I was wrong, looks like the game jerseys do have column/grange stripes on the sleeves. Makes those questionable replicas a tad more accurate. https://twitter.com/jihadward17/status/491418557360906240
Will somebody please just sell me an orange t-shirt with the shield on it? That's all I want. That seems like the most basic possible item.
Available at eastbay at the moment I believe. http://www.eastbay.com/product/mode...orange/navy/?cm=GLOBAL SEARCH: KEYWORD SEARCH
What's the deal with the graphic there? Is it shiny or something?
(Thanks for the heads-up though)
This would seem to indicate no blue helmets as well... http://instagram.com/p/qz8m3HjJi6/
I don't understand how most schools (even indiana) get ALL their stuff. All their jerseys, all their helmets etc. the very first year that they unveil their re-brands and goofy alternative stuff. Yet it seems like we are only going to be getting some of our stuff rolled out this season. Would much rather have the dark blue jerseys used with the orange and white ones rather than that god-awful looking gray one.
It's because we're rebranding the whole athletic department. That means the school has to get new uniforms for every sport. The school only gets a certain dollar amount of free merchandise from Nike every year. The school can't or doesn't want to pay for the blue uniforms this year, so they're waiting until next year. I'm actually surprised a booster hasn't offered to pay for them like they did the blue pants on our last uniforms.

Has anybody in power actually confirmed we won't have the blue jerseys?

What happens with all the B1G Network money? The athletic department can't spring for a full complement of uniforms?
It's probably being used to balance the budget when you're only drawing 45K fans to football games, paying off 2 former coaches, etc.
But seriously, the uniform cost isn't really that much money in the grand scheme of things.
If we end up w/o the blue ones this season, I would suspect it has a lot more to do with us being way down on nike's list of importance.
The customer is always #1 on Nike's list of importance. But nonetheless, I have found this ongoing trope in this thread to be an amusing Illini Inferiority Complex morsel.
