I think that's a fair assessment. I'm extremely pro-orange, but our away uniforms are screaming out for a hint of blue. Much like our home uniforms need a hint of white, especially after we reincorporated white into the helmets. Honestly, we can't get new uniforms soon enough. Nike, please don't mess it up next year. We desperately need good football uniforms.
Michigan's helmet is really the only iconic looking uniform on the list, OSU in first strictly because well it's Ohio State. The rest of the uniforms are pretty much a crapshoot as most are pretty generic. Iowa and MSU get the great Logo bump.
Agree with going with blue rather tan orange pants.
I'm such a broken record with this, but I think the objective should be to "have a consistent look." Blue pants could be great on the road, I just hate that under Lovie we seemed to mix and match at random. Wearing variations of our "standard" uniforms should be a special occasion, not a weekly vote by the players. Lol.Agree with going with blue rather tan orange pants.
That will become an evergreen classic up there with "MIZNOZ." Not sure which is more ridiculous: that no one in the football program caught the error, or that none of the IU player(s) wearing the jerseys apparently noticed either.I would have preferred this photo for IU's section.

The uniform failure is orders of magnitude worse than a perfectly timed picture of some fans holding a sign upside down. But… Miznoz makes me smile involuntarily every single time I see it, no matter how often I’ve seen it. Every single time. I’m chuckling while I type this. Indiana will never become Indinia, but that other school will be Miznoz for the rest of my life.That will become an evergreen classic up there with "MIZNOZ."

I think the best part of it is the REAL ENTHUSIASM of the two girls holding up the signs.The uniform failure is orders of magnitude worse than a perfectly timed picture of some fans holding a sign upside down.

It’s either a collective blunder of epic proportions or it’s a genius diversion.That will become an evergreen classic up there with "MIZNOZ."

These are my favorite. Classic look and they can use helmet decals, script ILLINI or the numeric.I'm such a broken record with this, but I think the objective should be to "have a consistent look."

Who is our very talented graphic design friend, again?? I think it's time to see a mock-up (home-away-alternate) based on these 2008 throwbacks with our current script "Illinois" on the helmet and some touched up striping!
I think the best part is that the three upturned letters make three perfectly good letters. zou / noz.I think the best part of it is the REAL ENTHUSIASM of the two girls holding up the signs.

That made me lol. Well done.It’s either a collective blunder of epic proportions or it’s a genius diversion.
(Maybe both somehow?) Lol
It’s terribly distracting. You’re saying: “wait a second!” Next thing ya know they’re in the end zone.
Inevitably a new permutation that will distract fans from the miserable fall weather in Eugene.or course, i will always turn on and Oregon game to see what they've come up with next.
Are you talking about the 2014-2017 era helmets? I did like those in a vacuum. I don't think they were really sustainable in the long run because the orange didn't match. But I did like them as a fresh look at the time.i think im the only one who likes the metallic orange helmets from 4 or 5 years ago.
Hey, now…Inevitably a new permutation that will distract fans from the miserable fall weather in Eugene.
I'm reminded of chatting with someone in Portland (who grew up in a relatively sunny part of the US) ~ 20 yrs ago who noted that every May when the first truly sunny day of the calendar year bestows itself upon the city, people go nuts, expose way too much flesh, and suffer inevitable sunburns the next day. Reminds me of living in the UK.Hey, now…
