    I like the look of the rounded top with clock over the squared off look as well.

    And even though it's not necessary, I liked the clock with the old english D!

    I liked it too. Very 'old school'. If they had just replaced most of the middle with an led screen I woulda been fine with it. Oh well.

    Agree, they could have left the whole board except for the screens and just upgraded that. This sign has a lot more character for sure.

    Everything you guys said. Old one had more panache. Also, wish they would've made the tigers on each side bronze from the start and just let them patina. I think that would've been sweet.

    Good call on the bronze tigers. Has to be the first time "patina" has ever been used on this board. Well done, MCJ.

    After seeing how cool HD video boards can be in person at Michigan Stadium this past season, I think this is gonna be pretty damn cool at CoPa.
