The Miami Hurricanes football team took the NCAA by storm after unveiling the original Turnover Chain on Sept. 2, 2017, against Bethune-Cookman following an interception by cornerback Malek Young.
Since then, multiple teams have tried to imitate the now-iconic chain. Last football season, Florida State implemented a “turnover backpack” that failed to gain as much attention as the UM original. The backpack will not be returning for another season.
For the 2017 season, the chain created by local jeweler Anthony John Machado featured the “U” logo. In 2018, the chain featured Sebastian the Ibis, which begs the question: Will Canes fans be seeing a third version of the turnover chain during the 2019 season?
