UMD should not be allowed to use the block M in the b10
I can't stand the Maryland M next to the Michigan block M in my sig. It is ticking me off even more since it isn't even their main logo.

^^^^^
they should stick with that.

^^^same for rutgers (2nd pic is if the white background doesn't work)

thx to whoever makes the conference/logo sigs, but seriously ==> swap the UMD/RU logos

I think there may be a bandwidth cap on your image link, I get a failure to load even when I try to load it directly.

Edit: must have been a bandwidth cap, its coming up now.

Testudo is pretty bad-ass (for a turtle). Definitely keep him in the logo.

Does Michigan have more color-blind fans than normal?

Let the winner of the game keep the Block "M" for the year and the loser must go to script "M". Make it a trophy game. 03-idea

Given you're from Waynesville you'll get this .......

When I first moved to Cincinnati I would drive around and think "there are an abnormally high number of maize and blue Block M stickers on cars here, especially considering we're in Ohio."

Took a few months before I realized it was the Cincinnati Moeller HS logo. But man, they do look a lot alike!

... and there are too many Tigers in the SEC.

Back in the day I had NCAA basketball for Super Nintendo and my friend wanted to be Michigan, but there were no Big 10 teams so he picked Maryland because of the block M.

Pretty sure there's no color-blindness that would confuse those two sets of colors short of having no color perception at all.

Unless they are using a monochrome monitor, I guess.

It's a shame they basically got rid of Testudo. Great and unique logo.

Which block M logo are you referring to? There's the older Michigan style block M logo but I prefer this one:
[Image: MBar_Black_3c_186.jpg]

No one should confuse that one with Michigan.

i am talking about one similar to this ^^^^
the flag on the top was a lot smaller and it looked a lot like a spin off of the M with a flag on top to make it a bit different for copyright reasons.

i am not saying that it is confused with michigan, but seeing that next to the michigan logo pisses the hell out of me.

it is an issue of similarity not confusion and the way UMD uses it is too close to UM IMO

the rule of thumb for teams outside of the atlantic coast is that the closer you are to ann arbor the less you dick around with the block M.

minnesota doesn't use a true block M.
mizz puts a tiger inside it
mississippi has block Ms but rarely use them
mississippi state puts a giant state through theres
michigan st uses block S or the spartan

Michigan did NOT invent the winged helmet... that would be Princeton... Michigan State even had a variation of it before Michigan adopted the look. 03-banghead

Btw you should do the sig based on divisions, not alphabetical.

That's a fine looking M, and I don't see any reason why it ought to make the yellow bellies up north blue.

You can't make a point and then use false facts to back up your original statement.
