I like them, as a big fan of those '08 Renaissance throwbacks. Couldn't get much simpler. The collision with Syracuse seems all but inevitable to me given the school colors.
I wouldn't mind a pants stripe, but besides that? A lot to like here. No busy collars, orange numbers on the blue...
I recall when I was at the DI back in '08 and we wore the Renaissance throwbacks I was told that they were merit stars for performance. It seems they were given out quite judiciously.
Of course in the '08 throwback game they had everyone wearing the same amount of stars, in part because Zook...
Yep. I doubt that was a coordinated effort, probably just a fleeting glimpse at the new block I. Since the helmet is blue they probably just weren't meticulous and got rid of the standard blue outline.
You can forgive this during the "transition" period for DIA and the various Illini sports...
The monochrome Block I is among the "Nike-approved" Block I designs, but note that the "curve" doesn't appear - the outline is simply made to be the same color as the "inner-I" so it has right-angle corners.
