OT: Missouri Football abandon's the block "M". Replaced with Tiger Logo.

Missouri's earlier announced new college football team uniforms and new sports brand identity for other sports.

For football, they've decided to abandon the block "M" designation and embrace the tiger logo.  Kind of like the new black helmet with large gold tiger design. Also the all black home uniforms with gold numerals look pretty damn cool.

Check out the changes here: http://www.mutigers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/041412aaa.html

good... one thing Mizzou people always complain about on their blogs is running into Michigan fans and one side assuming the other is one of their own. It was a problem for them as a brand 

Though really they should rename themselves after their most famous alum... the Mizzou Fighting Jon Hamms

I went to Mizzou. My freshman year there, I wore a Mizzou hat pretty much all the time. It was a gold hat with a black block-M on the front. I would wear this hat, on campus at the University of Missouri, and other Mizzou students would stop and ask me if I was from Michigan. Which then neccesitated a long answer about how I was, but the hat they were pointing to was in fact a Mizzou hat.

This happened all the time. It happened at Mizzou football games. I really liked the hat too, but I just had to get rid of it.

He's in one of the commercials. Various famous Mizzou alum take turns saying "M-I-Z" and "Z-O-U" back and forth. Jon Hamm goes last, and in the most dramatic voice he can muster says "Z-O-U... Forever." It's terrible. It's probably on the internet somewhere if you want to look it up. I'd recommend it.

Mizzou also lays claim to Sheryl Crow and Brad Pitt (though he never graduated).

A refined color palette allows for instant team identification and heightens emotional ties to the Mizzou name. The official colors for Mizzou are black and gold, in keeping with the colors of the Bengal Tiger. Gold, Black, Anthracite and White are used for the foundation of the Mizzou Athletics color palette. 

There's so much bullsh*t there that I don't know where to start.  I will say that Bengal tigers are not gold, black, anthracite, and white.  I've been to the Cincinnati Zoo a few too many times for you to pull that one on me, thank you very much.

I don't hate the way that looks, but I don't like it either.  TBH all-black rarely looks good.  All-any one color rarely looks good, actually.  When the Saints do it, for example, they look like gymnasts wearing Spandex.

There is no way they can combat the similarities to Michigan, they lose every time. Don't fight the battle, find something and make it yours. Anthracite?

...I like the change. This isn't to say that we should change our uniforms significantly, but Missouri doesn't have the history or the immediate brand recognition with their old block M that Michigan does. I think the decal looks kinda cool. My only concern is I wonder how they'll look once they get a bit banged up. Offensive line players' helmets might end up looking like they have tigers wearing "Corky" helmets or headgear braces.

It's annoying seeing block M's on hats and apparel and thinking Michgan only to see its Mizzou- glad their football switch may make that less common!

Brandon is pushing the block M as depicted on the new scoreboards to make the mark as strong as possible.

I did a quick and dirty trademark search for the block "M" - anyone wanting to see the Patent and Trademark Office registration, I THINK this is it:

The drawing of alternate jerseys and such should go back to the people to whom it belongs:  fourth graders who are bored in class.

the Michigan Athletic Director that hired Bo, was one of the great pioneers of sports marketing.  Sports marketing has helped pay for the scholarships of thousands of student-athletes.  You surely can think of something worse that has happened in sports in your lifetime than the legitimizing of sports marketing as a career.

Good.  Missouri should have changed long ago. 

Hopefully they remove their M from the 50 yard line as well.
