The 2014 Illini Nike Uniforms and Rebrand

[MikeThomas4Prez]

Weird question - it seems like last year the basketball team was pretty free to pick the shoes they wore. Will that change now so they're all the same?

All I know is those orange KDs would look sick with the gray and orange unis.

Another moving screen:doh:

I see what you did there.

Did you read the reasoning for the numbers looking like they do? "They are tall and skinny to represent the New York skyline" or something along those lines. They looked just plain silly.

Was unaware that Syracuse moved its campus to NYC (sarcasm) . That would be like us using the Chicago skyline.

I thought there was a rule against two-toned/ gradient numbers, like Arizonas were last year? Maybe it's just my poor eyesight, but the Syracuse white uni looks like it uses something similar to Arizonas

Exactly. I wasn't a fan of the blue shoes a lot of them wore.

So this logo will be seen much less during football season - maybe 3-4 times per year? 5 times if we're lucky?

I am getting way too Fanboyish over this whole thing. Sandstorm now? Damn. Shouldn't be this excited for something this simple

 

[KJKobs]

Nothing like a little Sandstorm to get everyone in the mood

Makes me picture Mike Thomas coming on stage twirling light sticks.

That's what I have.

Just drank an Orange Crush, I am ready!

New thought. With there being a secondary color palette, another custom alphabet for Fighting Illini, etc., maybe that's why they leaked the others last night. Maybe those won't be shown because of time constraints and they'll focus on the others instead.

We're probably hooked into the main screen, right?

Video feed or sandstorm?

 

[mossimo142]

Ok good. I'm sporadically refreshing to make sure I'm not missing something!

It is the feed you can hear the crowd in the background. They just have an overlay on the screen till they are ready.
