Don't think we see the block m with the rebrand. It will either be the new JMU logo, Duke Dog, or something completely different

While I don't have an issue with the block "M", you don't spend the money JMU spent and release a brand change days before HUGE media exposure and NOT wear something based on the brand.
The timing on the brand release wasn't random. We are about to get massive TV exposure. To spend all of the money they spent and release this new brand less than a week before the championship game and wear a block "M" (that isn't part of the brand), is more than an opportunity wasted. It shows they really don't care about the brand and wasted a lot of our money and not display what they want associated with James Madison University. Had the block "M" been part of this new JMU brand, then absolutely they should wear it, but it wasn't. Plus it looks like they are pushing hard to not be known as "Madison", but "James Madison", so that would again contradict what they are trying to do.
For the record, I would feel the same if they used the script "Dukes". I am all for wearing those as alternates, but the timing calls for an opportunity to show off the new look, and I think they will take it.
And if they don't, they are far dumber than we thought.
