Hey Dan, there are still old Block I's on the "Forums" page. What gives?

Needs some :shield:

I'm guessing they won't be available until August or September. I'm curious to see if the replica jerseys will have the "ghost columns".

I'm still waiting for these to go on sale:

Yeah football jerseys and fall/winter items normally don't come into the store until July or so and they're usually out as soon as they can be processed. I'll keep you guys updated.

Victory Shield

Have tried but simply can't warm up to the shield. Too artsy. Eliminate the "wings" at the top and make the bottom solid orange (perhaps with black vertical lines to denote columns) and I'm in.

I'm pretty feel the same as u about the 'shield'. When I first saw it, I was indifferent about it (didn't like it but didn't necessarily dislike it either).

But as time passes, and as I see people in the 'shield' shirts, etc., the more and more it looks corny to me.

I will just continue wearing my CHIEF logo gear instead. Looks much, much better.

I'm totally with you, Orange :chief:

Was driving behind a car in Champaign yesterday that had new Block :illinois: and shield decals on the back, and it looked pretty cool. The shield definitely looks better on some places than others.

I saw :shield: shirts for sale at JC Penney's in Springfield yesterday.

Ironically, I got a mailing from the alumni association over the weekend. The decals they sent is the old Block I.

Shield shirts at Scheel's in Springfield. (I think I just made a tongue twister).

The shirts had the jersey stripes behind the shield. Sorry no pic!:(

I almost bought the orange shield shirt, but decided not to because I want the Dri-Fit shield shirt.

Does anyone know if they will release flags/banners with the shield or revamped block I? and if so when/where? :shield::illinois:

I would say that kind if stuff will come out closer to the start of football season, probably August or September.

If they would get rid of the wings I would love the shield, but it looks real bush league with the wings.

Whoa, wait, what?? On an unrelated note, not sure where this graphic that Mike Ward tweeted came from, but it's pretty sweet:

Eh... overworked to say the least. Given that we just rebranded, why are they making up entirely new logos?

Maybe because people like you keep dogging it? There's not even proof they're reworking a logo. This looks stitched, so if anything this could be a patch on a throwback or something. Relax GHD, although we all know that's not possible with you

Yea there's no way this is any sort of a new logo. The football staff creates these sorts things all the time...they're always posting them on twitter
