As has already been said, no way we're dropping the font anytime soon. Everyone needs to be mentally prepared for it to be on our next jersey or you're just going to be disappointed.

The I's look like 1's to me too. And I don't see a base on the 1's.

Looks at keyboard... looks at jersey... "Dude those are 1's". Seriously, this message forum might be the only place I've seen the serif on the bottom of a number one.

Look at the 1.... see the base on it? That is a one. What is on our uni's is NOT a 1. Just because you see it as that, doesn't make it so.


What do the rest of the letters look like, you know, the letters that have the same distinctive mark as the I....?



I realize the font isn't appealing to everyone. But calling one single letter out to complain about when all the other letters are treated the same way does not help further your argument too much...

It isn't just what I see. I am looking at the official Nike rebrand typefaces and graphics. What is on the jersey as "I's" matches the number typography provided by Nike.

It's a stylized font. An acquired taste at best. But the constant blather as if the intent was to show the I's as 1's is exhausting.

Equally exhausting is the apparent expectation that they will just randomly chuck the font overboard for these new basketball jerseys.

I dunno, I just have a burr in my saddle I guess. Carry on.

Yep, you have a burr in your saddle. It looks like a "1" no matter how vigorously you say it doesn't.

HAve any other Nike schools received their update yet? I thought from memory we found out about the last rebrand around this time? Or was it in the fall?

The IlliniCreative account is just some guy making mockups though right....nothing officially tied to the university. So nobody has actually seen the new official uniforms yet, correct?

I think something just like that though with non-outlined lettering and simple clean lines would look great...even with the new fonts. Crossing fingers!

Those look good. Therefore Nike would never allow us to have them. All we get are zig zags, silver shoulders, black side paneling on navy uniforms, and split two tone lettering.
