Vintage UNIVERSITY of MICHIGAN Stadium Poncho Fringed Blanket Wool Wolverines lone star quilt 10% Cotton"This is an interesting old poncho made of what looks to me to be a fringed wool picnic blanket. It has an interlocking UM at the centre front in block letters, and given the colour combination of blue and yellow, I believe that it is a University of Michigan piece. I think that it is quite old, possibly 1930s era, judging by the wool and the sewn on letters, but it might be a little later. Ive seen the interlocking U and M on an old Michigan pennant
