Jim Harbaugh showed off a new look on the sidelines during Michigan’s 49-24 win over Minnesota on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn.

Harbaugh typically wears khaki pants on the sidelines for the Wolverines’ games. He is so well-known for them that he even affected the Ann Arbor economy.

But on Saturday, Harbaugh was seen wearing blue pants on the sidelines. The rest of the coaches were wearing khaki pants.

So Jim Harbaugh isn’t wearing khakis tonight but literally everyone else is. I absolutely love this and I hope it continues all season long for @UMichFootball #goblue pic.twitter.com/5DRPTSwNb5

Harbaugh also appeared to not have his Sharpie hanging from his neck like usual, and he appeared to be wearing boots rather than his usual cleats.

Is this a new era for Michigan? The Wolverines putting up 49 points, running somewhat of a creative offense, and Harbaugh not wearing khakis. Michigan fans can only hope this is the sign of new day.

We know one person who must be thrilled about Harbaugh’s pants change.
