PARAMUS, N.J. — Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh wore his trademark block-M baseball cap, long-sleeved shirt and khakis on Wednesday as he stood in the cafeteria at Paramus Catholic High School, but he also carried a pinstriped jersey in one hand.
“Oh, going Jeter today,” said the Michigan quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch, a reference to the former Yankees shortstop (and onetime near-Wolverine).
The sartorial strategy was nothing new. At an earlier appearance at a football camp in Baltimore, Harbaugh wore a Ray Lewis jersey alongside his brother, John Harbaugh, the Ravens’ coach. At a camp in Atlanta, Jim Harbaugh wore a Hank Aaron jersey in an appearance with Aaron himself.
