Illinois Forest Face (????) Your frightening Illini merch of the day.

It is some what a theme here at HTTO to spotlight the more stupid, pointless and hilarious examples of my great University's on going effort to put their name on everything they think we dumb alumni will buy.

This is the first time I have been genuinely frightened by a product with the name Illinois on it. It is the Illinois Forest Face.

I cannot for the life of me, imagine what the intended use of this product  is, other than perhaps to give children Illini themed nightmares. I know alot of people who will buy just about anything that has been emblazoned with the Orange and Blue, but no one who would want to anthropomorphize a tree and make him an Illini fan. To the inventor of this product, who ever you are, I hope you seek psychiatric help, and soon.

Y'know, I can't find a use for that thing.

But I would totally buy it if I could find a suitable tree to put it on. Just for posterity. And to scare the shit out of the neighbors.
