Jim Harbaugh Is Bringing Helmet Stickers Back To U-M Football

Jim Harbaugh is bringing a tradition back to Ann Arbor which was handed down by his collegiate coach, Bo Schembechler.

According to a Rivals.com report, Harbaugh is bringing back helmet stickers to the Wolverines football team, something the program had while he played during the 1980s. The team has been without the stickers since Lloyd Carr took over the program in 1995.

Another change will be the retiring of Legends jerseys, which honor the program's storied players. That means fans will most likely not see a quarterback wearing No. 98 anymore, as Devin Garnder did in honor of Tom Harmon.

Among others, defensive back Blake Countess wore No. 2 in honor of Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson.
