I think it looks good. I like the W better, but this is cool every now and then. And recruits love anything new so it might help on that front if we have a new look every now and again.

Should look pretty sweet with white tops and pants.

The All-White unis are going to be a horrible mess after this week's game - anyway, I don't think Champaign is getting off any easier than we are with this rain, lol!!!! (They still look sharp, though)

Are the logos painted on or are they just stick-on decals?

Decals.

Personally, I liked the block W better, but it's not horrible. I think the hope is that prospective student-athletes like them, so I'm not really the "target market". I'll keep going to games whether they're wearing white with purple Rocky, purple with white block W, gold with weirdly-drawn state of Illinois on them...or whatever.

If they are just decals and can by easily changed from year to year, why not let the entire student body in on the selection process?

Agree my opinion means nothing there not trying to recruit me and I’m not paying for the helmets so my opinion doesn’t mean anything.
