Michigan football receives national championship rings, Jim Harbaugh gets '15-0' tattoo
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan Wolverines football is holding its annual spring game Saturday at The Big House, which follows a morning ring ceremony. The 2023 Maize and Blue team members received four championship rings — two for the national championship (one from the school and one from the College Football Playoff), one for the Rose Bowl victory and one for the Big Ten championship.
The Michigan program showed off the rings on social media. The team also received an issue of The Wolverine national championship magazine.
The rings have some of the team’s tag lines on them, including ‘BET’ and ‘Michigan vs. Everybody.’
Meanwhile, now-former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was given his ’15-0′ tattoo that he promised he’d get if the Wolverines finished undefeated and won the national championship.
“If we go undefeated, I’m going to get a 15-0 tattoo,” Harbaugh said on the Inside Michigan Football radio show Oct. 23. “Probably on the shoulder, and a block ‘M’ over it. I haven’t configured the art yet, but if that happens, I will do it.”
Michigan faced accusations of illegal sign stealing throughout the season but battled the adversity to finish undefeated.

“It’s a good football team,” Harbaugh said at the time. “I think everybody sees that, and that’s what it is. People want to say what they want to say right now, but I just see our guys to the mindset, it’s just a one-track mind at getting better at football and getting ready for these games.”

Harbaugh also returned last month for Michigan’s pro day. He revealed what he was thinking while watching the nearly two dozen pro prospects work out.
“Amazing, incredible to see all the guys,” Harbaugh said at the NFL owners meetings. “I hate to be one of those guys that says, ‘I told you so,’ but I did predict last summer that Michigan would set the record for most players drafted from a school in a single year.
“And just watching that come to life and be that way, it was … talking to every single guy and seeing all the parents again. I watched all the O-line work out, I was able to watch [quarterback J.J. [McCarthy]’s throwing session. And the rest of the time, I was just talking to people. It was incredible.”
