When Michigan Merchandising Goes Too Far
Are you a Michigan Man or Woman who enjoys the finer things? Have you found the MDen's selections too passe, perhaps even too proletariat for your liking? Do you find your game day attire lacking proper and glamorous markers of your economic station and social comportment?
I give you the $10,000 Swarovski Crystal-studded, full-sized Michigan replica football helmet. Suitable for only the finest of Old Blue formal occasions. Fire up your money cannon, and don't forget the $50 shipping. This is a must for every discerning fan.

There is an ass for every seat.
August 19th, 2018 at 4:41 PM ^
Unless it's a Tigers game longlive. Lots of ass-less seats this year.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:06 PM ^
Lions will be the same!
August 20th, 2018 at 8:42 AM ^
I'm gonna go find a cash machine...
August 20th, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
Was that a subtle Lebowski reference?
August 19th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
$10K and they can't even ship it for free?
August 19th, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
One huge reason I refuse to buy anything off their website. I can spend $200 at your site and you can’t ship for free eat shit
August 19th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
But if you're spending 10k on that, do you even give a shit about an extra 50 bucks?
August 19th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Rich people are just as cheap as anybody else.
August 19th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
That's part of how they get rich.
August 19th, 2018 at 8:54 PM ^
I had it in my shopping cart until they made be pay $50.00 for shipping. That was just unacceptable.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
That looks like something Zach Smith would buy.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
Is that the ball lifter?
August 19th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
Nah, it's missing a dildo on the front for him to want it
August 19th, 2018 at 5:23 PM ^
And wolverine devoter or whatever his name is.
August 20th, 2018 at 12:46 AM ^
Whatever his name is? Nice touch.
August 19th, 2018 at 5:52 PM ^
Lmao. You win.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
Macaroni noodle was my favorite merchandising. Or 2 tickets for a coke.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
A few years ago, I can totally see Dave Brandon patrolling the sidelines wearing this helmet the entire game.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
If I won the lottery that’d be my dining room centerpiece.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
See my post above. :-)
P. S. WD and I chat a lot in DM and I'm just giving him some shit.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
Will these also be on your MGoShopping List?
August 19th, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
Anybody know the pilots who fly the Michigan jet?
August 19th, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
My mom was an ER nurse on the helicopter.
August 19th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Sadly, I knew someone who got a ride in the helicopter. Car w/resident after a 36hr shift vs cyclist. My friend was the cyclist.
August 19th, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
You gave me a great idea. I'm going to buy about 30 helmets and make glass topped tables and end tables out of them!
August 19th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
August 19th, 2018 at 3:11 PM ^
Don’t want. Not Jordan/Nike
August 19th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
What else am I supposed to dangle from my rearview mirror?
August 19th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^
Zach smith could help you order some cool stuff from Amazon.
I wonder if zach was an Amazon Prime member, than at least his shipping would have been free on his $2,000 of adult toy shopping???
August 19th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
A Christmas ornament featuring two matching dangling balls called “M Go Blue Balls” would be nice
August 19th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
"The Swarovski Crystal range includes lead crystal glass sculptures and miniature, jewelry and couture, home decor, and chandeliers. It is best known for its small animal figurines.
Crystal glass is produced by melting a mixture of quartz sand, minium, potash and soda at high temperatures."
So $10K gets you a Michigan helmet bedazzled with leaded glass. Obviously aimed at the "way more money than sense" demographic.
August 19th, 2018 at 6:42 PM ^
I'd like Rashan to be wearing it when he rams it into Lewerke's chin.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
I think we’ll know it went too far when the maize and blue condom with go blue on the side hits the market.
August 19th, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
"Go Blew" :p
August 19th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
Had a few.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
....or the winged helmet.
August 19th, 2018 at 3:37 PM ^
It looks like something Tobias Fünke would wear
August 19th, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
Harbaugh wrong here again
Less is More.
August 19th, 2018 at 4:48 PM ^
He thinks you should have enough children to have a real football game in the backyard.
August 19th, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
you have no idea how much fun that is. and hoops. and just about anything else that needs to get done or is fun to do.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
XM: + infinity
August 19th, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
I saw this at the Victors Collection a week ago and didn't think anything of it. I said to the guys working, lol "look at that. A dedazzled helmet."
Since then, I've seen it on the twitters and now here. Apparently it wrankles people a little more than I thought it would.
To each their own, I guess.
August 19th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
Curious how many other schools have this
August 19th, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
This is what sucks about kids. You have to buy one for each or they get pissy.
August 19th, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
I wonder if OSU will have buckeye branded sex toys soon.
Seems like Zach Smith already did them a solid on the marketing front.
August 19th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
have you seen those buckeye necklaces???
August 19th, 2018 at 8:39 PM ^
They come pre-browned to avoid the usual embarrassment of their use.
