Illinois Football Uniforms

I like your design for the most part. IMO, the use of feathers as pride stickers would never fly (see what I did there?) due to the obvious ties with Native American imagery that the university is moving away from.

I agree about the feathers. Wishful thinking I guess.

I like the stripe with the I like that.

I'm not a big fan of having the I on our helmets be white in color. Would much prefer a stripe down the center of the helmet and a blue or orange I depending on the overall color of the helmet (i.e. orange I with blue helmets, blue I with orange helmets)

On his 10-5-2017 Monday Morning Podcast (~12 minutes in), comedian Bill Burr commented on the state of uniforms in college football, and gave Illinois a humorous mention. I've removed the expletive language from the transcript.

"I gotta be honest with you. The first time I saw those Oregon Ducks, those crazy uniforms, I was like "What is that?" And then after awhile, I kinda liked them. I was like, "Ah, you know, that's kinda cool, whatever." But now it's just become a fashion show, and there's a bunch of bad football programs out there...you know who I'm talking about University of Illinois. Where do you get off with that disco ball on your head like you've ever even sniffed a Big Ten championship since we were even in Vietnam. Let's look that up right now. Let's look that up right now. When was the last time that basketball school won a Big Ten championship?"

He then realized he confused Illinois with Indiana. :doh:

Haha oops

I really don't like the white helmet without the stripes

I really liked the white helmet they used once with the silver I. I think they used it at Nebraska.
