I love it, too, and agree that the rebrand was a faceplant. But there's that early-Elway, old-school Broncos look (my college years and beyond) and then there's the Floyd Little, early-'70s, old-school look:Old school Broncos is a fantastic look - I know they won two SBs shortly after rebranding, but from a purely aesthetic standpoint, one of the more unfortunate uniform overhauls in all of pro sports.
Will king size shoulder pads be optional?
I have never been a fan of the blue block I (or white for that matter). our logo is an orange block I not blue or white. but dont know how they could avoid this on orange helmet unless it's script or other
Ditch that teeny-tiny script Illinois and I'm buying.
Forbidden, actually. Technology advances.
I disagree for the home uniforms, as I actually think this basic look (which it sounds like we are going to be very similar to) looks VERY sharp and classic:
Alright, I am putting my official bet in before we get the reveal.
I think the above picture is spot-on, actually, and I am now fairly certain that my outline below is what we get. So, I call upon the graphic design gods to give us glorious mockups of the following with that jersey design! Personally, I would consider it a win for sure.
I'd take a look like this with a nice little logo on the sleeve. How about a Doughboy?
Alright, I am putting my official bet in before we get the reveal.
Home: O/B/O ... Same exact jersey as above, no graphic design gods required!
Away #1: O/W/O ... Same helmet as the Home jersey. Numbers are blue with an orange outline. Shoulder stripes B/O/B.
Away #2: O/W/W ... Same exact uniform as Away #1 except for the pants. White pants with a B/O/B stripe pattern (like the photo I posted above).
Alternate: O/O/W ... I actually would not be surprised if we do not have an orange jersey, but if we do this is my guess. Same helmet as every other uniform. Numbers are white with a blue outline. Shoulder sleeves are B/W/B. Pants are the same as Away #2 - white with a B/O/B stripe pattern.
I think we have that same orange helmet no matter what. I don't think we ever go all orange ... at least I sincerely hope we do not! I suppose we could sometimes do a O/B/B uniform for a big night game in Champaign or something, but I doubt it ... I would prefer O/B/W at home with these uniforms if we ever deviate.
These jerseys are reminiscent of a local softball team jersey purchased by a team with no sponsor. IMHO the worst looking jersey in my time of following Illini football (1982). The helmets are fine, although I prefer the ones mocked up by Nikethreadguysm, as well as the jerseys he mocked up. These? Simply horrible.
The hardest of hard passes to this idea.
LOL at all the work going into design when they could just bring these back.
Our record wearing alternate pants colors for home football games is even worse than the blue basketball uniforms, we're 0-for-a million.
I’d love those jerseys with two fairly important updates:
A few big things to keep in mind here:
That would be the home run hit for the new uniforms IMO.
Just to play devil's advocate here. The Block I can also be easily made in Word. It's just a capital I with a serifed font.
