As has already been discussed here and elsewhere, they're not throwbacks to anything Michigan has worn in the past, try as some might to sell them as such (key word: sell).
Yet I couldn't help thinking I'd seen them before, or at least their forefathers. Just not on a football field. But where?
Then I was clicking through the channels over the weekend and stumbled upon an HBO special on the tennis rivalry between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.
And there it was.
Judging by the pictures below, apparently these jerseys are throwbacks to wood racket tennis circa 1980.
