I like it so much better than the other banner.  The only problem is that "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't activate that brand" plus the picture of a perplexed Harbaugh has the potential to be incredibly prescient and foreboding in an infinitely painful way.

Um.....you do realize the banner that's up right now has been up since the official MgoBlog 3.0 was launched right?  The banner hasnt changed in months.

Now...I think it sucks balls and would love to see that fucking thing go right into the trash but MgoManagement loves the damn thing.

EDIT: Cleared cache and there it is.  Sorry OP.  You're right.  Confused Harbaugh is < shitty new banner which was < old, old banner.

I look at it differently.

It's Jim Harbaugh's obvious response to the profusion of critical comments on this very blog.

Like "Just what the fuck do you guys want from me?"

All I see is a blank blue horizontal bar supported by two giant, blank pillars of (used to be white) gray: Site rendering by Keystone Kops.

Edit to add: Caching disabled. Shift-refresh anyway, no change.

Lol I had to clear my cache too. I had no idea what you guys were talking about. I love the design but the image of Harbaugh is kind of just weird. Maybe rotate in different players with a similar background treatment. The contrast of the MGOBLOG in the foreground and the stadium masked in blue in the background looks great.

Perfectly appropriate.

Not anger or manic intensity or steely will or "who's got it better than us" argle-bargle, but befuddlement on the part of our head coach.

I think I get it now.   It's a picture of Harbaugh actually looking at the new banner. 

I realized this when I saw my own reflection looking at it and I had the same expression on my face.

How likely is it that they produced a bunch of banners and will change it every week depending on the outcome of the game? That would make sense that they waited until now to change it and that they commissioned it so early on. Much harder to make a bazillion options than one banner.

I, for one, am superstitious enough to believe that this languishing of the program is completely tied to the 'can't activate that brand' quote. It is holding us back. Change the quote now so JH can activate his brand starting this Saturday. Desperate times call for desperate measures so unless Brian has an all-pro left tackle in his pocket - he must change that quote!!!

Brian might want to be wary of running afoul of the State of Michigan's common law right of publicity or the tort of appropriation.  As MGoBlog is not using Harbaugh's likeness on the banner in the context of reporting news, but rather commercially exploiting Harbaugh's pecuniary interest in his likeness.  While this is not legal advice, you might want to consider changing the banner to avoid any potential legal ramifications arising from the unauthorized use of his likeness for commercial purposes.
