Jim Harbaugh owns non-khaki pants

Newly hired Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is known for his love of wearing khakis. Now it’s been publicly stated that he actually owns pants that are not khaki.

Professional sports coaches are judged, admired, made famous etc. for what they wear. For Jim Harbaugh it’s his day-to-day wearing of khakis. At least in public, he wears nothing but khaki pants and he’s become famous because of it.

Upon his arrival to University of Michigan, students held a khaki out to welcome the Michigan alumna back. On Tuesday, he admitted on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike that he indeed wears non-khaki pants.

Jim Harbaugh asked on @MikeAndMike if he owns anything other than khakis: “Yes, I own other pants."

It’s cool to know that he wears pants other than khakis. However, it seems like fans and media have become so obsessed of his regular khaki wearing that they forget about what really matters, wins and losses. Harbaugh faces a challenge to turn around a struggling Michigan program, but some people will still only care about his khakis.

If I was Harbaugh, I would wear non-khakis for a game. He would make Kim Kardashian jealous by actually breaking the internet and social media. The shock, surprise, and outrage over wearing non-khakis would become the next great sports “scandal” behind Chris Christie rooting for the Dallas Cowboys.

Then, Harbaugh should start another trend by becoming the coach known for wearing jeans, and once they forget about his khakis he should wear them again. Give the khakis a break, man!

I respect Harbaugh for wearing the same bottoms all the time. Khakis are very nice and comfortable to wear, but I’d get bored being dressed in the same outfit every day. At the same time, it would be interesting to see the ratio of khakis to non-khakis Harbaugh actually owns. It’s probably about 1000:1 or something outrageous like that.

Because of his regular khaki use, media will always poke jokes at Harbaugh about his khakis and that’s what spurned Mike and Mike to ask about if he actually owns non-khakis. However, I think he should have to prove it to the world he actually does. The best time to do that would be to wear a blue jeans to Michigan’s Spring game and let the shock pour over to the fans and media. For now, Harbaugh will continue to be referred to as the coach who is always rocking those khaki pants on the sideline.
