U of Illinois finally proving a modern-day “leather” helmet CAN look awesome

Will still always love the silliness of our all-brown “leather” helmet 😭😭😭

Looks like a peanut
Those are ugly…. and fuck Illinois lol
Illinois fan… those are fucking ugly
I love our ugly brown throwback helmets personally.
That looks like shit lol
did they though
The only change needed is making the Packer helmets matte brown.
The Illinois helmets would look better in brown. Otherwise, I kind of like them.
I wish I could unsee these
Did you forget to include the awesome looking picture?
I’ll take the Packers rendition all day every day
Just get brown colored guardian caps and put them over the helmets. It’d look better, not good but better
Washington did this best back in the day
Yeah I have some questions. Number one, how dare you?
As an alum, I think it looks a bit ass. Their Galloping Ghost unis were fire though.
Yeah, that’s not looking good.
Nah
That is horrific.
No
Hard pass
The should have just made the helmets a matte matte brown and matched the pants to it. Those uniforms would have looked better, still not sure if it would be great.
I did always like the yellow and blue jersey though
Not great Bob
Picture number 5 goes so hard ngl.
Worst take of the offseason. Ugly as hell.
I get it, but it doesn’t look good. Someone can do better
Terrible
you’re taking a lot of heat but i think they’re cool too, at least for a one-off thing.
I’m glad MY team isn’t wearing them, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t mind that someone is.
This looks awful. I’ll take our version.
These look like fucking dog shit lmfao
Idk if I would say they look “good”, but I will say that this is probably about as good as the concept is ever going to look.
Who doesn’t love classic Illinois behavior? leather stickers appearing to be authentic but turning out just to be a fraudulent thing. Get some actual leather on there or gtfoh
