I hope not, our current ones are awesome.

I don't think that the I was supposed to look like a 1, though. Every other vertical letter like the L and N has that little (for lack of a better word) serif on the top, so I am not convinced the I was supposed to look like a 1. I really do think those features were meant to evoke motion.
I agree - although I wouldn't mind a few tweaks (i.e. the gray ones can go away)

I agree. I feel like I am in such a minority here but I really don't like the all grey uniforms for football (or basketball, for that matter).

I'm pretty sure there are. They were being mocked up last summer and I believe finalized, with probably a planned year to get the team stocked. I don't think it would be a radical change, but my one take away was it looked like less white trim on the orange and blues. So a bit more like this:

I would not.
Just think it would be cool, Dukes black and blue jerseys are awesome. Black and orange would be sweet.

Once you start getting outside the school colors is when you start on a bad slippery slope imo. The greys are bad enough but at least they have a historical reference.
Well through that logic, black works perfectly. It references the last decade of revenue sports @ Illinois: dark and hopeless
I don't get that at all ... Blue & orange looks fantastic by itself ... black or gray uni's for teams that do not have black or gray as their school colors have always looked stupid to me.

Syracuse's uniforms look horrible. I hope anything we come up with looks nothing like theirs.
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks the metallic oranges are the worst part of any current uniform we have... I dont remember UI changing its color scheme to burnt orange and blue.
I think a mirror orange (something like Oregon has used in the past) would be a good addition. Heck, lighten the metallic up and I'd be fine with. I just dont like having two distinctly different orange shades in uniforms.

Agree - those are terrible. Not sure if it's the lack of trim, lack of contrast, or what. Can't put my finger on it.
You are definitely not the only one who does not like the current metallic orange helmets.
IMO what would look best is if we could match up the orange (with the uniform's orange) in a glossy rather than metallic helmet and it would look very sharp ... and it would not look like Syracuse's or Oregon State's drab metallic orange helmets.
