Notre Dame's Kelly tweets that Harbaugh will have to break out his khaki shorts

Jim Harbaugh and khakis have almost become as synonymous as winged helmets and Michigan football.

So when it was announced on Thursday that Michigan and Notre Dame would resurrect their longtime rivalry starting in 2018, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly wasn't just raving about going up against another big time foe, he was also hoping Harbaugh would wear khaki shorts too.

We wanted to make this game happen.

Since it's the season opener at Notre Dame, @CoachJim4UM may need to break out the khaki shorts.

Harbaugh has yet to respond to Kelly's tweet, so for now we can only hope when the rivalry is renewed in 2018, the second-year Michigan coach will be roaming the sidelines with some shorter khakis.
