2015 vs. Richmond Spiders 2 posters

The 2015 GameDay posters focus on James Madison University's quarterback, Lavaedeay "Vad" Monlique Lee, implying he will lead them to victory. Vad Lee had a strong season in 2014 by taking James Madison University to the FCS playoffs and led a strong 2015 season leading up to the Richmond game, season statistics were (7-0; 4-0) at this point in the season. These posters center on Vad's leadership skills as quarterback and cheer him on through various pop culture references from 2015.

2017 vs. Villanova Wildcats 14 posters

The 2017 GameDay posters primarily focus on James Madison University's strength as a team, and school, over Villanova. Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's "superior taste" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them. One poster references an inside joke to James Madison University students about how Villanova will lose the football game because they are not fans of the correct condiment. There are some posters that center less on the animosity of the two teams and instead are saying hello to friends and family.

2023 vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers 54 posters

Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
