STL FANATIC Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Thanks illini1. I've been checking the galleries for this for a while.I moved up here to Champaign on Saturday, but I hadn't found any good pictures yet.I still hate em.I could deal with crazy piping. But they they threw out the orange pants. And the piping doesn't line up unless they where all-one-color (and they clearly aren't gonna do that all the time). And the helmet is still traditionally striped.They suck. They're awful. And while a part of me really wants to pick one of these up for as fan wear, I hate these on the players, and I don't know if I feel comfortable "supporting" the jerseys with my money.The broke tradition and they broke design fundamentals. It's gross.I've got nothing against a modern design. Just do it with the past in mind and with good design. This did niether.Don't worry though. I'll find a way to talk to Ron Zook. More and more it's sounding like I might be able to actually (the student fan organization--Block I, which I'm a part of now, sounds like it may get those types of opportunities, but I dunno.) Anyways though, if I do, believe you me, I'll let him know my thoughts on what the Illini should be wearing.

Hat Boy Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Meh. They look like any number of other uniforms that have debuted over the past few years.Is the blue outline around the helemt logo new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Is the blue outline around the helemt logo new? It was there last year. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 They look better on the players than on the hangers. But they still suck. The only thing that Nike did for us that I like was create the "Circle I" logo. On a side note, there were some excellent Illini uniforms created on this site awhile back....searching....ah, here they are. Don't know if you all had a chance to see them, but take a look.http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?sh...l=illinois&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I love the Circle I logo. Not sure how Illini fans would feel about it, but I really think it should go on the helmets. Here it is on the hip of the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Anybody else ever wonder how Nike can design fourteen new, unique uniforms for Oregon each year, but they give every other school the same damn templated jerseys to wear?I'm so sick of Nike.

gordie_delini Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 it also has to do with the individual athletic directors and equipment managers for the school. and yeah, i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that the president of nike, not to mention its headquarters, have something to do with oregon.....

STL FANATIC Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 To clarify, the new Illinois uniforms are unique to Illinois. But yes, pretty much every element in them is used by some other team...just no other team uses the same combination of elements.

jimsimo Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 To further claify - Illinois new uniforms really suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneerswin58 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Orange pants would make it look better, but it looks like crap with white ones. Especially with an orange helmet. The uniforms before were classic and nike had to screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningfan Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The navy outline around helmet logo looks great. Great upgrade started last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
