UNC Football moving to Jordan brand
Saw this pop up on Twitter. So much for being the only school with Jordan Football. Rumblings were happening all season about them whining about not being Jordan. This photo shows Jumpman logos on the 25 yard lines at their Football stadium.
edit: picture was fake but it's confirmed.

This was very predictable. Why would Michael Jordan not outfit his alma mater in his brand? I hope the Jordan club remains somewhat exclusive, though.
Those giant Jumpman logos (are they real?) are tacky. I don't want us to do that.

If Michael Jordan was an alumni of anywhere else but UNC, they wouldn't even have a sniff at this.
*alumnus
Plural don't matter at all, do it? Why hold youselves to a higher standards?
Call me when Ohio State does it so I can blast them for being unoriginal.
will never hear the words "Ohio State" and "Great Society" mentioned in the same sentence.
I'm not an expert on these things, but that seems like a good exchange. I get the sense that Jordan, even as a middle-aged man, moves the fashion needle more than LeBron.
Ehhh....MJ's lucky he was able to change the shoe market, cause his fashion sense is absolutely terrible
That style clearly worked for him in the 90s, so it can obviously work for him now. Even GAP is going "retro" with their 90's throwback collection. MJ is just ahead of the curve.
I've never minded having the logo of Jordan dunking on our merchandise, since it's usually small and unobtrusive, but seeing two large logos of Jordan dunking on the football field is kind of funny and out of place, at least to me.
Haha, no arguing there, just weird. I'm officially at the "Get off my lawn" stage of life, and I just graduated less than 10 years ago.
Well if you're UNC football you'd probably want to remind people about the basketball team as much as possible, especially during actual games
We will always be the football program that popped Jordan's cherry. Athletic brands always remember their first.
Saw it pop up on Twitter when I sent it to you lol.
Some ideas mean well, but do not translate.
Cannot get enough of them...
Jeeeezus. Eye bleach, aisle 9.
If you enjoy bad tattoos, boy do I have a gift for you.
Or let your buddy try out the ink gun he bought "for next to nuthin" at a garage sale.
I am about to die from laughter. MAKE IT STOOOOAAAHAHAHAHAHA.
you realize your own company has an apparel deal with Jordan, right? You can probably get whatever you want....
2. Beat Ohio
3. Jordan Brand Michigan swag
4. Doris Burke
Reality check: This stuff doesn't matter nearly as much as you think it does.
Not gonna happen for a while. Charles still works for Jumpman.
If he works for Jumpman and we have a deal with them....
Michigan opened the door and had MJ at the first game last season, that is all we can ask for, there will be a few other Jordan schools with monetary deals as good or better, the sports biz world keeps on turning.
If my memory serves me correctly, UMich and UNC were the first two Nike schools (in some way) in the mid-'90s.
But our contract was SIGNIFICANTLY bigger then. Still is multiples bigger than UNC.
Heard this was actually going to be for ALL sports FWIW.
As others have pointed out, this was very predictable. When people were telling me that it was weird to have Jumpman on a football uniform I told them to wait a couple years. Jordan is making a push into football. More schools will follow and it will be very normal to see the logo along football stuff.
