Illinois Football Uniforms
Still blows my mind that all the stickers just go on freehand. Saw a video of the Packers building their rivalry helmet and all those stickers were freehand too so the pros do it the same way. If I did it, I just imagine all the wrinkles there would be, especially in the long stripe down the middle.

We have backslid into new-look-every-week 2014 mode in a disappointing way the last couple years.
Yeah, it's happening in the NFL too. Nike has really lost the plot.
You say this, but:
1. We have an equipment management team that gets paid to do this
2. We have a fanbase that a good portion thereof likes the variety.
We have several marks that fans gravitate to, none of which have a majority of support to move towards a primary logo. In the absence of that (or maybe even in spite of it depending on what influence the University has) we roll with a block I primary and go with other things as they can to keep engagement up and fans interested. It’s fun!
Btw, count me in on camp “navy blue helmet with arched Illini”
