"Unapologetic Mighican Football." That is exacly how fans should view the program, and how the program should view other programs. We make no apologies for the program doing what it takes to motivate and win (e.g., helmet stickers), no matter how those tactics may violate our sense of aesthetics, and the team - and coaches -  make no apologies to other teams for those tactics. If the program does something, go all out, do it with pride, not with timidity or half-heartedness. And definitely with no apologies.

..little stickers in the shape of the state of Michigan.  Some of the sweaters coaches wore on the sidelines last year had small maize state of michigan images on them.  Looked good to me.

I'm not a big fan of cluttering the helmet with maps, flags or any stickers. If you have to pay tribute to something(like the flag after 9/11) just put a patch on the jersey for that game.

Sparty even paid tribute to Boston with a Red Sox sticker.

I don't like anything cluttering up the best looking helmet in the universe.  I don't like the uniformclutter in general.  If it were up to me, I'd favor even removing the helmet manufacturer's labeling from the Michigan helmet.

But if we are going to have them, then I like OccaM's photo, the seal of the university, or tiny outlines of the state of Michigan. 

On the last one, who cares what MSU does or does not do with their helmet clutter?  They have terrible uniforms no matter what stickers they put on or leave off of their ugly helmets.

What about a buckeye with a slash through it.  Not talented enough to create that graphic but somebody else can try.  Kidding of course.

I really don't like the idea of the Block M. It just looks wrong to have 50 block Ms on a helmet. Looks like you're a really big fan of whatever you ate for the pregame meal. MMMMMM

Shrink the original footballs down to about half the size. With the little wolverine and football laces inset, they'll blend right into the helmet, to the extent that all you'll see from afar is the faint outlines of the football. Less ostentatious.

I saw it in another thread, but smaller Bo style block M's on a clear sticker. Still iconic, small enough to not get in the way it distract from the wings. Other than that, I'd prefer no stickers.

There are plenty M's on the uniforms, the fan apparel and all around the stadium.  How about a "Y" for Yost?  It'd also lend itself to several great looking tesselations.

Holy hell. Beat Staee this coming season and I don't care what is on the helmets. Tired of the horrible streak Michigan has been on in football, hockey, and (except for two seasons) basketball. Time to start doing the talking on the field. Just win.

Invent different denominations, like currency or Roman numerals.  Keep them very small.  They don't need to seen by fans, since it is a motivational recognition process for the team.  This would minimize clutter - for example:

1 - small football

5 - snarling wolverine

10 - block M

25 - winged helmet

Regardless of sticker type, Harbaugh will surely have an equipment expert to install the stickers in perfect alignment.
