Did A Michigan Recruit Tweet A Photo Of The New Michigan Jordan Brand Jersey? [PHOTO]

When Michael Jordan said the words "Go Blue" it broke my heart. I can admit it. Jordan was always my go-to brand, as well as my favorite athlete of all-time.

Starting Aug. 1, 2016, Michigan will start wearing Jordan Brand football uniforms with the Jumpman logo.

Co-workers at 97.1 The Ticket like to tease me about Michigan wearing Jordan brand since I am not exactly a fan of the Wolverines.

This morning when I came into work, Karsch and Anderson producer Khang asked me if I had seen the leaked version of the Jordan Michigan football jersey. I didn't believe him. A recruit who was visiting Michigan took a photo of himself wearing a No. 12 Adidas Michigan uniform.

In the background, you can see a 23 Michigan jersey on a mannequin.

From this photo there is absolutely no way you can tell what brand the uniform is.

Another Twitter user zoomed in on the photo.

Here are the differences in the uniforms that I noticed. The Adidas logo above the numbers is not on the uniform in the background. It also looks as if there aren't numbers on the shoulders in the alleged Jumpman Michigan uniform.

We might be grasping at straws here and I highly doubt Michigan would have these uniforms in the locker room while they are still currently under contract with Adidas.

What do you think?
