My bet is O/B/O with the block I as we've always opened with that under Bret, but I think there's a 10% chance we see ILLINOIS instead.

It's finally official!
I think we all knew this was coming, confirmed by our insider's hint a few weeks ago. While things have not always been perfect with Nike, I am glad we are sticking with them.
Also, a great sign the script Illinois was the primary wordmark featured in the video!

Great news, they make the best uniforms and seems like 1LL1NO1S is dead.

- it's all ball bearings, nowadays
with our strong ascension (from the abyss), hopefully Nike will elevate us in their food chain
agree - it should be the default

I ain't celebrating until we get Vomeros!
Spent a while creating what I’d consider my ideal uniform closet for Illinois. Hope you like them!
Everyone is doing the script. Give me the Arch Illini as the default all the way. Harkens to a Chief's headdress. That's the only semblance of The Chief we have left other than what fans pull out on Game Days....shirts, flags, hats, etc.!
I like the Arch Illini decal. I’ve been a fan since the Blackman days, but never saw how that decal corresponds to a Chief headdress. Never made that connection.
Just personal preference, but I actually like what we already have more than these. The shoulder stripe on these ones is too subtle, and I like that ours features the combo of our colors so prominently.
Totally fair! We legitimately have nice uniforms right now. I think the font for the numbers look bad, but from far away it’s really not noticeable.
I just wanted to nail the “sleeve stripe” from the 90s with these and I felt like I had to keep them small to keep #’s on the sleeves rather than shoulders.

That one of Reseitch in O/B/O is great, and I like the 2001's, but we wont get that cause it's too close to UVA. Also, then in the arched helmet we get 3 different stripes with the helmet, jersey, and pants. Too inconsistent. Throw me in the never white helmet camp, just don't like us in them and reminds me of those awful Lovie games. Looks like Auburn, too.
Our shoulder stripe has grown on me, but if we were to go to a sleeve stripe I'd like something unique, subtle, and a design that can go with our pant stripe, and both our standard block I/ILLINOIS/script, and arched Illini stripe.
