Meta: Don't like the banner? Try making one yourself and submit it for consideration.
Personally, I don't care what the banner looks like. I come here for the interesting political discussions, other OT discussions and maybe for some football stuff in the fall. And of course...to defend simian rights from human despotic abuse.
So...you don't like the banner? Let's see your artistic aptitude at work and submit your suggested new banner design.
To give you a start, I used a snipping tool to capture and save the current banner as a png file and opened it in mspaint. The image properties show 1072 x 263 pixels.
Maybe if you hit it out of the park with your new and improved design, our overlords here will like it and use it?
Remember, if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
I submitted a pic of OP's mom. Waiting for brian to approve.
This one?
Someone better than me at Photoshop needs to replace the monkey's head with Murderwolf
Did someone say murder?
I don't think that she will fit in the pixel limit...
A quick search of the internet shows that others have already been at work on this idea it would seem
We even had a contest back during the RichRod years...

Maybe this isn't such a good idea?
I don't think I like that banner..the maize color is wrong
Not gonna lie. The word "nipples" caught my eye even before mgoblog.
I hate that split M.
The split M is the inverted nipple of the logo world.
Looks good to me, we are a basketball school after all.
No, we're a baseball school.
The basketball school thing was short lived. Pretty sure we are primarily a baseball school now.
Even so 2/3 of the guys aren't even on the team anymore.
I'm no artistic savant and have no qualms/quarrels/beefs with the current banner and don't really give a flying fuck whether it gets changed or not because I come here for the great #content and to laugh at all the crybaby shitposting that gets done over the most innane BS...that being said:
If someone far far FAR more artistic than myself wanted to make an updated one, I think a "Celebration Troll" MGoBanner would be hilarious.
- Devin Bush scuffing up the Spartans field
- Chase/et al "swinging the McSorely bat" after a defensive play against PSU
- DPJ's "Paul Bunyan Pose" after he caught the TD against MSU
- Shea "shushing"
- Shirtless Harbaugh
- Murderwolf.
Would be a thing of beauty
These are all pretty good/savagery-type ideas.
Now I may be dating myself here but does anyone remember the banner submission contest like 10 years ago? It was a bracket style matrix and every week we voted on user-submitted ideas. It was a lot of fun and I would much rather see a reoccurring segment of that than Draftageddon.
Who else with me?
I'm a customer. Not a content creator.
... he says, as he creates content on the site he doesn't pay for.
I do pay for it. I buy the book, I donate at least once a year, I buy merch. I support this site because it provides me content.
I guess those invasive ads are just for fun.
I kind of wish they would just change the banner to a bunch of gorillas playing with balloons. I simply want to see the site's reaction.
I like that idea.
You would.
I'd like a banner with nothing butt sexy bits...and a block M somewhere
Then......how about the Butts Family in their themed jerseys?
Off the top of my head, I feel these players might have the right effect

33.3333 repeating, of course.
Chances of survival.
That's a lot better than we usually do.
There's a banner?
:-) yes there is.
I find it funny the banner image being loaded in is actually a 13mb file with the dimensions of 8140x1986... and it has the word condensed in it... a little overkill unless I'm missing something obvious.

Guessing they are just lazy with the naming as https://mgoblog.com/themes/mgoblog/images/1000pixcondensed.png is a thing. That file is ACTUALLY condensed... clocking in at 351kb for a 1070x260 picture.
We're going to need a bigger computer.
Wow nice catch. Not only is it 13 MB, it also loads on the mobile version of the site even though it's not visible. This is really crappy, it is wasting a lot of peoples mobile data. Nobody has a monitor with a high enough resolution to justify a banner that is 8140x1986.
Yes the browser will cache the image so you won't need to download it every single time but still, this is pretty bad. Whoever uploaded the banner should know better.
Instead of a banner we should use that space for more advertisements! If not, make sure to include women’s sports in it...
That banner is a curse.
It was a Harbaugh banner before 2017
It was Football-MBB-Hockey before this past season where all 3 failed to win a championship
It was Football during 2018 and then it ended with a thud
It was changed to MBB after the 17-0 start and we didn’t win a championship.
I can keep going back, too.
maybe we should make it an OSU/Bama/Clemson banner then
If true, add the OSU football playing giving us the bird
Well, Brian will just have to replace the MGoBanner with your SuperGuide™ banner.
Ahh, the old school banner. I like the way you think WFB.
I actually smiled when I saw this.
Good times!
Kittens!!!
... too soon?
The banner isn't a major concern for me either - it would be nice to have it change more often as I do like to mix it up a little and I do like the hidden gems usually buried within - I am just here for the deep political and religious discussions........
My kindergarten teacher told me I had zero artistic ability and I think she was right. I’m more of an idea man.
I see Shea and the receivers dressed as astronauts carrying Michigan helmets as they approach speed in space.
How about a banner that is a gif - I am attracted to moving or shiny things......I'm quite simple
Bring back the naked guy banner
