Illinois Football Uniforms

I know I've said it before, but dropping the blue outline from the ILLINOIS helmet is a huge improvement from the late ILLINOIS era. It really just helps it pop in such a good way. I'm so glad we have all been able to see what the helmet looks like with a good uniform set.

And what I said is not contradictory. While having the entire state name is unique - it’s banal. No creativity to it at all and the original motivation was so people knew who we were. And this version of the full state name is a knockoff at that. So you have the full state name because we’re incapable of doing better, and then do it in a style that’s not uniquely ours anyhow.

I’d love to see what actual graphic artists think but it is the worst look in all of college football.

the word ILLINI on the helmet is much more unique than the state name .

i’m not crazy about the state outline at midfield either . the Block I by itself is best
i’m fine with the name Illinois in the endzones
