EDIT: That was fast, they've already added the plain block M sticker.

I liked this edit someone made awhile back on the board or also one of the updated wolverine logos.

Beat you by one minute neener neener. Great minds, etc.

dang it :(

I don't like the first one at all. It looks too corporate, like it was outsourced to a design firm, especially when it sneaks in the winged helmet design. It tries too hard.
The M doesn't really do it for me. Maybe I'm just tired of us having had M's plastered everywhere on the athletic campus under Brandon (there are six on each scoreboard at Michigan Stadium!) but I'd like to do something else.
The classic snarling wolverine is cool and entirely unique - although the old ones were a bit too big.

The first one looks cartoony. If they go that route, we might as well go with Wolverbear. I also like snarling wolverine because we've used it before. Just modernize it and make it smaller.
August 26th, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
I voted Mid-1970's wolverine. That looks pretty cool and isn't busy. I don't want a ton of Block M's all over the helmets.
The Nike and Adidas ones are there to weed out the morons.

Double post.

If we hadn't used those mid 1970s stickers before, they would be last. They're the ugliest IMO but it seems people are voting based on nostalgia. The oval design as a whole is just too large.
August 26th, 2015 at 12:39 PM ^
You've been a member of this Board longer than I've been a Michigan fan (I didn't watch college football before), so not about nostalgia for me.
The throwback aspect is cool, but I just think it looks decent. Simple, straightforward, and honors the fact that we are named after an awesomely ferocious creature.

You will probably not be surprised at my choice.

For Team 134.
August 26th, 2015 at 12:27 PM ^
We're honoring the 2013 team?
August 26th, 2015 at 12:32 PM ^
Bring back the snarling wolverine, but make it a little smaller.
August 26th, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
Plain block M and it's not even close, in my mind. Just make the maize match everywhere - unis, helmets, stickers.
August 26th, 2015 at 12:38 PM ^
Anything with the wolverine on it works for me.... having stickers honoring individual accomplishments say "The Team, TheTeam, The Team" is kind of oxymoronic right?
August 26th, 2015 at 12:51 PM ^
August 26th, 2015 at 12:52 PM ^
man i hope we stick with the block M.. Not a big fan of an actual wolverine image when it comes to the UofM.
August 26th, 2015 at 1:15 PM ^
A smaller version of the mid-1970's wolverine. I don't like the Block M as a helmet sticker since it's already all over the place.
There are 8 M's on the scoreboard. This is pure Dave Brandon and his overboard branding of the Block M.
August 26th, 2015 at 2:33 PM ^
I think the most important question--and it has seemingly been overlooked thus far--is whether any of these sticker designs offer a scratch-and-sniff option? Keep in mind that I haven't participated in any sticker-based motivation systems since maybe first grade. But back then, what I most coveted were those scratch-and-sniff stickers; not those stupid shiny stars, not those damn smiley faces, and certainly not the ridiculous "good job" stickers (as if there were such a thing as a "bad job" sticker). I did a superior job solving 2+2, now give me one of them scratch-and-sniff bastards so I can add it to my collection, which I keep in a binder in my bedroom (which ironically looks like a less coked-out version of WolverineDevotee's, but the bed is a bit more broken in, if you know what i mean. wink, nudge, nudge, wink, nudge, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, nudge, nudge. I'm just kidding. I'm playing the first-grade version of myself in this story, so that would be wierd... I didn't even like Michigan back then.) Alright, I'm going to go stand in the corner and face the wall. But please don't take away my recess.

The jumpman logo in a football without the block M and maize instead of blue
Every 5 stickers gets you a pair of kicks

Don't Mess With College Football's Greatest Helmet! . . . Keep It Clean!
Helmet Stickers Are For Individual Accolades At Lesser Universities . . . Sticker-less, Winged, Maize And Blue Helmets Are For . . .
THE TEAM! THE TEAM! THE TEAM!
Let the lesser universities have them.
August 26th, 2015 at 1:44 PM ^
I don'the know what criteria is use for giving these things out but "nobody" can be so good that their helmet is plastered with these things. Give out too many and 1) they lose their value, 2) they make a great helmet look bad.

Well…
What's more, I believe Bo actually invented helmet stickers, when he was at Miami (NTM).
I think they should be a little smaller than this, but I like them. They're a part of college football.
August 26th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
I deserved that down vote. . . . You got me here. . . . But I still think that what separates Bo Schembechler from those others who've favored and awarded helmet stickers is the importance he placed on . . .
t
And to me, helmet stickers emphasize individual accolades above THE TEAM! THE TEAM! THE TEAM!
If Jim Harbaugh believes that bringing back helmet stickers will be a way to honor the legacy of Bo Schembechler, then I'd have no right to complain.
August 26th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
That was Lloyd's reasoning for getting rid of them.
The Wolverines will don helmet stickers for the first time since the end of the 1994 season, when then-coach Lloyd Carr wanted to focus on team rather than individual accomplishments.
August 26th, 2015 at 1:40 PM ^
I voted for the mid 70'a wolverine but would like a smaller version of it. I also like the wolverine image that sauce Castillo posted above.
What I don'the want is more commercialisation on our uniforms, scoreboard or stadium. If we keep this up we'll look like European footballers or hockey players.
August 26th, 2015 at 1:43 PM ^
I don't like the block M idea simply because Sparty already does it with their block S. I'd go with the snarling wolverine that they previously used. Whatever they decide to go with is fine by me, I always liked the helmet stickers and am glad they will be back (assuming they are).

Snarling Wolverine...but it would be cool to have an additional sticker for epic plays. Punt return against Ohio State should have more value...like a decal of a Screaming Schembechler or inverted color of the Snarling Wolverine kinda like Georgia has two decals
August 26th, 2015 at 2:36 PM ^
I voted for the maize block M. The old 70ies helmet stickers are too big, maybe if they shrank to a quarter of the old size but i'll stick with the block M.

How about noodles?

I'd like to see the skinny 'M' stickers its classic and not over powering like a lot of the footballs. It also seems to be in a resurgence as the symbol of the program (Hail Harbaugh!) Maybe the M could be blue outlined in maize then it wont be as much of a distraction for those who dont want to see the helmet cluttered.
