Detroit – Jim Hackett, in his last speaking engagement on his last day as Michigan interim athletic director in March in Ann Arbor, challenged the early morning breakfast business group to find the “Easter egg” in the upcoming new Nike uniforms.
Later, he told The Detroit News about the detail that he believes recognizes diversity, with the understanding his remarks would not be published until after the uniforms were publicly revealed.
“It gives me goose pimples,” Hackett said excitedly.
Nike and Michigan unveiled the Jordan Brand “Jumpman” football jerseys Tuesday at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and former Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson in attendance.
