Ferns has "it".
February 15th, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
Well, were you losing the fart competitions? If so, that's unacceptable.

If you passed out trying you should get some kind of runner up medal, at least.
February 15th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
you passed out before you shit your pants?
February 15th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
February 15th, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
Sweet!
February 15th, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
That's some initiative right there.

He should be fine
February 15th, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
since i just went through this myself in designing a shirt recently, might be worth pointing out to anyone unsure that the block M is a registered trademark of the university. this of course means there are some details that must be adhered to when it comes to using the design legally.
i suppose not selling them negates some of the concern, but given the high profile nature of the shirts amongst the recruits, it is possible that young mr ferns might get a gentle conversation directed his way on the correct usage of copyrighted material from the powers that be.
other than, cool idea for the commits.

i suppose the simplest advice is to be sure to used a U-M licensed vendor, there is a lengthy list of approved vendors. Each of them know all the little details of what can and cant be done. (as i said initially, a lot of little things, such as the block M can't be altered in anyway, even things such as a width of an outline are strictly enforced, the circle R (®) must appear, etc etc).
i'm not trying to lay claim to being an expert on the topic by any means...

I made some shirts through Underground Printing for my lab back at Michigan & they added the little (TM) so tiny you can barely see it next to the Michigan logo. They said it was required.
Here at Wisconsin I recently designed some shirts for one of the surgical departments on customink.com - I wasn't the one who inquired, but one of us did check to see if we needed to include that next to the motion W, & nobody told us we had to. So we didn't.
So yea, I dunno. Way to be super helpful, Wisconsin Wolverine.

If he does...he's got bigger problems than a letter from UofM saying that he can't use the logo.
His amatuerism will be in question. If he's selling these, some booster could give him $10,000 for a t-shirt. #SECissues.

I count 5 packaged shirts. We have 3 commits.
?
February 15th, 2013 at 7:16 PM ^
Per his feed, two are for members of the media.

I hope this isn't some NCAA violation.
February 15th, 2013 at 7:15 PM ^
I agree. As long as Ferns pays for the shirts himself, he can basically do anything he wants. However, if players currently on the tream try to get involved, thats where it can get hairy.
I trust our coaching staff is all over this, and Ferns has been updated on what is and isn't allowed.
February 16th, 2013 at 8:16 AM ^
I was thinking the same thing. But if he isn't officially committed and paying for these shirts himself, how can the NCAA possibly find against Michigan?
February 16th, 2013 at 10:07 AM ^
Give them time, I'm sure they'll come up with something.
February 15th, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
Buckle up

That's pretty fucking cool
February 15th, 2013 at 7:19 PM ^
Has any recruit done this before for any school? This is pretty cool. I think it's a great idea ... I'm glad he's getting it done early as well.
I want that shirt.
February 15th, 2013 at 9:34 PM ^
I hope you're not hoping for a blue one. 'cause we don't get to have those, apparently.
