Printed ticket
The "block S" is upside down!
Fateful Flaw?

No wonder we lost... the fates were against us! (ha ha) The "special commemorative ticket" included the logos of the two schools. But the graphic artist (James A. Gardner of Detroit Lions/Ford Field?) inverted MSU's "block S" logo. It's UPSIDE DOWN! Take a close look...

  • The "drop shadow" should fall to the lower right, but the shadow on the printed ticket falls to the upper left.
  • An "S" is not symmetrical. The upper portion is slightly smaller than the lower. Yet the upper portion of the "block S" on the printed ticket is slightly larger.

Inverted ticket
Compare this "block S" to the one on the printed ticket. This is how the "block S" should appear.
