Nike: Two more sneak peeks, new wordmark?

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

The shorts for other schools that are this same model are $70.

 

 

Get a load of that wordmark. Here is our current wordmark.

Compared to the new one.

Our current M54 has been in use since the mid-2000s at least. Those above never were our signature wordmark we used every year, just different adidas fonts on apparel.

Granting that the Adidas gear displayed their fonts and therefore not our wordmark, what is the basis for saying that the Nike gear is evidence of a new wordmark? How do you know it's not just a Nike font?

M54 is not the font on Michigan's wordmark. It's close, but there are subtle differences, see below. However, I would not be surprised if Nike adopts a new font.  Michigan has already went halfway down that road with the Michigan Stadium logo. Also, it seems like Nike is usually consistant with the fonts and logos across merchandise. But, just like Amarillo vs. Maize, what Nike does does not necessarily make it official.

Yeah I see what you mean. The A is really the revealing factor there. I took a look at my valance a minute ago and compared it to the M54 and the A is different.

M54 is the closest we have right now in terms of fonts available to the public.

With what I've seen so far. Looks just like the Adidas stuff, nothing special. As a matter of fact the best looking piece of clothing has been the chicks workout pants.

I mean, a t-shirt is a t-shirt is a t-shirt. I'm sorry, but at some point, if MDen is indeed going to release one new item a day... A new thread on a t-shirt every single day, and discussion that boils down to "well, it's a t-shirt."

Might be time for the ole Section 1 "here's a space for you to create your own content," because let's face it, we don't need a new t-shirt or gym short thread every day.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. 

It's the middle of July. It's OT season and this is not OT. Suck it up and move on.

Because a lot of people have been waiting for this gear. And I guarantee if someone else was posting these threads, you'd just do the adult thing and skip it instead of post not once, not twice, but three times in it.

Each thread is getting triple digit replies and if not being the most viewed, is a close second behind the most viewed thread of the day. Don't tell me people don't care about this stuff. They wouldn't be shutting down State St. if no one cared.

p.s, there was no t-shirt in this thread. Just thought I'd point that out.
