New Banner Designs at Crisler by Me (Feedback appreciated)

The Elite eight should be put on one banner. Like the sweet sixteen banner.

Gotta tell ya...I expected some Ed Hardy-ized garbage (nothing personal...more so as I recall some of the "new uniform ideas" I've seen here), but these are all very nice and clean.  Well done.

I enjoyed seeing these all. I don't get why we don't have Elite Eight banners hanging? Those are very difficult to achieve.

When are they putting up the big ten championship banner?

Personally I like the old logos.  Feel like it keeps some of the history.  

No need to redesign anything IMO.  It's nice that each of the existing banners is reflective of the era in which they were originally won.  To me, "standardizing" the banners would be akin to wrapping the Law Quad with the facade of Ross School of Business.  Both buildings are absolutely beautiful and represent different eras at the University. 

First, I think you're correct about what they'll do with regards to logo design. I also agree that two years looks much better than one. The graphics look good and I'm glad we get this type of content here.

My preference would be to go with the logo of the era, even as far back as 1921. It would be really cool to see that, just as a reference to the era in which the team competed and won. I can't speak to whether the Big Ten had a logo in 1921 (especially since the conference was technically known as the Conference of Faculty Representatives, and they probably took that seriously back in those days [as opposed to say, the 1970's]), though, so it's just an idea.

Cool to see a more quantitative look at Michigan's tourney runs including Elite 8 and Sweet 16 appearances. Do any schools commemorate Elite 8 and Sweet 16 runs? I'm not in favor of giving out ribbons just because we participated. Banners are for champions.

Which is to say, for those who stay.

Not in favor of Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen banners. This is Michigan, fergodsakes.

While you're working on the "Honored 5" I should point out that Cazzie Russell's #33 is the only retired one of the five, so maybe have some way to make that one stand out?

I like the others, but I've noticed at  that when the B1G logo is displayed in a particular school's colors, they hollow out the B to make it stand out from the 1G (a few Big Ten schools have the logo on their uniforms, if you'd like to see examples). Just something to keep in mind.

Standardizing with the current logo looks good, and the OP's versions are clean and sharp.  I LOVE the idea of having the logos from the respective time period, but I would guess we have banners that pre-date official conference or tournament logos. 

In either case, it's ridiculous to have banners from 1921 with the 2010 Big Ten logo. Either go current or go historical.

Damn it, I think we should get a banner for the Final Four in '92. No, we *officially* didn't play, but we qualified, and that should count for something.

For what it's worth, I like "Finalist" banners better than final four. IIRC, UM has never lost in the semis, just the finals.

does Duke, UNC, or Kansas put banners up for Sweet Sixteen, or Elite Eight? If they do then we should also. But if they don't then I would think we should follow their lead.

as a season as Big Ten Champions?  Or is wikipedia wrong?

Michigan Wolverines Men's Basketball

I didn't realize Johhny Orr came in a year before Bo was hired.  I do remember that Johhny Orr and Bo were the coaches during games on TV when my parents yelled a lot.  My mother particularly hated Bobby Knight.

The Sweet 16 banners remind me of the banners hanging in the Glick Fieldhouse, commemorating the Big 10 football titles. Are your designs modeled after them?

Don't you only get banners for the furthest game you reach in the tournament?

I don't mind getting Tournament Appearance banners, round of 32 banners, Sweet 16 banners, etc. However, it should represent the last game that was played. If you go to the Final Four, you shouldn't have a banner for every game leading up to it.

their all good except I'm not excited about the squashed block M. Brandon's a logo mentality. He should like most of the work you've done.

For our upcoming win this Sunday. Other than that, great job on the banners.

would be to be much more precise with the centering (for example, the M on the NIT banner was about 64 pixels from left and 80 from the right).  Don't wanna look like Staee....

I'd skip the Elite 8 and Sweet 16 and give up on the vacated banners.  I like the ideas of the logos from the time when they were won, but having consistent banners is also nice.  My preference, though is having a different kind of "Fab 5" (or more) to celebrate...

Div III North Park, Indiana, Div II Evansville, Kansas all with 5 (Kansas includes 2 from pre-tourney days, so keeps "NCAA" off of all of them)

UNC takes the Final Four logos from the winning years, which is interesting.  5 from tourney years, 1 from earlier.

Kentucky is pretty basic for their 7 NC's, plus Final Four appearances, for what is shown in Rupp Arena, along the lines of the OP's proposal.

Div II Kentucky Wesleyan has 8 NC's, but not sure if they have any banners hanging in their gym.

(x 11)

And Granddaddy of them all is UCLA with 11.  They don't do any banners other than NC's.
