Michigan basketball unveiled their new Jordan brand jerseys today at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.

The event featured producer DJ Khaled and former Michigan Wolverine Jalen Rose.

There was music, a three-point shooting competition featuring some of the men's basketball players, and even a dance of between the men's and women's Michigan basketball teams.

"There are some times we played, and our jerseys were very baggy and people would take advantage of that.  Now I think our kids, while it's a slimmer fit, they really can move in it as well. They don't feel restricted at all," said men's head coach John Beilein of the new uniforms.

"It's an incredible opportunity. We're one of five, maybe six basketball teams in the country that get to wear these," said redshirt Junior Duncan Robinson.
