A couple weeks ago, we talked about the fact that Nike wasn’t content to make my head explode with throwback uniforms for the Michigan game once. No, they had to go and do it a second time.
The pic that Eleven Warriors had up was actually close. Here’s what we get for this year’s Michigan game instead:

Yep.
