Ann Arbor – Michigan is going all maize for its season opener against Florida.
Both teams will wear an “alternate” uniforms at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, Michigan and Nike announced Monday.
This will be the second time Michigan has worn an all-maize uniform. The Wolverines wore a maize jersey with blue numbers against Navy in 1928.
Florida, also a Nike school, will wear a blue uniform with blue accessories.
While it’s a significant departure from Michigan’s traditional uniform, the players said they love it.
“It’s something different,” fullback Henry Poggi said Monday.
