The new one is much better. How many times did we complain that our jerseys looked blue and red on TV? The new one looks more definitively orange.

New shade is incredible, and now that it's done I can say I never liked the reddish orange(which is a lie because I'll just wear whatever color they have).

"Hail to the Orange" sounds like some sort of homage to Syracuse. #MarketingFailure

It looks different, but I can't tell if that's because of sun bleaching and normal wear. I'd need to see a picture of when we first put in the ILLINOIS with 1's for I's to compare.

I kinda like this end zone, 1990:

I love the new orange, and Hail to the Orange is not bad at all. That red/orange we were using was not good at all.

The new orange looks more similar to my t-shirts from the late 90s and early 2000s. Curious if we moved to the darker orange sometime in the early 2000s?

Huge improvement. The old shade was far too red.

Just curious--what do you do during halftime at Memorial Stadium?

I'm guessing passed-out midway through the second quarter.

Love the color, hate the font. Not that I'm particularly fond of the one we got out of the big Nike rebrand, but "credits from a W**dy *ll*n film" doesn't excatly convey athletic prowess.

Everything should be written in the font of one of our two basketball throwbacks if you ask me! Both so cool, and recruits/non-fans clearly love the look.

I probably don't hate it as many as most, but am not a fan of our mind numbing variety of fonts. We have too many fonts. We need fewer, not more fonts. If we're introducing this font, we should simultaneously retire the 1LL1NO1S font.

Font looks like something from circa-1975 Sesame Street.

Alright, so, were they planning on dropping all of this today, or did Robert / the reply let the cat get out of the bag?

Also why are we announcing this now if we are stuck with the old uniforms in the old colors for another year? This seems a bit sloppy for my liking...
