Has anyone seen this Michigan product before?
Was searching ebay the other day and found something I have never seen before.
It's called a gLogo by Danbury Mint. Danbury Mint made the coolest Michigan things back in the early-mid 2000s like the rivalry figurines and such.
Picked up on ebay for $15 and picked it up locally so I'd have it in time for the game.
It's a Block M that suction cups to your window on the inside of your car/SUV/truck. It plugs in via your car lighter outlet. The Block M has a Blue backing so the light isn't a distraction at night for the driver. I took it out last night to try it out and it was fine.
Does anyone have any info on this? The packaging doesn't say what year it was made but I did read on the packaging that there were apparently versions of this sold for your home windows that had an electrical outlet plug instead of a car plug.
I've never seen anything like this before and am wondering if anyone else has.

While I appreciate over-the-top fandom as much as the next man, I want to punch whoever owns that car in the perineum...
October 12th, 2018 at 12:02 PM ^
Now now, c'mon, man. What did WD ever do to you?
October 12th, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
Needs the old block M perineal tattoo.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:22 AM ^
No, but I work in the town next to Danbury, CT... I'll take a drive during lunch and let you know what I find.
October 12th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
Ridgefield or Newtown?
October 12th, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
My god dude, I get you're a huge fan... but damn, there are times you can say no to a U of M product.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
What about this?
4" diameter
October 12th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
Got one.
October 12th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Well, sure, but this clearly isn't one of those times.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:29 AM ^
This would look cool on my camper! I may have to get one!
October 12th, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
This would look great over my bar. Now I just need to get a bar and I'll be all set.
Seriously, though, that would look cool in a camper, bar, garage...
October 12th, 2018 at 11:31 AM ^
I would hang that in my garage, but not the car.
Never seen anything like it.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Trash.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
So there is such a thing as five block Ms too many.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
My mom got me one for Christmas as a sort of stocking stuffer about 15 years ago. It never lit up and looked cheesy.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
That would certainly pull my attention from the road if I saw it driving by me
October 12th, 2018 at 1:41 PM ^
Yeah, it may not be distracting to the driver inside the car but definitely distracting to other drivers.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:44 AM ^
I'm sure soon a representative from law enforcement will let you know why they don't sell them anymore.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:45 AM ^
Are there any laws about external lights on vehicles? You say it's not a distraction for the driver... what about the other drivers?
October 12th, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
The rules are no red/blue lights IIRC. But that probably varies by jurisdiction. And I'm probably wrong.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
Is that legal? It certainly seems like it wouldn't be, but I don't know.
My very quick Google search seems to find posts focused on adding additional lights for illumination (e.g., on the top of your pickup truck) but I didn't find anything about side windows.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:47 AM ^
This is a car you see and just know that they'll spend most of their time on the interstate doing 3 mph over the limit in the inside lane, and then give you a dirty look when you finally give up and pass them on the right.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:52 AM ^
It’s called the left or speed lane.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
Maybe where you're from that is what it is called. Where I'm from it is the inside or passing lane.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
You need to move from that area
October 12th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
Passing lane, yes. Never heard it referred to as the inside lane. A little misleading/confusing on a three or more lane highway because what is it the inside of? The three lanes I can see or the entire freeway in both directions?
October 12th, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
How is the concept of "inside" difficult? The median is the center, and the inside lane is the one closest to it. On a three lane highway, you drive in the center, exit from the outside lane, and pass in the inside lane. I understand that safe driving practices are generally difficult for Michigan drivers to understand, but I figured you folks could keep up with the vocab.
October 12th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Well why don't you just call it the lane closest to the median?
j/k
October 12th, 2018 at 11:49 AM ^
Cut the guy some slack. This is just showing love for his team. Now if he were to dress up like the bedsheet cowboy and run around the stadium then that’s an issue.
October 12th, 2018 at 11:54 AM ^
How sure are any of us that it's not WD inside the Murderwolv costume?
I've never seen them in the same place at the same time.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Or Murderwolv inside a WD costume
October 12th, 2018 at 11:58 AM ^
First, I don't get why people are giving the OP so much shit for his obsessive fandom. He found something that he truly enjoys, so good for him. While I don't come close to WD in this department, I also spend WAY too much on Michigan-related products.
As for this product, I don't personally like it for a car. Looks a bit tacky, but that's just my own opinion. I would, however, LOVE this product for one of my windows during the holiday season. It would be a nice Michigan touch to my holiday lights.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
That's an excellent idea. I have a pretty elaborate Christmas display (inside and out), but other than a couple ornaments on the tree I really don't have anything Michigan related.
Now I have to buy one. For each window of my house.
October 12th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Are you the same guy that types "FRESHH!" whenever someone posts those fake alternate uniforms on Instagram? Because that would explain a lot.
October 13th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
I too buy way to much Michigan crap I don’t need. Bought the yeti cooler at Mden a few weeks ago because it had the block M. Never mind that it was exactly like the white 45 yeti I had in the back of the suv, minus the M.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
Meh, it's the wrong shade of maize. Too "highlighter-y."
October 12th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
Hey guys, check out this Michigan buttplug that plays the victors when you fart. I bought 30 of them because I love the team so much.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:15 PM ^
If someone makes a buttplug that plays The Victors I'll buy one. And I can think of at least a few board regulars who would as well.
Add a wolverine tail to it and I'll pay twice the price.
October 12th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Count me in ... ping me if you ever find one
October 12th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Damn you. They were out of stock when I went to that site to buy some.
October 12th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
Or it could just be that Zach Smith was on the site before you as well.
October 12th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
You should send a few to Zach Smith.
October 13th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
Sounds to OSU for a Michigan fan.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:09 PM ^
Could mean Cincinnati Moeller High School too.
October 12th, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
That's just tacky as shit.
October 12th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
One man's tacky, well it's probably another man's tacky
October 12th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
A must-have for the Thanksgiving trip to Columbus!
October 12th, 2018 at 12:31 PM ^
Drive with that on in Ohio and it's a big "smash this glass please" sign
