Wolverbear...please

please no
I say no footballs...just little Block Ms...they are recognizable and if they're small like FSU rather than big like OSU (or Bo's Michigan) then it won't clutter the helmet.
I say Block Ms as well.
The Block M is our logo and works best.

Yes please!

I think this would be ideal. Does anyone with good Photoshop skills have an example of what they would look like?
Somebody did it in the last thread about this. It looked pretty good.

alphabet soup. not my fav. if you're going to do it, small-ish footballs, maybe with the wolverine head silhouetted.

How the hell does an M look like a bone?
and think you are in row XX at the stadium. those beloved block 'M's look more like bones, especially with the blocks at the feet of the 'M's.
You really expect these stickers to be legible from row 45 in the stadium?? C'mon man those stickers would be way too big an maybe fit 3 on the helmet
but assuming it is, i think you and i are in agreement though i might not be expressing well on the intranet. my take is that the tiny looking 'M's from row 45 would look like little doggie bones, not like 'M's.
And you would be able to make out a Wolverine outline?
Such a jerk
is 'you're'? posts end up in the funniest places.

You know I like you!
Not Canadian and Not Yost.
got it figured out now. did before, but wasn't certain.
...because it's not going to look any better than this.
I hate having them, but if we're going to have them. This is defiitely the route to go. You're not going to be able to read anything or see an outline of a Wolverine head either, so the fact that it's small is pointless.
The only then I'd do is center the jersey number sticker at the very bottom of the middle stripe.

The Block M is nice and all but we're overusing it lately. All of our uniformz had a block on M on them somewhere. I don't think it needs to be everywhere.
The snarling wolverine we used for the football stickers was a logo we used only for football and I think that's cool. I do think it should be a little smaller, though.
March 28th, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
I know. It is so weird that M is using their logo. That's like...weird.
Overusing it is the problem. Look at the Michigan Stadium scoreboards, for instance. Did we really need all these Ms everywhere?
I guess it's better than advertising, but Brandon's brand obsession with the M was too much. I remember him once saying something about how he admired how Starbucks put its logo everywhere. A university should not be emulating Starbucks.

I agree. I always thought the two on either side of the screen look especially out of place.
I say the stickers should reflect what team they were earned.. Have the school logo of the team you played/earned. Could you imagine the motivation against sparty or osu? I think that would be an awesome way to go.
Team:
Offense:
Defense:
Elliott Mealer's beard and Lewan's twosie would have also been prime candidates a few years back.

Hoke double point would have worked years ago
I would like as little interference with the most iconic football helmet on the planet as possible. For me, I'd either shrink the original ones, or go with the mini block M. Can't wait to see what the sticker ends up being. I'm guessing since Harbaugh is a throwback, the tickers will likely be the original ones, but who knows?
with a clear circle sticker with a maize outline of a wolverine head on it. Because it would stick to the tredition from Bo's era, and it wouldnt have a clutter up look on the helmet if the stickers were clear.
too detailed for something that small...up close it may be okay, but you'd never be able to make iout the picture otherwise.
...could get your buddy Kanye to design a helmet sticker for us?
It'd say Kanye in big red letters with a tiny M in the corner
March 28th, 2015 at 12:13 PM ^
The point of helmet stickers is to reward the players. Whether or not fans can tell what they are is really not the issue.
..should be the university seal.
Or maybe they should say "..the team, the team, the team..." with a blue background and maize letters.
March 28th, 2015 at 11:06 AM ^
For the stickers to say "the team, the team, the team," and be even remotely recognizable, they would have to be HUGE.
The Bo era helmet stickers were not recognizable from a few feet awy either. The stickers are supposed to motivate and reward players. It does not matter if the words or image can be seen from afar.
...but I think those look awful, huge, too OSU like, you can not see the design...and most importantly it clutters the best helmet in college football.
You also can't get enough stickers on the helmet. Helmets look stupid if they're full and they barely have 10 stickers on them.
March 28th, 2015 at 12:15 PM ^
This is a classic sticker. Just make it smaller, though.
It looks like Bo is getting ready to take one away.
"I've been Krogering" stickers. They're cheap, eye catching and they look great. I know they won't choose them but just my recommendation.
March 28th, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
you're putting them in shopping bags? buying them with coupons?
I'm gonna go against the grain with my second choice. Make the sticker the team number for that year. This year would be the numerals 136 in Maize.
March 28th, 2015 at 11:08 AM ^
Are we continuing the "Team 136" stuff? Or is that one of the Hoke/Brandon ideas we are banishing.
March 28th, 2015 at 11:21 AM ^
But I don't see why it can't be continued. It seemed good for recruiting, if anything. Those hashtags were very popular amongst the kids.

The Team # thing goes back to at least Carr. I know 1997 was Team 118. It just was more public under Hoke.
It was an internal team thing only. Just about the only hint you'd see was a little number on the polo shirts they made players wear for pressers, and even those might only have been for seniors, IIRC. Hoke took it public, and now you can't escape it in any sport. Marketing gone bonkers.
