The helmets above are currently on display at the Illinois campus for football recruits to see when they visit. According to the Big Ten Network’s Brent Yarina, the school is considering going with one of the new designs for 2012, but they could ultimately decide to stick with what they have.
“While our coaches have been displaying those for recruits, those are just options we’ve been exploring for new helmets,” Sports Information Director Derek Neal said. “No decisions have been made yet on helmet, uniform changes, or if there will even be a change.”
Seems like a waste of time to me if they don’t incorporate one of the new uniforms, but what do I know? Which one do you think looks the best? Personally I’m a fan of the middle one. The two on the outside look similar to the old helmets, only with uglier writing.
