I have also seen a picture of a Matte Black helmet with the current logo (script "ILLINOIS") on the side.

Here is that picture you described. I think it's likely that Illinois will get a new look for next season. Their old helmet and uniforms are dated, and they just hired a new coach. Nothing shouts "new direction" quite like a whole new set of unis.

I think the above helmets are just concepts, but be on the lookout for at least one new helmet design next season.

Thanks, that is indeed the same photograph which was sent to me. We will probably see MANY more such photographs between now and September, as I am convinced that most major colleges are considering the addition of new helmet designs, if they have not already done so.
