Alternates for Illinois

[Uenth]

Other than the helmet- I'd take these as the regular uni's

Yup, it's the helmet that kills me. Love that they have "Not the victory, et all" on the backs of the jerseys. That's a nice touch. But that helmet, ye gods!

 

[HuskerMo]

Bad helmet - needs the "N" on there !!! The uni's are pretty good though.

 

[HuskerVotary]

I like 'em!

 

[Hunchback Johnny]

I am a fan of the alteration. The helmet is so old school that it is hip and cool.

 

[Huusker]

I've seen worse. Helmets are awful.

Does anyone know if there is an out clause for this nonsense? Alabama doesn't do this every year. They just say "no."

Can't understand why we have to shed one of the most iconic uniforms in sports for some designer's idea of fashion.

Because it matters to those that matter most: The Players.

And uniforms change every few years anyway. How is what we are wearing today any more traditional or iconic than what they wore in 97, flash dance half shirts and all?

Well Johnny, what in the world would YOU know about hip and cool?!

 

[Cdog923]

Beyond fugly. Worse than the 2012 and 2014 alts.

 

[KansasRed]

I like the "Not the victory ... " but where's the big "N"?

Maybe no one will recognize us and if we lose we'll just be 0-1.

Now that's funny!

Ha. The fact that I used the term "hip and cool" confirms I have no idea. Let's see... how about "dope" and....I don't know. Someone under 50 help me out here.

Blah, blah, blah, something, something, something, Fortnite, blah, blah blah, something, something, something.

You could preface your remark with "back in the olden days" or "days of yore" and then state your position. That will show that you, as well as me, are geezers.

You could say "Those cats are wearing some groovy uniforms".....I'm also a a member of the "half a hundred" or older group.......LOL

I think that is more aptly called semi-centurian culture ... or something, something, something. I'm not even sure that centurian is a real word. LOL

Profound statement

I know the uniforms change a bit each year. That's fine. I'm talking about the pajamas they made the players wear vs. Wisconsin the one year we actually beat the Badgers.

As for the players... Alabama's players don't seem to mind

I think Faux Pelini tweeted during the Michigan game that the white stripes were missing from our road pants and then said something like "does this game even count?" It was the only laugh I had that day.

 

[DrThunder]

Legitimately like everything but the helmet...it literally looks like someone pulled a jock strap over the guys head...I expect there to be a brown skid mark on top.

So the inspiration for the uni's was the 1923 game against the Sooners- first at Nebraska Field/Memorial Stadium. The front page from the OWH the following day is a fun read.
