IIRC, the mock-up on presented when they released the feasibility study showed a sweater where the logo was a block I. Of course, this would be down the road a few years so these things change. As a member of Team Shield, I sure hope this isn't the beginning of the end.
Say, something like this, though football jersey? I could get behind that bigtime. Stripes across the top of the shoulders makes the shoulders look bigger and more intimidating, and has an old school look for old school (and old) people like me. Number on front and cut for football, but yeah, the more I see this, the more I like it.
I'm really not seeing the similarities that you apparently are. There are lots of subtle and not so subtle differences here, and the retro one is still way way better.I am disappointed but unsurprised that all the Central Illinois boomer dads are howling about these new uniforms after they've spent a decade wetting themselves over damn near the exact same thing
Would using the white pants with the home uniform make everyone happy? The Butkus-era team wore both orange and white pants, from what I can gather.
I agree. It would be moot, anyway, because that's where you'd put the number. I was just talking about the overall look adapted to a football design. I like the shoulder stripes.
