Looks like Michigan will wear 1974 throwback road jerseys this season

Michigan has hired a throwback head coach, and now it appears the Wolverines will sport a throwback look during road games this season.

Twitter was set ablaze Saturday when Rivals' Chris Balas tweeted out a picture of some retro jerseys, reporting that Michigan — per the request of new head coach Jim Harbaugh — will wear these 1974 duds on the road, later adding the Wolverines will don this look for each and every road game this year.

While Michigan hasn't announced this, that's some pretty convincing Twitter evidence.

The Wolverines, under Bo Schemberchler, went 10-1 and were co-champions of the Big Ten in 1974. A member of that team? Current interim athletics director Jim Hackett. An assistant coach on that team? Harbaugh's dad, Jack.
