As expected, Illinois back in Flying Illini throwbacks today vs. Maryland. Expected because #Illini haven't lost in them yet this year.

We really ought to drop the orange rebrand unis and get some orange throwbacks too. All of those unis were awesome.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Totally agree, I think the team wearing these constantly will eventually lead to us dropping the re-brand unis. And hopefully lead to us getting road orange and alt. blue Flyin' Illini era threads. It would be great if we could establish a set of uniforms that never changes ala UCLA.

Are the throwback jerseys available for purchase anywhere?

Looks like a good chunk of the first half will only be viewable via ESPN3 or WatchESPN

Better get espn3 or watchespn or whatever they are calling it ready. This Texas / WV game could go long.

^^ wizard beat me to it

The starting lineups for #Illini and Terps. Same starting five as the Michigan game for Groce.

It won't let me actually click to watch it on espn3. It pops up but there's no "play" button on it.

I'm sure there are good people at ESPN, but on the whole, I hate them!

I don't understand why they wouldn't make it available online yet.
