Wolverines Primary Logo

The Michigan Wolverines are one of the most iconic college sports teams in the United States. The team has a long and storied history, dating back to 1879 when they began as an independent athletic club. Throughout its history, they have had several different primary logos that represent its school's spirit and identity.

The first logo for the Wolverines was designed in 1902 by former student Charles Wills and featured a red "M" with two diagonal stripes on either side of it. This logo was used until 1939 when it was replaced by another design featuring a blue block “M” with yellow trim around it. This new design remained unchanged until 1983 when changes were made to make the “M” more modernized looking; this version is still used today as part of Michigan's official branding system known as M-Logo2K3 (ML2K3).

In 2011, yet another change came about for Michigan's primary logo: an updated version featuring thicker lines on both sides of the letter M that resembled wings or feathers which symbolize strength and power - qualities embodied by all Wolverine athletes regardless of sport or gender! The current ML2K3 also includes other elements such as maize accents along with white outlines which further accentuate its presence while maintaining its traditional look overall - making sure everyone knows who represents them every time they take to the field or court!
