Get StartedThe all white were from my time at Michigan so I like it because it places more emphasis on the helmet.
They were only worn for two seasons. Not much history with them.
from the article:
"Q. Will your team be wearing the all-white uniforms at Utah, which has been speculated? A. Yes, they will be wearing the all-white uniforms. That's the choice we made. I like them. It's the first one I remember. It's what I remember the team wearing in '74 and '75, and I know they were wearing them against Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl.They wore the all-white unis from '73-'75; '73 was Jack Harbaugh's 1st year there. Jim Hackett also played then, I think.
Q. What was it about those uniforms that you liked?
A. I just liked them. There's really not that much to peel the onion back on with that, but I did like them."
It's not because they're iconic in Michigan lore or some testament to a particular era
Actually Harbaugh says that that is exactly what it is.
It's the era when Harbaugh became a Michigan football fan.
The first unis he remembers.
The first year that Jack was on the staff.
It would have been Jim's first year in Ann Arbor and he would've been starting fourth grade.
I meant they're not some special jersey or being made to be special, they're our jerseys because coach likes them. It's an iconic era to Jim as a kid, yes.
