So…Who Wants to Tell Him?

If you are wondering, this is what they sell in the official Missouri store.
Not close…
November 5th, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
Hmmm. Always thought Mizzou was just a different color.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
I saw the same thing. Looks like we have Eliah's support. He is neatly placed into the trusted agents bin.
EDIT:

Oh no you don't. Check him for electronic devices before you talk to him.
November 6th, 2023 at 12:21 AM ^
Vast network indeed
November 5th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:53 PM ^
Don’t click on it if you’re not satisfied.
November 5th, 2023 at 4:30 PM ^
Nope. This is the most welcome, uninformative non-signgate post we’ve had in a while.
Thanks OP for sharing a funny, silly post that reminds us that CFB can still be randomly fun or interesting.

Balderdash!

I can't find anything definitive right now, but back in the day I was told that Michigan owns the trademark for the block M logo and Missouri pays a small fee to license it or that Michigan agreed not to enforce the trademark against Missouri.
November 5th, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
This is what I assumed.
That other M is ugly.
I enjoyed watching the game with all those block Ms on the coaches shirts.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
November 6th, 2023 at 6:06 PM ^
I remember the block M on their basketball uni’s back in the eighties. The two teams white uni’s were almost identical as I remember it.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
Google image Missouri block M. This is old news.
Not that I don't appreciate mocking them. Can't believe Dave Brandon never sued Mizzou.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:39 PM ^
More inaction from Warde
November 5th, 2023 at 4:25 PM ^
We are always the nice guys letting things slide. Meanwhile our supposed conference mates look to take us down anyway that they can. Sore losers.
November 5th, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
Just look at those pissants in Columbus, starting OSU-OSU turf wars with Stillwater and trying to copyright the definite article.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
This was Connor Stalions checking out our CFP competition.
too soon?
November 5th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
With a much better disguise.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
Mizzo's block M has looked like ours since the late 80s hoop jerseys with the...block M. This post is a Wemby reach.
November 5th, 2023 at 4:02 PM ^
Yep. Here's Michigander Doug Smith back in the day:
There was a Michigan >>> Missouri pipeline back in the late '80s IIRC.
November 5th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
They definitely had a "Detroit Pipeline" back then --- 4 of their 5 starters in 1989-90 were from the city. They were nicknamed the "Detroit Tigers."
Norm Stewart and Missouri also got put on probation for the following season. Their "Detroit Pipeline" was not purely organic. :-)
November 5th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
Is that a Michigan guy scouting Georgia?!?! Alert the media!!!
November 5th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
Missouri has used a Block M for decades. They have alternate logos, yes, but the Block M is nothing new.
November 5th, 2023 at 6:54 PM ^
Sweet find of a wolverine pawprint with block M!
November 5th, 2023 at 11:29 PM ^
Wolverines have 5 toes on each of their four feet (paws).
A fact on cats (Tigers) that I just learned: they have 5 toes on their front feet (paws), and 4 toes on their back feet (paws).
November 6th, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
I very much appreciate the nerdiness here
November 5th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
Use of the block M is a controversial subject in their fanbase, due to the fact that everyone mistakes them for us (and no one mistakes us for them).
November 5th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
Google is free. You really think Nike is going to supply the staff with the wrong clothing?

VAST network
November 5th, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
The network is vast, and it is very real in case you had any doubts
November 5th, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
It's very real and it's SPECTACULAR!
November 5th, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
Mizzou has used a block M for decades. Going back to the 60’s at least. The block M was even their primary helmet logo for years up until their move to the SEC in 2012.
November 5th, 2023 at 3:48 PM ^
Beat Penn State! 〽️
November 5th, 2023 at 3:55 PM ^
I literally flipped on that game for about 5 minutes and saw that. Was watching with my 7-year-old daughter who shouted “Michigan!”. I told her it was Missouri but it was a proud dad moment
November 5th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
Funnily enough, I went to grad school at Mizzou, and whenever I wore M gear in Columbia they'd ask what's wrong with my laundry detergent.
November 5th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
Rockin the M gear. He's just on Stalion's payroll. We see you Georgia.
November 5th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
He wanted an upgraded M. Can you blame him?
November 5th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
So...who wants to tell the OP that Missouri uses this logo?
November 5th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
The vast network is never ending
November 5th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
Missouri has a proud tradition of ripping off our exact logo, that dates all the way back to the 1970s.
November 5th, 2023 at 5:49 PM ^
And U of Delaware with our winged helmets along with countless high schools across the US.
November 5th, 2023 at 7:23 PM ^
Delaware didn't rip us off--the winged helmet was brought to Newark by Coach David Nelson, a Wolverine.
November 5th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
As the son of two Mizzou grads, brother of another, and grandson of a longtime physics professor/dept head at Missouri, I can assure Michigan fans that Missouri has been using various iterations of a block M for many, many decades.
If you scroll down the following web page on SEC programs, you can review the various football helmet designs the Tigers have used since the late 1950s:

November 5th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
1980 looks like the first pirated "M" helmet
November 5th, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
He was spotted at Walmart yesterday morning
November 5th, 2023 at 5:48 PM ^
I saw that yesterday as was like “whaaaa?” Thought it was just me…how strange is that?
November 5th, 2023 at 5:53 PM ^
This has been going around Twitter all day. OP neither credited anyone nor got the joke it seems.
November 5th, 2023 at 6:47 PM ^
No, they've always been very similar. One of my favorite Michigan men's Bball uniforms is what I always call the "Missouri" logo.
