Nike Michigan Uniform?

Submitted by umaz1 on

My Cousin is at the draft in Chicago , and she just posted these photos to her Facebook page along with several Nike NFL uniforms. If this is indeed the official Nike uniform, it appears they will stick with the Swoosh rather than the Jumpman logo. Will be interesting to see if this is the final version. Perhaps the Jordan brand will only appear on the cleats?

No TV numbers. Likely just a prototype. I doubt they'd let the real thing slip.

Looks like the last Nike jerseys we had without TV numbers.

I was at the draft as well and saw this display. It looked to me like it was just a Tom Brady throwback jersey. The jersey even had the old mesh material too that Nike doesn't use anymore. I would assume this is not what the uniform will look like, especially since it will have the Jumpman logo on it.

At least playing in HS, I prefered the mesh to the new type of material they use (esp in the summer). Would like see MI in some mesh for summer games. Looks cool too IMHO. For causal jersey wear, the Nike more "shirty" jersey look better (the new NFL/nike school fan wear looking 100% better than the monstrocities from Adidas w/ mesh etc...)

Not here to argue. But agree to disagree.

Without the jumpman, the concept I'm referring to was a clean and simple uniform designed by some guy on the Internet. Still liked it.

If adidas made it, I would have liked it. But man, you're right. The adidas logo looks like trash on uniforms. I guess I agree with you.

They can't be real.  Someone who works for the football team was telling me that there is some legal aspect about Adidas can sue Michigan if Michigan shows that they have Nike stuff before the contract with Adidas is over or whatever verbaige is in the contract.  Also he thinks that there is going to be some special unveiling.  I highly doubt that something of this magnitude would be unveilied at the NFL draft in this way.

I realize that this is probably standard contract verbiage, particularly when it comes to transitions, but I knew we could definitely count on Adidas to be with us until July 31st at 11:59:59 PM - it seemed like the only end to this particular chapter that would be allowed for some reason.

Adidas sponsorship pdf

 

Doesn't look like there are any specific sanctions for using non-adidas products other than terminating the agreement (after giving written notice of the breach) and eventually get a pro-rated share of their money back.  At this point Michigan probably doesn't care if adidas wants to pull out  early and adidas probably doesn't want to burn any bridges or look like a difficult company to work with.

Ha, I'm pretty sure that's not happening. It's been touched on time and time again that the jump an logo will be used on the jersey. That's a beautiful throw back though.
