Michigan to become Michael Jordan's first football client

Since hiring Jim Harbaugh as head football coach, there’s been no shortage of big names associating themselves with Michigan.

Rappers Lil Wayne, G-Eazy and Big Sean have stopped by to meet the team and its coach. Harbaugh has given social media shoutouts to Michelle Obama, Judge Judy and even Nicki Minaj. Athletes seemingly spanning every sport have mentioned their support for the coach.

The latest name might ring a bell too: Michael Jordan.

Thursday evening, the hall-of-fame basketball player announced that the Wolverines would become the first football team to wear Jordan brand apparel, joining the men’s and women’s basketball teams’ switch to the provider in 2016.
