I believe it was said on here that we may get a taste of them at the spring game.Maybe I missed it… when can we expect the uniform reveal?
Seems like the first step, yes? Apparently they are developing lifelike female, ah, robots in Japan. Combine that realism with a ChatGPT interface and maybe that is the start of the cyborg army.Is ChatGPT Skynet?

Wonderful unis/helmet. Bad day.
I mean they're actually heinously bad unis in all of their specific design choices, but whatever.Wonderful unis/helmet. Bad day.
Well, I liked 'em at the time, and liked the helmet, and have fond memories of them. The blue-on-blue not so much, but apparently they were popular as White deployed them often.I mean they're actually heinously bad unis in all of their specific design choices, but whatever.
I do miss those big one-off Rose Bowl shoulder logos.
The ILLINI so awkwardly low down and close to the earhole ruins the whole thing.Wonderful unis/helmet. Bad day.
Agreed on the unis, but absolutely loved those all orange helmets/facemasks with the curved 'ILLINI'I mean they're actually heinously bad unis in all of their specific design choices, but whatever.

I might agree if the Illini logo weren't so bizarrely down by the earhole.Agreed on the unis, but absolutely loved those all orange helmets/facemasks with the curved 'ILLINI'
This is weirdly specific.I asked ChatGPT what the new uniforms are going to look like:
“As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or knowledge, but I can provide factual information.
The University of Illinois is introducing new football uniforms in 2023. The design of the new uniforms features orange, navy blue, and white color schemes accentuated with a striped pattern on the jerseys and pants. These uniforms also have an "I" logo on the sleeves and helmet, which is a nod to the school's athletic program.
The new uniforms have several unique features, such as a new font for the jersey numbers and a subtle nod to the state of Illinois with the state outline on the inner collar of the jerseys. The football team will also have the option to mix and match their uniform pieces such as changing the pants and jersey colors.
Additionally, the new uniforms utilize the latest technology in fabric and design to improve the performance and comfort of the players. This includes lighter-weight materials that provide better ventilation and more flexibility.
Overall, the new University of Illinois football uniforms were designed to represent the school's tradition and history while also incorporating modern style and performance.”
It really is, though ChatGPT only pulls from a record of internet text from I believe 2021? So I don't think it's possible that it has access to, say, some hidden page of FightingIllini.com they've prepared for the launch or whatever.This is weirdly specific.
Great work. Guess that I'm not the only one that goes down random rabbit holes when I have time on my hands.A slow Friday afternoon/evening for me ... do we assume our new uniforms will follow the same color scheme as the current ones? Bret seems to like consistency a lot more than Lovie or even Zook did.

Yeahhh ... I'm incredibly bored waiting for my wife to get off work. However, I must announce that this really didn't take much time! Lol. Bielema seems to be set on the orange helmets, which I agree with. However, I would love for us to mix blue pants in for some road games ... they look slick.
How we looking at the prospects of this for this week?Might get a peek at the spring game
I'm honestly very excited, too. Haha. Here's the thing - you cannot ALWAYS have a good team; very few programs (let alone ones as historically unsuccessful as our dear Illini) avoid rebuilding years. When we are in rough times, I at least want the things we CAN control to give me pride in the Illini. That includes everything from visiting fans telling me how beautiful Memorial Stadium is (FIX THE HORSESHOE!), how fun of a tailgating atmosphere Grange Grove has become (grow those trees faster to actually make it a grove!) and, of course, the Illini looking mighty stylish on that field. On that last note, I have REALLY come to appreciate how unique and catchy our color scheme is within the Big Ten, and there is no excuse for us not to have some really cool, classic jerseys. I am optimistic we are about to get this one right.How we looking at the prospects of this for this week?
I am in the camp of being obsessed with knowing about our new uniforms, but at this point I almost kind of want them to wait until right before the season starts.
Maybe that's stupid. Either way, I can't wait to see the new look of Bielema-ing Illini.
Haven’t heard one way or another. They way Bret normally is and with the forecast looking iffy I’d bet we don’t see them until week 1How we looking at the prospects of this for this week?

Appreciate it!Haven’t heard one way or another. They way Bret normally is and with the forecast looking iffy I’d bet we don’t see them until week 1
They're going to be released on social media in the week or two before the first game. That's how these things are almost always done.Haven’t heard one way or another. They way Bret normally is and with the forecast looking iffy I’d bet we don’t see them until week 1
When you look up "perfection" in the dictionary:^ GOD I hope not. Get that MS Word design back to the trash bin of history, IMO!
