I assume Butkus's number (50) is retired, but I don't know.
It is. The only 2 are 50 & 77

I had the pleasure of being at the game when Dick's jersey was retired and sat in the Chancellors box as the guest of a rich donor and Dick was in the suite then too. it was in the mid 80's.
Just saw a t-shirt online that Nike did to honor Grange. I like it a lot better than the jersey they are selling...

That looks great! Agree that it looks better than the jersey that was for sale.
I'm sorry. I do not like these orange helmets. That version of orange a nice idea but the orange on the helmets clearly doesn't match the orange in the uniforms. I think it stands out and clashes, which is frustrating especially after our rebrand was supposed to install consistency in colors and other things. I doubt they will change the color of the orange helmets to be like our old orange ones any time soon, I just hope we use the white and blue ones more.
Yep. On TV the helmets practically look red. Couldn't even tell which team was which when the game started tonight. Same thing vs. Nebraska. The helmets are cool but just do not match.
Between the uniforms, helmets, mid-field "I", and end zones, there are now 4 different shades of orange on the field at Memorial Stadium. Clemson, Tennessee, Texas, et al have figured it out. Why not Illinois? :tsk:

You must need a new tv. I thought the helmets looked great and clearly orange.
