[QUOTE="socalini, post: 1954633, member: 3523"] Just chiming in with my .02: Like it or not, the Chief is never coming back. "Fighting Illini" is never going away. I feel no connection to the Kingfisher whatsoever. Grasping at straws for something, debatably, orange and blue. Some form of Galloping Ghost is, in my opinion, the best option, assuming his family is cool with it. Have a student in a sepia-toned uniform and makeup with some orange highlights or stripes on it. Have him on the sideline by the team pumping up the crowd at the appropriate times. Maybe run through the band for a touchdown at halftime. I think it could look pretty cool. [/QUOTE]
