They must have decided that if they want to have any luck with the big-time recruits in the south they need to come in wearing Nike.

It may be a camp shirt, actually. But it's important to note that the other coaches have a different version of that Nike shirt. I've been to a lot of camps in my day, granted that was over 20 years ago now, (son-of-a-bitch) but I don't remember there being more than one camp shirt.

I'm not sure Nike isn't coming close to some legal violation. I'm sure Adidas won't be happy to see these pictures.

This is correct. I coach at a HIGH SCHOOL that has an exclusive adidas contract and my boss tells us never to post pictures of ourselves or our athletes wearing anything other than adidas.

Ridiculous? Probably.

True. Yes.

High schools have exclusive brand contracts? Is this a common thing?

No. It is with very large and well known high schools, but considering the fact that the majority of high schools in this country are not on that level, it is uncommon.

Our dinky class C high school had (has?) a Reebok (unfortunately) contract. Yup. Very common.

My alma mater in Ohio (sorry) had Nike, then switched to Under Armour after I left. Pretty common in D1 there

Mine didn't, but even if they had, I would still wear whatever I wanted...and in some cases, even if they gave me free shit that u didn't want.

Huh. Probably can get away with it because he's not officially representing UM or it's not an official public apperence? I assume he's contractual obligated to wear Adiddiaiais' UM gear in official apperences and functions.

Doesn't look anything like Michigan gear. Probably just repping the local high school apparel

The shirt is a Michigan shirt. The hat? Not so much.

It is an Elite Shirt Camp. A block M with the word Elite across the middle.

Is there any other coach there besides Harbaugh that isn't approaching three bills?

The other thing, is that even if this is a camp shirt, or a prototype that Nike made for UM, I doubt Adidas would be pleased to see Harbaugh wearing Nike.

Also, why is Nike sponsoring Harbaugh's camp and not Adidas? Thats interesting as well

That is a Prattville hat, I believe. The shirt, however, is ours.

Wouldn't make sense because Prattville is an Adidas school as well.

Could it be something special to wear at the Nike endorsed schools?

I googled a pic of Keith Washington to see what brand they wear...of course half of them are Prattville wearing Nike and the other half are Adidas. Kingston Davis has way more pics in a Nike jersey, so I'm guessing they are a Nike school, hence the swoosh.

The shirt looks like a camp shirt. Unless Harbaugh is just flat out defiant I can't see him wearing any nike michigan apparel. I am surprised that Adidas didn't provide camp apparel, even if they had to run it through the high school.

Regardless of occasion, camp or otherwise, I don't think I can recall seeing a coach wear the gear of a competitive apparel sponsor. Something generic... maybe.

This might be some type of negotiation ploy given what Hackett's been saying about his expectations for the next deal.
