Honestly the "gray ghost" thing...it's fun. Let them have their one thing. It's unique by Illinois standards. As long as it's not permanently integrated into the rest of their brand through accents and stuff, it's fine. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

BJ Sands Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The old set had too many striping problems and inconsistencies. This takes care of that and stresses the school colors. I'm fine with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell happened to them In football, at least, they play in a conference with Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State. I'll give them 50/50 odds against Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland. Not sure about basketball. Others on here probably have a theory. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Not really a Nike problem, it's what teams want now. It's a trend that people like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all-orange looks like pumpkins. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It looks like an intern had a template file given to them, and after he put the I on the helmet he was fired. Nike thought he was done, and they shipped it anyway. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

OnWis97 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Looks like I have some business in the Unpopular Opinions thread... ...I like the Illinois change. I've always liked uniforms with no white, though (Iowa State, Cavalies, etc.) I also did not like that orange shiny helmet from last year...it came off almost looking like a shiny version of Texas's color. I think this helmet is a sizeable upgrade. I like the orange and blue jersey. I wish the white would outline the numbers. I wish the pants 1) had stripes and 2) we not worn with the same-colored jersey. Also, don't prefer the gray. Though I don't like that the 9 is not just and upside-down six.

Wisconsin uses the same number font for football and basketball, but not all sports. Hockey is very close, but seems slightly off and then baseball just does its own thing entirely. Really helps tie together a brand. Baseball at Wisconsin??? Club sport only, if they have that even. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The Illinois new uniforms are exactly like Syracuse's minus the 44 degree angle lines on the numbers and the shoulder caps. Now usually Illinois and Syracuse redo their uniforms the same time, so maybe stay tuned, but otherwise man that's way too similar Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I actually don't mind those Illinois uniforms. The subtle "I" on the front of the jerseys is pretty cool. However, I still wish they'd embrace the zig-zag stripe across all sports. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The past set was great this version is syracuse getting the wazzu treatment. Nike must have run out of extra colors after the titans redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 These are just boring, with almost no design elements once so ever. They also lack the color balance that made the last set somewhat decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Some Oregon players have been testing out some new jerseys from Nike, as seen here on Ugo Amadi (#7): Tough to see the details, but this could be something to keep on a eye out for, as it very likely could be a prototype for Nike’s next template.

It's just the Vapor Unstoppable template. No changes from last year. You can see the back of number 30 has the mesh pattern there. Other pics on the site show that the green has the same pattern as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his jersey again, specifically the collar and chest with the seams going from above the armpit area to just above the numbers. And then on the back you can see a new horizontal seam above the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
