

You can't see the names on the backs of Michigan's uniforms. I think I've tweeted that before. Oh yeah, I have…. Outback Bowl…round 2.
