The Wolverines take the field for Week 10 on Saturday, hosting the formidable Oregon Ducks, who are ranked as the No. 1 team in the country. Yet, the maize and blue aren’t going to the well as it pertains to the jersey combo.
Usually, when a top team comes to Ann Arbor, you can expect Michigan football to break out the ‘big game blues’ which feature the traditional blue jersey and blue pants. However, the Wolverines announced on Friday afternoon that it will be wearing the traditional uniform with a blue top and maize pants with the Ducks coming to town on Saturday. But one change is that Michigan will be wearing blue accessories instead of maize or white.

Oregon will be wearing special uniforms as well, featuring an all-white look. Thus far this year, Michigan is undefeated at home while wearing maize pants, as the Wolverines wore the ‘big game blues’ against u, the sole home loss thus far this year.
