It's nice to see them picking the Huskies to win the MAC. I wish "NIU" would finally catch on, I really hate seeing "N Illinois".

The "NIU" has been on the helmet for over a decade, I'm not sure if it's doing anything to help. Not that I think it should be removed from the helmet.

NIU was on the back of the Dark Dog helmet. I doubt that will change.

Let's try to keep this thread on topic and not turn it into a helmet debate. We already have a thread for that.

To be fair though, most people in the country know NIU by "Northern Illinois". "Oh yeah, that one mid-major team who's always pretty good...".

Having the headline instead have "NIU" -- people wouldn't recognize that abbreviation by scanning headlines, and would assume it's some D1AA or D2 team or something.

I get that, but the university doesn't call itself N Illinois. Either type out Nothern Illinois or use NIU. Don't make up your own version. No one uses W Michigan, they use WMU.
