On Friday Illinois Football revealed new uniforms for the 2018 season. These are the first new uniforms for the team since the 2014 rebrand.
The new uniforms from Nike are very minimalistic, and feature no uniform stripes at all, or stokes around the numbers. Illinois has new Orange, Blue and White digs, but will continue to have its Gray Ghost alternates with this new set.
As with any new uniforms the fans are divided, and so is the staff of TCR.
Brandon Birkhead: Ok, let’s start with the new orange helmet.
The old orange helmet was bad, because it didn’t come close to matching the other orange on the jerseys and pants.
