Michigan football has been on the road the past two games and thus wearing white tops with different colored pants.
At Washington in Week 6, the Wolverines opted for maize pants and in Week 8 at Illinois last week, Michigan wore blue pants (and lost for only the first time with the white top-blue pants combo). Now the maize and blue return to The Big House where they’ll face in-state rival Michigan State in the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy.
And with that, they’ll don a more traditional look.
According to the official Michigan football X account, the Wolverines will wear blue tops with maize pants and white accessories in the showdown against the fellow 4-3 Spartans.
It’s not clear, but it appears that MSU is likely to be wearing all white with green helmets, according to a couple of posts on its official X account.
Michigan has won two straight against MSU and hope to make it a third straight. However, nearly every first-year head coach for the Wolverines has lost their first game as a head coach against the in-state rival. Sherrone Moore hopes to buck that trend as he works to create more cohesion in a Michigan offense which has been struggling all year, but more so as of late.
The game will kick off at 7:40 p.m. EDT at Michigan Stadium and will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.
