New Yost Ice Paint Job
Saw this come across my twitter. The new ice paintjob at Yost. Two things of note really-
1) B1G logos added
2) The "candy cane" style red line at center ice
3) Use of the "banned M" at center ice
All boomerang, all the time.
It'd be pretty interesting to see a game played in that shape..
thinking about playing the off-wing on the right side of the boomerang is salivating, especially 1-1 or a breakaway. Left wing on the left end would be okay too; I'd hate the other two quadrants, though, and would probably insist on D or C.
Yuck
I tend to believe that it is, but maybe not. I do think that it's funny that the UM Health System can have a maize M on the ice with no issue, but they won't do it at center ice. Then again, the center court at Crisler is navy too, so what do I know?
My take is that the M must be maize or blue and be solid or have one stripe in the other color. no more than the one stripe. That flyer doesn't say anything about Blue M's which is why I don't really know.
I do agree on the health system logo- that maize M looks fine to me. I guess larger they didn't think so
Nothing like a candy cane cutting right through your bland block M!
I'm sorry, but that looks terrible.
The middle stripe? Because otherwise it's exactly the same
Would you rather have a giant, shiny, maize Block M right in the middle of the ice? I think that would make it difficult to play.
What about if it had blue border like the one at midfield at The Big House has?
Isn't that the official official logo?
The maize block on the football field doesn't effect play. In football you're not looking at the ground for the ball, and it's grass so it doesn't shine. Hockey it would be horrible.
But you have to occasionally look for the puck
Barely. The deterioration of the Michigan brand continues...
Wah wah wah.
You're delusional. Just today, Michigan had their twitter #GoBlueVIP session and the tags #GoBlueVIP and #Beatohio trended NATIONALLY several times today. Michigan Football social media is the most followed/liked out of any college athletics team worldwide (Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Instagram). If things like that are getting trended more than once nationally, it shows the health of the brand right there.
That's just social media. Not even counting the merchandise royalties, the ticket sales, Denard on the NCAA Football 14 cover, Wolverine players on national magazine covers, special features on national shows on Michigan Athletics (60 Minutes, CBS Sports, ESPNU)
The brand is flying high.
So to illustrate the continued strength of the brand, you cite twitter. I think that pretty much says it all.
Go whine about hunting animals on your stupid blog.
I don't have a blog, and I really don't care about hunting animals.
Ha hilarious Professor X! How ever did you find that?
you missed the sarcasm
because GhostofFerbert had been trolling hard in here and all his posts got deleted so now it looks like everyone is arguing with people posting innocous things
It really has that WOW factor on me!
Borders on the Block M are absolutely unacceptable. Come on Blue!
The entire thing is unacceptable, and any fan of Michigan hockey should agree.
I am a fan of Michigan and I find it acceptable
I said should. I didn't say would.
...hijacked by GoF. Why isn't he banhammered yet?
I'm exressing an opinion. Last I checked, that isn't banworthy.
the way you're just whining all up and down this thread is flamebait. Instead of "Looks awful" you could try "I think the candy cane stripe through the middle looks really bad. Wish we would've kept the old design"
So if I said "really bad" that would be ok, but "terrible" isn't? Splitting hairs my friend.
of a near-Dadaist thread after his ban. None of the replies make sense!
I sound like a crazy person now that GoF has been caved.
It's been a long time coming to actually have a Big Ten hockey league (ed: 91 years actually), just cool to see the logo showing that it finally happened
I'm curious to see if we (or any of the other Big Ten teams) will hang banners from 1959-1980 when people were technically/actually winning Big Ten titles.
