The jerseys will be the 5th different combo that Michigan has worn this season, a radical change for a program that is historically resistant to change. The team wore its normal maize pants and blue jerseys in the home opener vs. Western Michigan, before trotting out the legacy jerseys for the 'Under the Lights' game vs Notre Dame. They wore standard away jerseys in the road opener vs. Northwestern before surprising everyone, including the players, by coming out in all-white road legacy jerseys against Michigan State in East Lansing.

This latest rendition is similar to the ones worn vs. MSU, without the maize stripes on the shoulder and wearing traditional maize pants instead of the radical white ones worn against the Spartans. They are now for sale at MDen for $60.
