Nike catalog and customize maybe?
My high school team currently has this year’s Illini whites as our whites. Just ordered the set from the catalog.
So why not just keep these, keep the Fighting Illini script, lose the Illinois, the Block I, any other reference and not worry about a mascot, a logo, a name change, and start PR'ing the heck out of this as a program changing rebrand? I have always, loved these, they are retro, (so you know they are fashionable or will again be soon), and quite frankly, I think it may be our best chance at starting a rebirth of ILLINI basketball etc?

Well this is news!
That's the 1989 letter font with the 2019 number font. We haven't seen that before. Suggestive that these are our "new" unis for next year surely.
Is is the same in all three colors? Does this mean we're moving away from the Nike rebrand font? Many questions!

Interesting. Definitely not the same font on the number '1' as the Ayo jersey in the post above.

I would love to go to this jersey full time. Add a blue one and the set is complete.

We could of course just be monkeying around with stuff for the recruits, I guess. It's possible this is nothing.

It would be pretty cool if Illinois did this once a year. As much as I hate Northwestern and as much as this is a rip off the retro Memphis Grizzlies jerseys, I think it's pretty cool.

Under Armor copying a rebook design of the Vancouver Grizzlies for the Northwestern Wildcats is the most 2018 thing ever...

I didn't at first notice that the shorts are also a direct rip with the wildcat replacing the grizzly.

I remember those. They look like someone ate a bowl of clipart, puked all over a pair of shorts, and then took a photo of them through an Instagram filter.

I’m up for any gimmick possible to get this team out of its enthusiasm funk. Rock the throwbacks until the season is done. Orange at PSU (or blue!!!!) and white in the BTT.
Very clean. The lack of white accents on the colored unis is one of my favorite things about the football redesign. I like these a lot.

Which one?

Hard pass. Orange and blue, please. White for accents in some situations.

Well obviously we wouldn't copy them. I just meant the idea of seniors designing jerseys for senior night and that Northwesterns looked really cool.
