They ripped off major elements from both schools' new floors.The stained state outline started in Texas. A&M had a huge state outline long before Illinois had it. Funny how you're not suggesting Illinois should pay the fine folks in College Station. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Funny how you're not suggesting Illinois should pay the fine folks in College Station.I know they had it first. Texas A&M has much more contrast between the light and dark wood. My problem with Ohio St. is they took design elements from two schools in their own conference and used the exact same shades for the light and dark shades as Illinois. If they weren't in the same conference I wouldn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I just wish Ohio State went back to the design they had in the late 80s, early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Everyone does that now so it's not ripping off Michigan as much as following the trend. I'm not sure about HD but the whole floor is difficult to see in SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 With Vanderbilt's change, does this mark the death of the circus font? Kansas ditched to become all-Trajan, all-the-time. Aside from the Commodores, Illinois State also used it last season - anyone else?Does anyone know the official name of this font (or a good approximation of it)?

PhlyBoy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Will be worn against Nebraska when they wear their red ones. According to the article, they'll be worn for both meetings with Nebraska.

illwauk Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Holy Motion-W overkill, Batman! But at least Milwaukee no longer has the ugliest uniforms in the state. And at least I'll be able to enjoy Wright State's unis as I watch them clobber us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
