Do we still have the matte blue helmets?
I also think the all whites look slick, but would like to see some variety. I also hope to see the grays at least once this year.

I would aver that Crouch, as a junior upper classmen, is feeling his oats right about now, and he is going with it and damn the torpedoes!!

We're loyal to you Illinois.
We're ORANGE and BLUE Illinois.

Wear Orange & Blue Uniforms, Not White
Are we trying to emulate Penn State with the all white uniforms? Hmmmmm.
We're Orange and Blue. Someone should give the football team a copy of the lyrics to "Illinois Loyalty."

No. We're keeping up with current trends much unlike PSU.
I see an orange I on the helmet and orange numbers on the jersey. I love the all white uni's. Get over it!

All white = no identity = generic= ignoring what makes ORANGE and BLUE stand out.

I was going to say the same thing, but add that they have a blue outline, and orange and blue names on the back and orange and blue trim.
Aren't the players picking the combinations? Since they are the ones wearing the uniforms, what's wrong with letting them pick the combinations? Support the team instead of nitpicking them.

As far as I'm concerned, they can come out in Hello Kitty outfits as long as they play football instead of whatever they did on the field last week against Purdue.
Yup. It's going to be ugly regardless. I fully anticipate screaming at my TV as we allow Rutgers to look like a legitimate Big Ten team. Hopefully that goes both ways. Wouldn't be surprised if this ended similar to the Purdue game with us losing by a score or FG as time expires. Lovie needs talent to win games.

And every detail on the uniforms is orange and blue. The only difference from previous uniform combos is the white helmet (I wish they'd kept the blue facemask, though).
And my daughter has GameDay at her school. <sigh>
