Nike launch festivities to take place, per Warde
Something that was speculated on back when the announcement came last year.
Don't be surprised if it's a big reveal fashion show. Schools like Army and Tennessee have done this in recent years. Tennessee's was after they left adidas for Nike.
This info came from an interview after he presented the U-M budget for FY 2017 to the Regents. Part of that plan includes a possible roof replacement at Oosterbaan Field House and a new turf field there.

Michigan’s teams will transition to Nike apparel beginning Aug. 1, and Manuel said there will be some festivities surrounding that launch. But he wasn’t ready to reveal what those might be.
“We will be inclusive (with fans) as best we can, but we will have some special things around the announcement,” Manuel said. “But now we’re very supportive and very thankful to Adidas for our relationship with them and we look forward to our relationship with Nike.”
The event to introduce the uniforms is probably not WD's idea, but turning it into a "fashion show" is original.

the model looks fat.
No. Osterbaan is an eyesore. Thing just needs to get torn down.
What's the date on that?
Do you know what the usual priorty point cutoff for things like that? Or is it an annual threshold? Thanks!

Why? The place needs to go. It sticks out like a sore thumb next to the Glick.
I was hoping they would get rid of it and build a new museum/weight room in it's place. Speaking of weight room... any news on that front?
Softball, Baseball, Field Hockey, Men's Soccer and Women's Soccer use it as an indoor practice facility.
We just spent millions on a museum in Schembechler Hall.
Vlad I didn't know you rolled that way
I said this from Day 1...it's just how it goes. Michigan isn't going to be "above" it. Just turn your head or turn off your computer that day if you don't like it.
They're going to go ALL OUT.
Then the dust will settle, we'll be a Nike school and we'll start or continue kicking ass.
...not that big of a deal.
