Michigan’s uniform combinations in EA Sports College Football 25 revealed
It’s hard to remember the last time a video game was as highly anticipated as EA Sports College Football 25 has been. The hype perhaps hasn’t reached the level of Halo or Call of Duty back in their heyday, but after an 11-year hiatus the excitement has reached a fever pitch.
Fortunately, every footage and detail we’ve gotten glimpses of appear to show that the game is well worth the wait, and that includes a plethora of uniform combinations for every school. Whichever your favorite threads you’ve seen Michigan wear in recent years will be available to players, as was revealed on Sunday.
If you’re a traditionalist, like me, you’ve got your classic Blue jersey and Maize pants home look and the White jersey, Maize pants road uniforms. Of course, in recent years Michigan has made the “Big Game Blues” combination a fan favorite, in no small part because the Wolverines have beaten Ohio State twice and won the 2023 national championship while wearing the combo. Those who choose to play Michigan in the game can also don the “All Whites” road combination, or mix it up with the White jersey and Blue pants. And, finally, the “All Maize” uniforms also made their way into the game, despite receiving mixed reviews from the Michigan faithful when they debuted in 2017 against Florida. Personally, the all-maize combination was a misfire in my book.
Our managing editor here at Michigan Wolverines On SI— Chris Breiler — has a uniform combination he’s anxious to see the Wolverines in this fall as well. But, unfortunately, it’s unclear whether it will be possible to don the combo in EA Sports College Football 25 or not. For a glimpse at that combination, click here.

The Classic Look: Blue Jersey and Maize Pants
This is the iconic Michigan uniform combination that has been around for decades. It’s a timeless look that represents the tradition and history of the program. The blue jersey with the maize “M” on the chest and the maize pants with the blue stripes are a classic sight that evokes memories of legendary Michigan players and teams. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just starting to get into the Wolverines, there’s no denying the appeal of this classic combination.
The blue and maize combination is not just a visual delight; it’s also a symbol of Michigan’s identity. The bright maize color, inspired by the cornfields of the state, represents the Wolverines’ strong connection to their roots. The blue, on the other hand, symbolizes the vastness of the Great Lakes, representing the Wolverines’ ambition and drive to conquer any challenge. It’s a truly perfect blend of tradition and ambition, making it a favorite among fans and players alike.
This classic look is not just about nostalgia; it’s about the enduring power of a design that has stood the test of time. It’s a look that evokes a sense of pride and tradition, reminding us of the legacy of Michigan football. This is the combination that will be on display when Michigan takes the field at The Big House, and it’s a look that will never go out of style.
The Modern Twist: White Jersey and Blue Pants
While the classic blue and maize combination is a timeless favorite, Michigan has also experimented with different uniform combinations in recent years. One such combination is the white jersey and blue pants, which has become increasingly popular among fans. This modern twist on the traditional look offers a fresh perspective while still maintaining the core elements of the Michigan uniform.
The white jersey with the maize “M” on the chest provides a clean and crisp look, while the blue pants add a touch of color and contrast. This combination is often seen as a more aggressive and modern look, reflecting the evolving style of the Michigan football program. It’s a combination that is both visually appealing and represents the program’s commitment to innovation.
Perhaps the most significant reason for the popularity of the white jersey and blue pants combination is its ability to stand out on the field. The white jersey stands out against the green grass, making it easy for fans to follow the action. The blue pants provide a vibrant contrast, further enhancing the visibility of the players. This combination is particularly impactful under the lights, making it a fan favorite for night games.
The Big Game Blues: All-Blue Uniforms
The “Big Game Blues” combination is a modern phenomenon, and it’s one that fans have embraced wholeheartedly. This all-blue look, with the blue jersey, blue pants, and blue helmet, has become synonymous with Michigan’s success in recent years. It’s a bold statement that represents the Wolverines’ dominance and their unwavering confidence. It’s a look that sends a clear message to their opponents: we’re here to win.
The all-blue combination is not only a visually striking look, it’s also a symbol of Michigan’s unity and strength. The blue color represents the team’s commitment to playing as one, and the all-blue look symbolizes the Wolverines’ determination to conquer any obstacle. It’s a powerful look that has become a rallying cry for Michigan fans and a source of pride for the team.
The “Big Game Blues” combination has become a fan favorite, in no small part because of its association with Michigan’s recent success. The Wolverines have won two games against their archrival Ohio State and the 2023 national championship while wearing this combination. It has become a symbol of victory, and fans are eager to see the Wolverines wear this look again and again.
The Controversial Look: All-Maize Uniforms
The all-maize uniform combination, while a bold departure from the traditional look, has been a subject of debate among fans. Introduced in 2017, the all-maize uniform has its supporters and detractors. Some fans embrace the bold move to break from tradition and showcase the maize color in an eye-catching way. Others, however, find it too much of a departure from the classic blue and maize look and prefer the more traditional combination.
The all-maize look is visually striking, there’s no doubt about that. It’s a bold choice that stands out on the field and makes a statement. However, for some fans, it’s a bit too much of a good thing. The all-maize look can be overwhelming, and it doesn’t quite capture the same sense of tradition and history as the classic blue and maize combination. But, it’s a look that’s sure to spark conversations and debates among fans for years to come.
Ultimately, the all-maize uniform is a reminder that Michigan football is not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with new ideas. It’s a testament to the program’s commitment to innovation and its willingness to break from tradition. Even if it’s not the most popular choice among fans, it’s a look that has become part of the program’s history and will continue to be a part of the conversation for years to come.
