They have the same problem with the orange pants too. The striping is blue/orange/blue, but the helmet and jersey are blue/white/blue. I don't care if the middle stripe is white or not. I just want it to be consistent on all uniform elements.

I follow Matt Powell (@NPDMattPowell) on Twitter. He's THE expert when it comes to the business side of shoe companies. People are constantly tweeting saying UA is gaining on Nike. He says that is a joke. He said it would take UA 10 years to get to Nike's level if Nike had no growth. He also...

I saw a couple new Nike apparel items with the Shield today if people are still looking. I'm sure there will be more as we get closer to football season.

I guess I was thinking of this orange and blue camo jersey they wore in 2012.

I think these are the same camo jerseys they wore last year. I believe it's the same number font too. It looks like they just added the name to the new font.

You can't compare the selection of Illinois gear to Maryland. Maryland is sponsored by Under Armour, whose founder is also an alumni of Maryland. The relationship is like what Oregon has with Phil Knight. Would you expect Illinois to have as big of a selection of Nike gear as Oregon? Of...

Adidas gave those uniforms to every college they sponsored last year.

The women's BB team are finally wearing their new uniforms. They're on BTN right now.

I don't think they're able to put them there because of the inserts underneath the sleeves.

Those jerseys look awful. The inserts force the lettering to be too small. The inserts also doesn't allow them to place the front number in the normal spot. The number looks very weird placed there. They should've just went with no front number.

No. Every colorway of THAT shoe (Nike Vapor Untouchable), not every Nike football shoe, has silver trim like that. Several teams wore those shoes in bowl games and they all had silver on them.

Yes, they used the wrong version of the logo, which is really funny considering how picky people are on that site's forums (myself include) about mistakes like that. I believe STL FANATIC has already informed them they're using the wrong version of the logo.

All colorways of this shoe has silver trim, so it doesn't give any indication what uniforms we'll be wearing next year.

I went to the Nike Store on Michigan Avenue the weekend before the Illinois rebranding press conference they had there. None of the employees knew that there was a rebranding or even that they were hosting a press conference to announce it in a few days.
