It's just a logo. Is it weird that the logo depicts a different sport? Sure. But the reason that's the case is because it's not widely used in other sports. Eventually (probably) Jumpman is going to be another UA, Adidas, Nike, and people won't even give a second thought to the logo.

I mean, it's just gross and unnatural. There is football and there is basketball, we can't go around mixing the two. How will we explain it to the children? Won't somebody please think of the children?!?!

You've been a member since this morning... Consider me skeptical on your inside source.

This is like going from Wrangler to Arrmani.
August 14th, 2015 at 2:31 AM ^
Adidas being Wrangler. Maybe some of y'all wear Wranglers, and love your Wranglers. I don't know...

Is the "Jumpman" thing a registered trademark for Nike or is it just an accepted euphemism for the logo that's stuck over the years?

I think this is great for Michigan. Its definitely a great marketing tool, and will catch a few recruits eyes. You are kidding yourself if you think it wont. Oregon gets some kids they problem wouldn't if not for the snazzy uniforms. Being the first, being connected to Nike/Jumpman = win win.

Seriously. I admit it looks a bit weird in a way, but it makes you stand out. Even though he has some personal issues, those are mostly ignored and when folks thinking of MJ, they think of Best Ever and Unwilling to Lose. I think it is a great association for you.

The Buckeye gets it, yet so many of you can't wrap your heads around it.

I'm partisan when I want to be but for stuff like this I really try to look at this objectively and I honestly think it is a good thing. I head local radio guys talking about us getting gear with a LeBron style crown. I would dislike that for a couple reason. Looks like we are copying and we are copying with a lesser product.
Not to start an LJ vs MJ thread, but at this point in time one is clearly greater than the other and the window is fast approching if not already here where that can't change. I'd rather have Jupman than a crown, though I would probably be happiest with sticking with the swoosh.

Has Jordan ever done any Uniformz?
August 14th, 2015 at 9:02 AM ^
2016 recruit Dylan Crawford has taken notice, but uh yeah...this will help with recruitng immensely
Michigan it is I guess https://t.co/EAPFubB1RL

I remember when Nike first outfitted the team in the 1990s, and people were upset because the swoosh was going to sully our uniform. They got over it, as evidenced by the fact that some here are losing their shit because the swoosh won't be making its return.
August 14th, 2015 at 9:27 AM ^
Jim points and laughs at the outrage.
August 14th, 2015 at 9:47 AM ^
Jordan is known for basketball yeah but is more of a brand now. They been making golf shoes, football shoes, and baseball shoes for years now. Yeah a jordan symbol on a football uniform will be different but kids love Jordan and it will help with recruiting for both football and basketball.

I'm pretty sure MJ was all like "OMG is this really THE Jim Harbaugh??"

Do not like it the basketball logo on a football jersey. If the swoosh is no good and a unique logo is required the Nike braintrust should draw up a new football logo. Like Desmond doing the Heisman pose.

I just noticed that people negged the hell out of my comments in this thread which alluded to the provision in our Nike contract which states that the basketball team will be provided Jumpman brand gear INSTEAD OF (and not in addition to) Nike, and that Nike offering Jumpman to Michigan's football or other non-basketball teams is predicated upon Nike offering Jumpman to its other schools' non-basketball teams. Here's the provision for you non-believers:

Since it's hard to read unless you click the link, here's what it says: "NIKE shall outfit the men's and women's basketball programs with Jordan (instead of NIKE) Brand footwear and apparel for the entire Term. At UofM's request, NIKE shall supply other Covered Teams with Jordan Brand footwear and apparel to the extent NIKE does so at other NIKE-sponsored universities."
