THE Michael Jordan to serve as honorary captain for Michigan’s opener
Last year, Michigan and Nike reached agreement on what was a then-record apparel deal, then put the finishing touches on it earlier this year. As part of that agreement, the UM football program will wear “Jumpman” brand uniforms beginning in 2016, the first college football team to be outfitted under that label.
That brand, of course, is a Michael Jordan-related division of Nike, inspired by the NBA Hall of Famer and former North Carolina Tar Heel great.
During an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show Friday, Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed that His Airness himself will serve as the team’s honorary captain for the 2016 opener against Hawaii in Ann Arbor Sept. 3. That’s the date the football program will debut the new “Jumpman” uniforms.

Football is 100% physical, 100% mental.
Can't Michigan come up with their own logo? How about timeoutman4?

I was listening to a scUM fan at the gym blather off about how the Jordan brand clothing would bring in the recruits and OSU wouldn't be able to keep up, because every kid wanted to wear Jordan clothing. Idk, but even though many HS kids love the assortment of Oregon jerseys, I don't see them ever in the top 10(or even 15) in recruiting. And the kids that do commit, aren't doing so due to clothing. I chuckled to myself at his thoughts, as it clearly seems that he was looking for any type of positivity to brag about scUM, because he couldn't bring up anything football related. Its a large stretch to assume top kids will go to a school to wear Jordans, I guess...

This hits me at such a personal level........but my brother brought up a good point today. If they found a way to lose this game, the internet would literally go down with all the crying Jordan memes being posted all at once.

Michigan hasn't had a better recruiting class than Ohio State since 2010. That's six classes in a row, and that's not even counting the epic class of 2017 which is on pace to be the clear number one class in the country. I don't think Jordan brand clothing is going to change that trend any time soon.

Remember when scUM fan said Dave Brandon's marketing genius was gonna make scUM the premier brand in CFB? That was awesome.

I don't really buy into the logic that what brand of jersey's your team is wearing is going to help in recruiting. Winning is the key in recruiting, which is why osu and Urb are recruiting at a high level. Michigan will have to keep winning to sustain the recruiting pace it's on.

Ha! Every high schooler wants to wear the clothing of a player they weren't even old enough to watch. I know that Jordan brand is a top seller but come on man...
Ohio State should switch to Converse. scUM wouldn't stand a chance.
