Just a bit of Michigan historical football trivia which might interest you: Michigan (unless I’m missing something) has not lost a game to a New England school since 1914, 101 years. Not all that many games, but still quite an accomplishment. Longer, I believe, than Ohio State’s boast about not losing to an Ohio school since ?

Awesome stuff! I know a lo of people hated this, but it nevertheless happened – I saw mention of metallic flake being added to the maize wings for most of 2013-2015, but I didn’t see mention of the metallic flake being added to the blue paint. This was done for the 2013 UTL II game with Notre Dame (most likely to reflect the lights), and only this game. Eric Upchurch has a good up close photo from the game:

Also (I’m a lover of helmet stickers), here’s a pic I thought you might enjoy of an original 1994 helmet sticker (top) with an original 2015 sticker (bottom):

The new matte/satin helmet looks great. These are without a doubt the best uniforms we’ve had since 2006.

Thanks man – no, I hadn’t heard that before you brought it up. I added this

One small note: the jerseys for the 1994 Holiday Bowl vs. Colorado State were made by Wilson, the only time I can ever recall Michigan wearing Wilson-made jerseys. Ironically, the pants were the legacy Russell Athletic ones worn that season. I have no idea why UM wore Wilson for that game but it probably had to do with Russell’s expiring contract and the upcoming deal with Nike for the 1995 season. You can see the evidence here (logo above the tv numbers):

Interesting man, thank you! Let me dig around to see if I can verify and find out more..

The least known manufacturer of Michigan jerseys is Sand Knit, a company in Wisconsin that made NFL uniforms for years. They are now known as Ripon Athletic.

WHY is the American Flag never worn in years?
I love UM football since the late 1940s and love my country. I know they were it when Brady Hoke was coach.
GO BLUE!
