Need your help!?! (Michigan Mascot)
Hello Everyone,
I need your help here... I had been working on woodcraft on few college cartoon mascots with sign language ASL (American Sign Language) like "ILY", "RTR", "WDE" etc.... With Michigan, I know there used to be Willy the Wolverine in the 20's and 30's. So is there any present Wolverine Cartoon that representing Michigan? If you can lead me to find them or something that would be great. Here some of my work gives you an idea.

a movement to get support for Willy in the early 90s, but it failed. Not that Blocky the M running around the field was ever a winner.
I like being mascot free on the sidelines.

Well, there's the Wolverbear.

Wolverbear T-shirts, they love them.
It's a pretty cool retro logo that I don't EVER want to see on the sidelines.
Side note, wtf was up with the sailor cap craze that seemingly swept every damn college mascot back in the day? Was is all just WW2 patriotic spirit? I seem to remember a lot of them in pre-war photos as well.
EDIT: Found a pretty informative answer to my question here.

Yup--one rogue Disney animator designed a bunch of logos for schools. Some are still in use--the Wolfpack rocked their's on their helmets this year.

like the pop-art masterpiece that it is; but major kudos to (Seth?) whomever decided to include that feature in the player interviews.
Pure gold.

I was so prepared to neg the heck outta this thread. I highly recommend you change the name.

I was ready to mock this too then saw the cause and answered it straight. The o.p. has a good cause behind the request.

Signing with the Heisman hand would be possible I guess
Or this because there are a ton of pics out there to choose from
Or this stupid concept :

There has never been a widely accepted wolverine caricature/mascot for U-M, so there is no official design or template to use. You're going to have to come up with your own.

There's the WolverBear, and there's the other wolverine alternate logo:
Inspiration from these inflatables maybe?:
You could use Willy, but I highly don't recommend it. My idea for you is to just do a cartoon Harbaugh, Bo, or football player.

He looks so cute! I want one as a pet!!
But he would rather eat your face off than snuggle in front of the fire... Perhaps they're best left in the wild.

That brings back unpleasant memories. There were a couple of tools behind the whole thing and, IIRC, they wanted about 99.3% of all proceeds (T-shirts, hats, etc.) related to Willy ... all in exchange for sharing their *great* idea with the athletic department.

Their differences were too great to overcome.
