The uniforms really aren't bad. They might actually be cool. The problem is that Syracuse did it first. It's their uniform. Flat out. That's what bothers me.
Fair enough, but that's not remotely a new problem

I'll wait to see the other combos, but so far im fine with them as a whole.
The Block-I is unforgivable though. It's such an easy fix that im floored that it hasnt been changed.
Penny for your thoughts on my hot take: just get rid of the helmet logo entirely. Modern helmets have too much going on in too many different brands and styles for there to be a consistently available blank space of any size.
Take that all for what its worth haha. I have a TON of thoughts of how a football team should look and more often than not, they are unpopular opinions and very rigid. And I have to avoid turning every post into a thesis.

Are you even an Illini fan? #OrangeIsLife
And what about when the basketball team takes the floor, are they going to match the color values the football team is wearing?
The university is steeped in rich history, and there is nothing wrong with tapping into that history to revitalize your brand. Please don't think I am referring to the Chief...the university had a brand before/after him. I understand Nike used the history-methodology to create the new marks, but forcing a new identity through the disguise of history is not the same. There are many talented people at the university within their own walls (or columns) that were/are qualified to take on this important task.
I am confident this will be the case. The rebrand stuff has standardized the colors as advertised.

"standardized"
That's the same hue in a different finish and I will engage in an old-timey bare knuckle boxing match with all who dare disagree. Have at you!
Just not on the helmet decal... :noidea:

Doesn't matter. It's different... in nearly every circumstance and every angle... Argue if you want, I know that's what you do. But it's still different. Cut the helmet out of that photo cut the jersey out of the photo, take them to Home Depot (they should know orange, right?) and I guarantee your wife will be pissed when you paint adjacent walls with each can of paint.....
yeah yeah yeah, hold it just right, take a shot (or three) of whiskey, squint your eyes just this way, and MAYBE you can convince the other guy doing shots with you, that they match.....
Also different, in the same way IMO.
Plastic and fabric are not the same thing, some of this is just inherent.
Youre right, youre never going to match them 100%. But these are a lot closer. They wont come close to our old shells though. For how bad these unis were, they oranges were ON POINT!
It looks like such a late 2000's uniform, but it fits well in that time period.
