ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- They lined up for T-shirts.
All day, Michigan fans stood in line for T-shirts. And when the sun went down they chanted and painted their faces and counted down the last few seconds like it was New Year’s Eve for T-shirts, ones with a tiny lopsided parabola in the corner instead of a striped triangle.
Michigan athletics officially switched from an Adidas school to a Nike and Jumpman brand school Monday. To celebrate, the school closed a city block in downtown Ann Arbor and threw a party before opening the official retail store, The M Den, at midnight for those who couldn’t wait any longer.
