Traditional/Simple M Football Schedule Wallpaper
I have always been a fan of traditional, simple, and clean schedule wallpapers that can be updated with score info as the season progresses. Since I didn't run across one that fit that profile this year, I decided I'd have a go at it....
Admittedly, I'm at a toddler skill level when compared to expert designers (e.g. jonvalk) that have already posted wallpapers, but if you like a very simple look, you may have use for this.
FWIW, it is designed for my work monitors (1080x1920 vertical orientation), but if there is a size you'd like, I can try to make it for you if you let me know. Since I live in Arizona, all game times are noted in Pacific time (pre11/2) and Mountain time (post 11/2) in the first link, second link is Eastern time for all you folks closer to Ann Arbor.
Can't seem to embed the file in the message, so you can access it here:

Simple and tasteful. You'll never work at Adidas.

No, no I won't! Ive always favored the "off-brand" Michigan merchandise that still uses maize and keeps the "frills" to a minimum. Perhaps Russell Athletic will hire me lol.

This is so tired. If you prefer simple/traditional look like I do it is available everywhere. It doesn't get released as new gear every year because it isn't new. From the MDen site.....

Perhaps you'd prefer some camo Michigan gear or something equally gaudy?

I think you need to follow the thread.

between where we are now and where I need to be. It's too late for me.
However, I will be purchasing those shirts very soon. I'm glad you posted that tonight.

Tremendous. A selection of three shirts that have been out since 2008. Some of us like to buy new clothes. I am one of those people and I could always count on nike to release a couple good looking shirts every season. Adidas puts out new garbage every season.

+1 for vertical monitor background! I use one at home.
August 26th, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
I like this. I definitely need to keep this on the second monitor at work (vertically oriented) so I can remind myself when I will suddenly be unavailable for weekends should there be weather like there was this evening here in metro Detroit. I will just have to remind myself that I can sleep in a little bit for some kicks as I believe you're using your home time zone (Eastern Time here)

Just in case anyone is curious for future things, the official Michigan font is Superstar M54.
Ex:
For the official Football jersey number font, it's a combination of Superstar M54 and a font I use called NHL Detroit. Yes, it's a Red Wings template. The only reason I got it is because certain numbers are sharper and accurate to what Michigan uses.
The numbers 1, 4, 5, 7 and 9 are the ones that are Michigan-accurate on NHL Detroit. I recently used NHL Detroit for the font exclusively when I rebooted my Lacrosse jersey number database document but noticed that they weren't completely accurate to the actual numbers. The 8s and 3s, more specifically, are more rounded in Superstar M54.
Those fonts are free to download via a quick google search.
Also, the player name lettering on the backs of the Football jerseys is very close if not identical to the lettering in NHL Detroit.

I think you could be a successful young man if you learn to pay attention to detail.

While the University has never said Superstar M54 is their official font for the Michigan lettering, there's no doubt it is. The person who made the font available is a beautiful person.
Has done wonders for me. And not just with my Michigan projects.

Look at the G. It's a bit different on the bottom right on the Princeton font.

Here's a wallpaper I made a few years back, pretty simple but with some dilithium. Obviously not a schedule wallpaper, but someone might be interested.

Every other stadium in the Big Ten has simply named after the school except for northwestern which is named after why assume to be a big donor and alum. I kind of get that, but allowing your University Stadium to be named after A corporation is just a total joke. What sellouts

Just noticed this - are you leaving room to edit in the scores of each game on the sides? Is that what I'm looking at? If so, that's a cool concept for a wallpaper. I'm going to try my hand at a simpler design that I could do something similar (scores) and see how it turns out. Kudos!

Yeah, that's my intent, to update it as the season progresses (likely until the first loss, upon which I will be too upset to update it and likely change my wallpaper to kittens).
