PHOTOS: An early look at Michigan’s new Nike gear
Published:
The Jumpman era is near.
In less than two weeks, Michigan will officially be under its new contract with Nike, and the Wolverines will become the first football program to rock the Air Jordan brand.
In anticipation of that, Nike released a look at some of the new official team apparel.
Check out some of the gear that will be hitting stores on Aug. 1:
For those wondering, Michigan football will not unveil its new Jumpman uniforms until Aug. 2. Under the new apparel contract, worth a reported $173.8 million, the football and basketball teams will wear all things Jumpman while the rest of the teams will be outfitted by Nike.
Nike will also use the color “amarillo” for Michigan’s maize. Michigan will be the only Nike school with that color.
Darren Rovell tweeted out what that will look like:
