    Illini Basketball Uniforms

    I really think next year we’ll get new uniforms. The last set we got was one year after the football got their new uniforms. I’m assuming it’ll be the same next year. I’m predicting an ‘04-‘05 throwback thrown in with a simple modern looking set. Obviously I’d like to have a throwback look for...

    Illini Basketball Uniforms

    I’d even take a modern update to the Flyin’ Illini uniforms, maybe with a few tweaks. Although they’re perfect in their own right. Would love for those to be our full time set. For the ‘05 throwbacks would you want them to bring back shiny material or a more modern dri-fit look? Can’t go wrong...

    Illini Basketball Uniforms

    Unfortunately I don’t see the modern font going away anytime soon. Nike is stubborn and I feel they’ll want to keep a brand consistency across all sports. The football team doesn’t use them on their unis, however the new turf field uses it in the end zones. Other athletics teams use them as...

    The Sweet 16

    Haha I remember in High School just being excited to be in the tournament, some of my greatest memories were watching BP3 and DJ (hence my profile pic) in some great games. Beating #1 Indiana in particular was such a huge deal for me, as well as almost beating Miami in ‘13 barring a terrible...

    The Sweet 16

    It’s been weird for me especially since the last time we made the S16 I was only 7 years old. I don’t remember much of that season unfortunately, so this was a huge deal for me especially after the dark days we had last decade. I’m soaking up every little moment as much as I can this season...

    Im assuming they go white being the higher seed, thinking we gotta go ‘89, however juju wise I think we go regular oranges.

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    Ayo might be the most clutch player I’ve ever watched. He’s even hit multiple clutch shots for the Bulls.

    I think I might like these more than the orange.

    NBA Draft

    I get it’s a tough situation, I think to Brandon Miller last year. I know it’s a little different because he wasn’t directly involved in the murder case, more of an accomplice if I remember correctly. I recall it being a pretty big story but again he was also a much higher prospect and he wasn’t...

    Me too, loved him in that Iowa home game this year when Brad put in the whole bench unit.

    NBA Draft

    Been looking at mock drafts today and TSJ has been all over the place. I’ve seen him as high as 12 and as low as out of the first round. He’s obviously a first round talent in this weak draft, however the pending charges leave a lot in the air right now. Which I’m sure we all knew that anyways.

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    He has been killing it in Lavine’s absence, love watching him and Coby White!

    Illini Basketball Uniforms

    Would love your idea, my biggest fear is that they’ll want to stick to the “brand identity” and keep the 7LL7NO7S font. Although, I have noticed in a lot of the branding recently we’ve been doing a lot more of the script font so I’m hoping Nike will notice this trend and realize we all hate our...

    Illinois 93, Wisconsin 87 - Big Ten Tournament Champions

    Loved the way this team handled adversity in this tournament. Down big in the 2nd half for all three but made adjustments and clutch plays to seal the wins. Playing like that and keeping our composure will get us far in the tournament. Ver proud of this group!

    Illini Basketball Uniforms

    My prediction is that we’ll get new uniforms next year. With football getting some last year, we’ve typically got some the year after, at least that’s what happened with the last set. The trend with Nike lately is that they’ve been giving a lot of teams what I call modern throwbacks. UCONN...
