Ok, I will admit it:
Adidas is finally figuring out how to make clean football uniforms.

Why do I have the feeling that our updated jerseys will look similar to these?

I just love the 80's helmet, check my profile pic and I think you'll get the sleeve design.

I guess:
1. They got some of their soccer people and hockey people working on their football jerseys
2. The soccer people got the hang of American football jerseys

Cause it seems like every new nike jersey is similar sleeve wise. I hope we avoid something like this, how can something so basic be so ugly?

To be fair you quoted a pic of an Adidas jersey and posted another of an Under Armour jersey, so it might not just be a Nike problem!
Looks pretty good. Helps that Texas is a wide state. Good letter/background (state) symmetry. IMO, Illinois is too tall and narrow to look good on a helmet. Stick with the Block I.UTRGV starts football in 2025.... and their orange script helmets are amazing.
Hoping if we do go script it looks as nice as these.

That same Vaqueros script probably would suit a baseball jersey, too.UTRGV starts football in 2025.... and their orange script helmets are amazing.

It's already been pointed out that this is a UA uniform, but also, that particular stripe is something that Northwestern claims credit for and makes a (weirdly) big deal about, so whatever you want to say about it, it's not just template design.
I swear we have bot accounts on this board that are set to randomly and nonsensically complain about Nike in the off season and Chicago media in-season.

Could you imagine our lovie/beckman era sticker guys trying to place a script illinois on a helmet...

Hysterical they claim that, and I know it's UA. I'm far from a complainer about nike, they are the best college football uni maker, and I make my concepts using a Nike uniform. I just want to stay away from these style of sleeve (my original point I worded poorly).

I don't dislike it as much as you do, but I do agree that for us in particular, that pattern would likely have too much white or too much orange. This is just my personal opinion, but I think that what really makes our colors pop is the perfect combination of navy, orange and white. Those three colors really look great together, IMO, especially for a college uniform.
That is why I find our current set a bit too jarring color-wise ... we really only utilize two of those colors at a time, and for a set like our white ones, it you barely even know that navy is one of our colors...
I think many of us could come up with our own minor issues with all of our different uniforms we've had since 1989, but I really do think we had a much better color pattern with all of them:
I don't know, I guess I got used to the white numbers on the navy jerseys, and our current combo just looks like a color explosion to me.
New uniform. Road uniform has blue shoulder stripes with orange in middle. Blue numbers/lettering orange outline. Pants have same stripe as shoulders, orange pants with blue white blue. White set also. No orange jersey. Orange helmet, gloss finish, same stripe as pants. White facemask. Blue I with white outline.

There is no way that is the new uniform.

The new bad trend in uniforms: school name in big letters across the chest. Unless this is just a crappy mockup, I'm not too excited....
Edit: I get that it's not far off from the Kansas uni that I posted at the top of the page. But at least what I can tell from the mockup, Kansas did it a lot better than we did. Those Illinois letters just don't look good on the chest....

Wait a damn second didn’t you just say that Adidas is figuring out how to make clean uniforms with the Kansas post? Does that not have the exact same thing? Lol

Sleeve stripes > shoulder stripes. We have more letters in our name so it looks busier. And while I get having our letters outlined in orange, I think the lack of an outline around the Kansas letters is a cleaner look.
Oh I just meant exact same name above the numbers. Yeah shoulder stripes are a no-go for me but I think some marketing intern on Twitter said they’d look like patriots color rush a few months ago so wouldn’t surprise me
A lot of elements are consistent with what has been hinted at, but why would the football team/social media push the script illinois/illini all off-season only to use this new, strange block font in huge letters on the new jerseys?
