I think this is an especially groundless concern in our current era, when teams will show up in like, full camo uniforms on a whim.
That's usually us.
These are way too Syracuse-y for me. Especially the white numbers on the blue uniforms.
Seems like the opposite of Bret’s idea of having an identity. I’ll watch no matter what they wear, but this would possibly come after the grey ghost uni’s I despised.
Has the Illinois Pork Producers been covertly pushing Script Illinois propaganda this whole time for this very reason? Have they even infiltrated this board??
Hard to tell what that even means. We've taken a big step away from monochrome looks since Bielema started (and I suppose don't *technically* do it at all since we've stopped rotating helmets). In 2022 we matched jerseys and pants just three times, all on the road: at Wisconsin, at Nebraska, at Michigan.
Would have to see them, but need to have a helmet stripe.
Just so I get it. Do you think random basketball fans flip through the channels and when they get to our games wearing the white throwback jerseys they're too flummoxed to understand it's us? Do you think that's what happens when Michigan State, Syracuse, Texas, Purdue, Ohio State, et al. wear their throwbacks? (Seriously, the number of schools that utilize script font off and on is wild, look it up.) Is this a football thing because football fans are too thick-headed? Like, I understand most people aren't writing cursive in their daily lives anymore, but I don't think it's that hard to understand and, if anything, I think the fact that numerous basketball teams utilize script font shows that.
agree 100%.
I am not against this idea, curious what it may look like.
I am an easy grader and am not a uniform nerd, but these are absolutely horrible.
) and the shoulder stripes.
I could get behind a design like that, traditional yet slick.
Almost looks like exactly what we would do (except replace the Reeses brown with our blue).
The endless dance continues.
