[QUOTE="Illiini, post: 1324840, member: 625513"] Oh, yessssss. I think the shield is, well, what it is. Something the university paid a lot of money for, and looks like it. It's forced and contrived, and has to be explained. If you were at a locale where a lot of people wearing college logowear are gathered, you'll recognize Alabama's A, Tennessee's T, North Carolina's NC... No one is going to know what the heck that shield is. The big orange I. Yeah, that's Illinois. Further, on the shield, it reduces the size of the I, to achieve what? The colors even work against it. The orange stripes come out looking red, because we're used to seeing red stripes with blue. So who is this red, white and blue logo anyway? :chief: and if not :chief:, then :illinois:. [/QUOTE]
