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.

This could very well be it and imo it would be a downgrade. That massive ILLINOIS on the chest is ridiculous.

If that's the final helmet I have no complaints.... except that the face mask/straps should be blue.

The top helmet is a different helmet, from the finish to the white I to the blue.

I think what I'm most excited for is how Nike tries to tie this new uniform to something from Illini history lol. I can't even think of any time when the stripes would have been at the shoulders. I guess the style is similar to the 80s jerseys but it's going to take some creativity to stretch it to there.

Would not hate it.

Neither would I. I feel decently strongly that stripes on the sleeve would look better than stripes on the shoulder, but I would consider the above a great, classic uniform that keeps much of the simplicity of the current set while updating it to just look more "complete." Also, while I am very sympathetic to Team Script, I really think the helmet posted above on Bielema's social media is all we had to do ... our helmet is great, the stripes just currently look "inside out." The script on the above uniform actually seems like the perfect dose of "pizazz" to compliment the otherwise very simple and traditional look.

I'm curious what we will do for the road uniforms. I assume the same pants as above, but will we have blue numbers with an orange outline? Orange numbers with a blue outline? Bielema also seems to have somewhat of a preference for white pants (especially on the road), though, and it would be interesting if we had a pair of white pants with a B/O/B stripe ... wouldn't look awful at all if we used it sparingly!

Again, IMO, this uniform redesign was more about not messing things up than reinventing the wheel ... our current uniforms aren't BAD, we just mixed minimalist modern with traditional a bit too much, and the above mock-up would largely correct that. I'd be a pretty big fan, even if the stripes would look a bit better on the sleeve.

Eh, let me get my kids to bed and I can mock it up. I’ll try to do a better job than the last one lol I didn’t blend hardly anything together. Lots of crappy lines.

If we go with this I'd take it, small script instead of the block I on the chest is fine too. I could do a road mock later, and team #bluepants on the road.
