Doug Kramer takes picture of new Orange helmet while on official visit

+

While on his official visit to Champaign, Illinois verbal commit Doug Kramer took the above picture in what looks like the Fighting Illini locker room.

Notice anything strange? Well that's a new Orange helmet.

The 'I' on the side of the helmet is Blue with a White outline (the version we've seen in action is the opposite of that). Also, the White stripe down the middle of the helmet seems slightly thicker.

We've seen unofficial team gear displayed on recruiting visits in the past, so there is a chance that this is just a sort of 'show item'. But it looks pretty damn nice.
