The Illinois Nike Rebrand

I didn't say mine was better - it's just that I'm not really on board with them trying to say those are "Fs" when it would be way easier to not even mention it.



I like their design better than mine fwiw.



Also asked this in previous post but got no replies -



Will Groce get a NIKE rebrand orange blazer?

Which logo will be used for television?

Will Lucas Johnson update the paint job on his car?


My bad. I thought with you posting your own, you were saying you prefer this.

And let there be no doubt about it, this is best mark we could ever have.

I'll throw my opinion into the mix because, why not? We can all be an amateur designer for a day. I've read most of the reactions and I pretty much agree with the consensus.

-Football uniforms are great. A good update, but not too wild or trendy. Like the addition of the white set.

-The basketball uni's are lacking, with culprit #1 being those hideous zig-zags down the side. You couldn't really see it in the "leaked" images, but when the players came on stage last night I gasped. I'm pretty sure they were trying to use some pseudo-chief/feather imagery, but it just doesn't work.

-The basketball shorts are WAY too long and baggy. Tracy and Ray look like they're wearing bloomers. Current trends are away from the baggy to a sleeker look, although not back to the Bird-Magic nut-hugger days.

-I don't care for the new, specially created font. It reeks of what they did for Mizzou a few years ago.

-I like the shield and think it's a nice secondary mark. Certainly better than the block I in a circle thing that has kind of been our de facto second mark, although I'm not as crazily excited about it as the #TeamShield crowd.

-I also thought the presentation by the Nike guy was hilariously bad. He sounded like a high schooler trying to sound smart in a class presentation. All buzzwords and no substance, and a pretty terrible delivery to top it off.

-One element where I think I differ from the consensus is the two-tone font. I like the idea, although I liked it better on the older jerseys with the taller, leaner font.

The basketball shorts are waay to baggy and teams are trending to the sleaker shorts. I hope they modify that before the season starts.

although looking at it now I realize every time I open the app drawer I'll be tapping his crotch....might have to change this.

Instead of the lightning bolt down the side of the basketball uniforms, I think it would have been better to do the helmet stripe down the side. That would look great IMO. It would also make the two sports look more cohesive.

Robert said the zig zags (chief reference) look way better in person.

And I think they're a bit more subtle than some of the pictures where people have focused in on the sides of the jersey.

Can't quite put my finger on why, but those look like high school uniforms to me.

The font is exactly the same as the '89 Flying Illini jerseys. I have a replica Deron Williams jersey in that '89 throwback style, so that's probably why I like it.

Hostile and abusive, abusive and hostile. Warning Warning.

Ironically, your avatar was one of only a handful of images we had used that were offensive, and thus were cited as evidence against us by the white liberals who succeeded in killing off Chief Illiniwek.

I don't think those shorts were the ones we'll be wearing as far as the size goes. I'm not sure if Ray, Tracy and Nnanna were fitted specifically for those shorts, but I doubt it, because they looked huge on Tracy specifically. I bet the actual unis during the season will fit better.

I actually like the Before much better. That was more unique and identifiable, kinda like the Arizona 'A'.
