Michigan Becomes First Jordan Brand Football Team After MJ Personally Called Jim Harbaugh
…
Michael Jordan and Jim Harbaugh – the most dominant, intense heterosexual power couple in all of sports. A match made in heaven. The uniforms that are going to come out of this will redefine the smoke patrol game as we know it.
And if you think this news is dumb and that it isn’t a big deal…remember the 15-17 year old kids we are talking about who are a part of the recruiting pool, and the kind of stuff that gets them excited.
[ESPN] The announcement took off on twitter and recruits took note. It caused a big enough stir when it was announced Michigan would switch from adidas to Nike, but now being the only program to wear the Jordan brand has also created commotion.
ESPN 300 receiver Nate Craig-Myers thinks the new deal is something that could help Michigan sell what makes them different from other programs.
“It’s going to interest a lot of kids with the brand because everyone loves that brand,” he said. “To be the only program with Jordan will definitely help.”
Isaac Nauta, an ESPN 300 tight end target, agrees with Craig-Myers and says it’s something that he was excited about right away.
“I love the Jordan brand and I was super happy Michigan went with Nike,” Nauta said. “Everyone loves to be decked out in the best and newest gear, so that definitely helps.”
