    when the hell are they going to change the one on the stadium to follow suit instead of the 80s light blue Michigan through the middle?

    I have no issues with this play. The Split M Michigan had been slowly moving away from a cleaner look from the 1990s to what was likely an easier to print one (seriously, I could do a blog post on it, but there's not enough time at the moment.). The Block M is a good choice. I do wonder if they're going to go with this at Yost, since it will be very hard to see a straight Maize M on the white ice.

    Looks good, in fact suspiciously like the new (old) block M now adorning this board!
    Back to the future….

    I have to admit, I prefer both the block M with the blue outline and the block M with the Michigan through. The plain maize M just looks too generic, too similar to Minnesota for me.

    That said, I certainly wouldn't make a John Pollack-esque fuss over it. We're all Michigan fans, let's get it done. GO BLUE!

    Posting this editorial note to the comments – I got a call from Bruce Madej at U-M Media Relations on this. He advises that this logo is not "new", in fact the Block M with the blue outline is used in certain media/TV situations and still at midfield today. Madej did confirm that there is an effort to have a more consistent look to the logo. For the record.

    Sorry, but we are the Maize 'n Blue, not just Maize. I like the BLue border as it is more distinctive. Also when placed against other background colors, the block M with blue border stands out more. This one doesn't.

    Little brother did this months ago with the MSU logos. I guess we need to follow suit. If you can't beat 'em, join em.
