If I remember right, they stole the design from Princeton way back in the day.

The stripes on their retro jerseys from last season are reminiscent of old Princeton unis. Princeton's stripes down the arm were thinner. The Michigan helmet is a copy of the Princeton 'Tiger' helmet worn by the Tigers in the 30s when they were coached by Fritz Crisler, who went on to coach at Michigan. Coincidence? I think not.
