MGoArts & Crafts - Go Blue Banner
A while back I posted a thread searching for the font of the iconic "Go Blue, M Club Supports You" banner. My goal was to create a replica of this banner for tailgating, wall decoration, cape, etc. (HT to Drill for suggesting WhatTheFont. It was Eurostile Bold, manually extended). I was asked to post pictures when this project was completed.
Today I deliver. (Thanks for the picture posting help, FA!)
Lawn chairs added for reference, but the dimensions are roughly 8 feet by 3 feet. I figure it's somewhere between 25% and 33% of the real life banner.
Anyone walking down South Division on the way to the game should run up and touch it for good luck.
If you are interested in creating your own, I've put the letters up on Google Docs as a pdf here.

No picture. I hope you get it fixed- I'd love to see this.
EDIT: It works now. That's awesome, man!

FYI, no pic yet.
Edit: Yep.

The banner is lame, but those lawn chairs are to die for!
Kidding, of course. The banner looks awesome. Great work.

Jeremy Ross can reach that banner no sweat

I want that! Seriously that is one of the best tailgaiting accessories you can have. Not many people can say they have a scale replica of the banner. At least as far as I know!
August 23rd, 2010 at 2:44 PM ^
That is great. Nice job! If I see it Sept. 25 I will be touching that for sure.

Awesome banner, I'll definitely look for it before the UMass game.
(Is that a real deer in the background?)
August 23rd, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
Haha, nope it's one of those foam deer to practice archery.
August 23rd, 2010 at 2:56 PM ^
Also, is that a dog or a deer in the background?
August 23rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^

You have inspired me to duplicate your work. It will look great hanging next to my Michigan banner this season.

I really want to make this exact thing.
How much did it cost and where did you get it printed?
September 18th, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
Love it, I need this above my front door here in Utah.
My neighbor and I are big Michigan fans and this would be a sweet addition. I tried to follow that google docs link and I get a blank web page. Could you perhaps update/fix that so I could get it?
Thanks in advance

Downloaded, will post when I have it hung up

Want to know where you got this printed up. Very interested in doing this myself. Any suggestions?
September 6th, 2012 at 2:09 PM ^
any way you could repost the picture
October 14th, 2013 at 2:57 PM ^
I'd love to make one of these for the new house. Can you repost the picture? And perhaps suggestions of how you accomplished yours?
Much appreciated!
