Does anyone know where I can purchase a Nunn jersey? Or teach me how to Google? I can't find anything anywhere.

Thanks!

I don't believe it's possible, I tried a few weeks ago. Just gonna have to wait until the #25 goes on sale at Gameday (which will hopefully be next season).

I agree and continue to believe that they really hit the nail on the head with the shield. I wouldn't want it as our primary logo (like on TV broadcasts, helmets, etc.) but used as an accent it is wonderful.

Regarding nike's use of it, my guess is they wanted to see how it sold this fall before going all-in on it. The winter line of basketball merchandise would have been placed and designed sometime this summer so too soon for this fall sales input. My guess is that if we see more shield items it will be next fall or perhaps in the spring line which is due out this month I believe.

Should we still be expecting another alternate basketball uniform sometime soon?

The women's BB team are finally wearing their new uniforms. They're on BTN right now.

Interesting batting gloves. Kinda surprised they didn't do something like the Block Is on the palms of the football gloves.

I sure hope so. I always thought that #25 for basketball and #5 for football should be sold every year given their history and significance.

Yeah, numbers really need to be on the other side. Small thing but would make them look so much better.

agreed. they could also use the weird arm pit panels in the same color. I know that that is a nike thing, but its kinda dumb.

Was really hoping for a tri-color hat, one with a white front panel.

have to admit the baseball uniforms are growing on me after seeing them worn. (also, seeing Illinois start 3-0)

I think it's an old hat. Looks like the pre-rebrand :illinois:

Virginia Tech with some beautiful throwbacks.

Another thing that was on my wish list for the rebranded baseball.
Maybe someday... *sigh - staring longingly into the distance*

Interesting that Nike is selling an all navy baseball hat with an orange I that they are calling the on-field baseball cap when our team is still wearing last year's blue with an orange brim.

Probably out of the budget to buy those (as most things seem to have been with this process).

Was looking to buy some updated Illini gear today and difficult to find most of the new stuff in stock. Maybe by football season, they will have stuff available.

I'd like to believe it is because demand was so high that they couldn't keep it in stock.

I think the spring apparel line comes out some time in the next few weeks, probably right after the ncaa tournament is done.
