illini1 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 This was tweeted about the Illinois rebrand:"@ALionEye Heard more whispers about the Nike rebrand. The rumors of an alternate white helmet are apparently true. It's real, and it's spectacular."I think a white helmet with a stripe of that pattern on the basketball uniforms a few years ago would be pretty sweet. They've been showing recruits that for a year or so now. Unfortunately, I doubt that it's what we'll be seeing.That's a shame because those are some good looking helmets. I love that they used a grey face mask as well. It really makes them look sharp.I'm not crazy about the grey facemask. If they were to use that helmet the should use an orange, blue or white facemask to match the jersey being worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorback447 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I guess in in the minority on the grey face mask lol. I just think it would look sharp with a white jersey and pants. I do agree however that a matching face mask would look great with the blue or orange jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the uniform is simple and clean without too much modern clutter, the gray mask would look great. Â http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstein Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Louisville has a new all black alternate for this season.If those are new, why do they have American patches on them and not ACC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ohio state getting chrome helmet stripe?https://twitter.com/philhecken/status/447484594578006016It's probably the Equipment Manger trying to ruin a good look, or it could be a recruiting tool that will never be worn in a game.

WSU151 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Arizona could improve the decal placement. It looks like they could shift it higher and forward about an inch or two.

wonderbread Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Honestly, I don't get the hate these helmets get, they look good IMO and they are safer then before. I get the safety aspect of them but they just dont look good to me, and i like the original revo, and revo speed helmets. This helmet just is way too awkward looking, it looks like a cone head, with very random vent holes, and that flap or what ever you want to call it in the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im quite surprised they just didnt go sans American logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
