Love the blue face masks... I only we had those :bang:Oh Lord

 

[BlazeOrange]

Putting the players number on the helmets in roman numerals is innovative. Not sure how practical its going to be for some of the linemen numbers and others though.

 

[OrangePA]

The Illini have been copying our uniforms for years.

I like this version of the SU/Illinois helmet.

 

[Orangejet]

I like this helmet for the Cuse...

Agreed.

Eliminating the Orange helmets would be like ND eliminating the gold helmets.

Our uniform is one of the sharpest in the USA - especially the away whites.

Don't mess things up - in the way we did during the Robinson years.

No, these were.

 

[OrangePA]

No, these were.

Yes. You're right.

I would prefer the helmets without the "S" and I would like to see the player number on the side of the pants.

No argument from me.

 

[OrangePA]

The all orange unis?

All of the versions that were used.

The white pants and blue jerseys.

The blue jerseys and orange numbers.

The all orange look.

The all white look.

They were all fugly.

[SaltineWar]

No, these were.

These are downright sexy. The difficult/possibly dangerous old turf in this pic was better too.

 

[TheCusian]

No, these were.

2nd Best. I like our current uni's better. Even the block "S."

Don't care for the orange drop shadow on the "5" and the thick bands around the neck date it. I could be sold on a combo of the 2.

Really I'd be fine if they just dropped the block S from the helmet, but I'd be ecstatic if they also got rid of the stupid piping. Otherwise the current unis are decent. A huge improvement over the Grob years.

Have waited for someone to point this out. The drop shadow is so bad - very early-'90s (we stole it from the 49ers in McNabb's sophomore year). It's funny that those remain so popular. Must be associated with winning.

Our current ones are classic; hard to argue for a change.

I agree - drop the block "S" on the helmet.

Watched a replay of the NC State - Miami game last night.

I couldn't help but notice the block "S" on the NC State helmets. I thought of the same block "S" on the Stanford helmets.

No block "S" on our helmets would be truly unique.

I say meet old school and new school half way. Have the block S on one side and nothing on the other, In addition to that I will prefer to go back to the blue cages. Make the jersey more tapered to the body and sleeve area, get rid of the piping on the jersey.
