Are these Michigan's new football uniforms? image

On August 2, Michigan planned to reveal the first college football uniforms to sport Michael Jordan's Jumpman brand.

It seems like the uniforms were released a little sooner than expected.

RedditCFB tweeted the leaked image of the uniforms first. If the photo is accurate, the Wolverines will stick to the white-on-white road combo that Jim Harbaugh brought back in 2015 and stick to the classic maize-and-blue home uniforms. The Jumpman logo is also featured prominently on the left chest and pants. 

Michigan previously released sneak peeks of Nike and Jordan brand apparel that will go on sale at midnight on Aug. 1, when the Nike contract takes effect.

The football jerseys, however, were planned to be unveiled at a special ceremony, “Forged For Greatness: The Victors Dress Code Event”, held by Nike on Aug. 2 in Detroit. They will go on sale to the public Aug. 6.
