Petition for permanent IU script football helmets

They are awesome but I like the variety, so no.
Script helmets were nice, but I like some of the others better.....least favorite is the state flag design.
I liked them, but where I really want to see the script Indiana is in the end zone.
I like the state flag design. Oh well! Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, huh?
Block.
I.
(They don't even teach cursive writing ins chool anymore.)

That's what I've figured for a few years now.
"I" is as close as he can come to spelling it.
Easily my favorite so far. I would still throw in the chrome domes once or twice a year.
I might be old school but i don't like having a different helmet every week and would like us to pick one and wear that one every game.
We can wear purple helmets for all I care, as long as Howard keeps demolishing linebackers.
I do like most of our helmets though.
Everyone like different ones so I say put it in the rotation and keep running through them. I actually like all of them.
To me, the interlocking IU says IU more than any other logo. I like the chrome, too, and I'll have to agree the cursive writing looked good. It seems we have one for every week now, but so do the other teams.

Would love to see that script in the end zones.
For me it's a pretty simple matter of branding if the helmet makes it recognizable as IU. Interlocking IU? Yes. Stripes? Yes. Script? Yes. State emblem? Yes as it's always paired with interlocking IU. Numbers? No (for Alabama, it would). The tricky one is the block I. Yes on one hand as there is some mixed tradition but pretty indistinguishable design wise from Illinois now.
Didn't you, or perhaps Aruss/Not Fade Away photoshop an image of the script Indiana in the endzone a few years back?
I know there was a picture of it floating around somewhere.
I like the variety. Honestly, there isn't one I dislike. I would like us to get some cool uni's with a modern look.
Nope. Block I. Crimson helmet, two white stripes.
Everything else is weak and just marketing noise.
And while we're at it let's go back to the previous interlocking "IU" - the slightly offset, shaded logo - that is/was infinitely better that the present, thinner, weaker-looking university logo.
I've always thought the storm trooper look is kind of neat. I do think the all white is pretty sharp.Our best look, and helmet...
That logo looks so dated now. Very 90s. Current interlock is perfect.
That was me. I'll have to find it and post it, as well as send it to the athletic department, since the turf is due to be replaced next year.
Those unis were horrific. I believe Camp hated them and promised we would never wear them again.Anyone remember those black alternates Cam brought out back in the day? How about something similar:
I think the block I is OK because the Rose Bowl team wore it and it has a certain old school appeal, but everyone knows IU as just that, IU. So I think the U is an important part of the image.
This?
I just think it looks like something straight out of 1994, and that's where it should stay.

No, but that's better than the crap logo presently the standard and which was developed during the prior AD's reign. The superior logo had the block "I" in front of the "U". And I don't give a FF if it is from an earlier era. IMO, it's a far stronger look. It's like anything else, where there have been numerous uniform/logo changes. Sometimes they are subtle, but different people are going to prefer different, and prior, looks/versions.
