Has that ever been worn? The Butkus throwbacks were a Juice-era one off right?

Yeah those are the only ones they wore. I wouldn't have minded the home jerseys to be in the rotation but the helmets they wore that game are in the top group with the arch Illini helmets.

If the proposal is to go all-in on the script as a primary logo/wordmark across all sports, I accept.

I'm just saying, our uniforms that we debuted in 2023 are really good, in full. It's about the sum more than the parts.

You almost have me. Those shoulder stripes, though...

This is exactly why I love uniform discourse. There’s something so undefinable about good aesthetic. I love the shoulder stripes but some people hate em. I think we have a set that can age really well right now save for the font lol

It is also a very generational debate. There are a lot of retro logos that are praised that many old heads like us would say “why?”

Is our numeral font the same as the 1LL1NO1S? If so that's just double the reason to ditch it. Our current unis with a traditional number font would be very good to great. But those 9s and 2s make me gag

I’ve looked all over but nothing spilling it yet. I’m confident well used the arched Illini helmets. We wore all white against Oregon and against Washington. Both were whoopins, so I’m gonna guess we don’t go that route. Brett has never once opted for blue pants on the road. I would be ecstatic if we did, but I don’t think so. I think it’ll be orange-white-orange with some kind of special rose decal on the helmet.

Given the social media team usually has something on the week’s uniform by now, I think tonight’s going to be something fairly big.

But that’s a gut feeling on my part.
