University of Michigan tartan

[Daaaaang]

As some of you know, I am trying to get the University of Michigan to adopt a tartan. On a whim, I designed one, and was wondering what y'all thought about it. UM's colors are blue and maize, so I basically just worked with that.

Here it is!

Keep in mind that it is my first draft.

Thanks,
Matt!

I quite like it. Try adding another colour stipe though, see if it pops.

But what colour? I'm reluctant to add green or red, as our main two rivals are green-white and red-white.

I'm glad you like it, by the way. Thanks!

Then two black stripes to represent the demise of the competition . A red stripe would be fine. It'd only be as wide as the white. The blue and maize are the dominant colours don't worry if the other guys are red (or green). The colours should symbolize something if that helps.

Very nice...I like it!!
I'm not sure if it is perhaps just my monitor, but it merits mentioning: make sure the blue is our very deep Michigan blue!

The blood of the competition?

Red
Purple

maybe brown instead of red....representing "the little brown jug"

edited note: of course keep the white, for the "Cold War"

How about scarlet and silver? Those would make it pop! GO BUCKEYES!!!

I like it as is. Can't see it needing anything.
What size is the sett? I'd like to see it box pleated to the white stripe.

Interesting, what about adding a white stripe in the blue field and pleating to that. Have the golden maize flash from the kilt swing.
