Michigan football has been on the road once thus far this year having gone to Seattle to play Washington in what ended up being a 27-17 loss to the Huskies. In that game, the Wolverines went with a more traditional look, having sported white tops with maize bottoms.
On Saturday, the maize and blue head out on the road for the second time this year, set to face No. 21 Illinois in Champaign. The Illini may be sporting alternate uniforms, although there’s some debate as to whether or not they’ll actually wear them.
However, Michigan football is set to sport the traditional white uniform, albeit with one of its alternate looks on Saturday. The Wolverines announced that they will wear white tops with the blue pants, along with white accessories.

Michigan debuted the blue pants on the road in 2021 at Wisconsin. To this point, the Wolverines have yet to lose a game where it has worn white tops and blue pants.
Kickoff is set for 3:40 p.m. EDT at Memorial Stadium in Champaign and the game will be nationally televised on CBS.
