For those wondering if the leaked Michigan jumpman uniform is the real deal I suspect (as some have asserted) that they were early concept designs and not the final version. My theory is based on the fact that the uniforms shown in that photo are based off the Nike Mach Speed template, which does not represent Nike's latest uniform innovation. That title goes to the Vapor Untouchable Performance System, Which is coming to the NFL this season and was worn by Oregon during last bowl season. Check out the link for more details.

It seems more likely to me that Nike/Jordan brand would want to put Michigan in its newest and most innovative uniform system. Differences are subtle but they are there if you pay attention. For example, the neck collar area looks the same with the two horizontal dashes but missing is the mesh piping down the middle of the chest.
Also, as an aside, the placement of the Jumpman logo (another hot topic on this board) is actually situated at the same level as the swoosh is on any Nike school team out there. It looks like it sits low but in reality they do it so that it sits below the shoulder pad line and is clearly visible for TV.
