Great idea! As a high school

So... I thought you had to be
So... I thought you had to be licensed by the NCAA and/or the university to use the M logos?
As long as he doesn't sell them
He should be fine
to be nitpicky...
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.
would like to hear about your experience.
hit me up at tedheadfred@sbcglobal.net, please
Or just post here
I'm sure it's interesting for some people. Also, Ferns may have gotten clearance from M through Hoke.
"They're stuck with that quarterback (sophomore Braxton Miller) for the next two or three years, that's fine with me. He throws worse than (Tim) Tebow. - Steve Everitt
to keep it simple...
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
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.
**Pats self on back.**
He can't make a dime from these things...
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 heard a rumor from Urban
I heard a rumor from Urban that Michigan athletes don't major in real things, so marketing would not be a choice for him.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.

So.....
Who's paying for all of these T-Shirts??
Himself
T-shirts aren't expensive to make, and definitely not more money than you can reasonably expect a high school junior to have.
Ya I guess...
Call me stupid... But how many commits do we get in a class? Ya, ya... I'm an idiot for not knowing that, yada yada yada... Just an answer please and Thank You
# of commits
You can get up to 28 in a class in the B1G (25 + up to three early enrollees put in the class before if that class wasn't full) and up to 85 total. We'll have 16 spots to get to 85 from seniors leaving plus a spot for anyone who leaves the team. So maybe around or a little over 20 can be expected this year, depending on how many leave the team.
Great idea!
Love this kid! Gotta love the way he's out there recruiting hard for Team #135. Interested to see how this all develops and what sort of effect it has. Hopefully very positive
I hope this isn't some NCAA
I hope this isn't some NCAA violation.
I agree. As long as Ferns
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.
I was thinking the same
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?

The enthusiasm of recent
The enthusiasm of recent recruits for the program is really encouraging. Some may view this as a letdown from eg a commit, but this sort of thing tells me Hoke and co will prob have some serious staying power if they keep on this path

So no Nike? No
So no Nike? No commits?.....sad panda
No commits YET
The point of this idea though is to snag some potential recruits up that were maybe wishy washy and helps commits STAY. Cheer up
This also
Will make our team better by bringing them closer and bonding more.

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.

Great idea! As a high school junior, I was more concerned about fart competitions with my teammates on the bus.
Ferns has "it".
