Got something to share about the jerseys?
Got something to share about the jerseys?
Exactly, I’m upsetYou’re not allowed to do that and then not say anything...
2. Brand consistency. The athletic apartment appears to be attempting to keep a the Illinois brand consistent and recognizable across all sports. These uniforms won't look too foreign to your eyes.
Thanks for the update.
Re; #1 The wording has me concerned, "two tone coloring within the same letter". I hope you aren't implying that they will alternate colors I L L I N I or will do a FIGHTING ILLINI I'm probably just overthinking it.....

Thanks for the snippets. Any idea on when the public will get their eyes on them?Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the jerseys.
Sorry I had to get busy for a day. So.....
Have some points I want to share about the new unis. I don't think I want to give too much away to ruin the school's launch, but, I'll share some intell.
1. Solid, cleaner look. While the zig zags had some hidden meaning that I, for one, appreciated, it was not a very sleek look. Done are the zig zags, no surprise, and in are a much cleaner look. Also no two tone coloring within the same letter finally. Also I believe it’s already been confirmed to be a stripe down the side and the Nike slimmer cut.

3. I don't think there have been any concepts shared on this board or anywhere else that represent what we are going to have.
4. There is one element, on one part, of one of our uniform sets that is the one thing I do not like. It seems a bit unnecessary, and like it belongs more to a certain school out west. I think when you see it, you are going to ask, "Really? Did we need that?" But honestly by the time we are playing B1G basketball we will all be pretty used to it.
5. New throwback. No idea if this means the end of the '89 throwbacks (I hope not). My pure speculation is that they may still use them due to their obvious popularity. But we are going to see another throwback to a fairly iconic / recognizable Illini era. They seem to be basically entirely accurate to the era. So if you look back at Illini uniforms through the years, you'll see what our guys will be wearing as a throwback.

Thanks! Words and numbers being different colors may work.

The way things have been going lately, it will probably be on a news day where they need to create some positive spin.
It’s gonna have to be soon right? We’re starting officials and recruits will be taking pics in jerseys and putting on social media. We release them with some big PR or a recruit does in Twitter with minimal fanfare.

Sorry if my description wasn't clear. I am pretty certain word mark and the numbers will all be the same one color on each different set.
How about we wait until EJ official and let him unveil them with our current team members as well?

That's what I was thinking. as well.Sounds like they will be similar to the football jerseys, which is a good thing IMO.
I was thinking more like having the shield on the chest instead of wording. Just a guess tho. A black jersey would be horrendous in every way possible.That's what I was thinking. as well.
And team out west......Has to be an Oregon reference......Neon or Black?
Don't think that's it. OP says it's one element on one part of the jersey. I'm guessing it's a distinctive design somewhere on the jersey.That's what I was thinking. as well.
