Not sure how it's a stretch when that's the base of the design, not to mention that my original post said "wonder where this idea came from". In terms of the actual helmets, no, they aren't the same, but I never said they were. I wouldn't expect us to have chrome wings on our helmets nor would I...

:confused:Chrome logo on an accent color? Not to mention that both Illinois and Oregon are Nike schools, so it wouldn't be too surprising if there were some shared ideas between design teams.

hmmmm I wonder where this idea came from...

I think B/B/W would also work. Much like the Bears throwback uni's

I also really dislike Penn State's uniforms, but I think the orange accents help make it look better.

Amazing what happens when you incorporate blue with the white and orange. Adds some nice balance and makes the orange numbers pop a lot more.

Don't forget all the tackles Darwyn Kelly keeps making out of the Star position :D

I'd like to see them have the signature on one side and then #77 on the other side of the helmet. Sort of like how Alabama has their numbers on the helmets.

Agreed, the blue and grey just wash each other out. Even if just the collar, stripes on the sleeves, and trim around the numbers were orange it would make a huge difference.

No silver Unis or fighting illini?
