You probably won't be able to get it as it is only for the coaching staff.  Just like how we can't get some of the stuff that the players have.

No more getting pushed around! 

Everyone spoke so highly of Barwis but I didn't see his methods translated to a tough finished product on the field (with the exception of the OL which I consider to be one of the best in nation right this past year). 

In any case I think this team is in for a strong dosage of toughness...

I have been looking for a few years for one of those Michigan tams.  It's the maize and blue floppy knit cap with the the yarn ball on top. They usually say "Go Blue" and Kevin Kline was wearing one in the football scene in the "Big Chill".  I've asked people wearing one and they say they found it at a garage sale or bought it 30 years ago.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

It's called a hot jacket, and it's a pretty standard piece of coaching apparel.  Our UM lacrosse coaches all had them when I was there too.  I think both Nike and adidas make them, as I remember our coaches wearing them through the transition.  They are kind of like golf pullovers.  They are most popular in baseball I think.  They come in either short sleeve or long sleeve or convertable (removable long sleeves).

I always wanted one, but the coaches hoarded them for themselves.  So now that I'm coaching high school I was sure to order one.
