Home whites for Illinois tonight vs. N.C. State. Best part? It's the throwback Fighting Illini home whites.

Your officials for tonight's game: Paul Szelc, Chris Beaver & Bo Boroski (who's apparently going to do about every #Illini game this year).

Really? Throwback uni's when they are celebrating a movement forward. Very contradictory of you.

sorry to be a downer but I hate them wearing throwback uniforms. They don't play like the old teams did, and seeing these Groce teams in the throwbacks leaves me feeling, "who are these guys and what did they do with the teams I love?"

Better than their atrocious general home whites in my mind.

I like it. Celebrate the movement forward but also showing that you remember the past.

Hope to see a good game from Black and Hill.

We can win this if the Groce plays the right guys predominantly and those guys buckle down on defense, rebound, and play together on offense. Hitting open looks would help too. Obi this is the recipe for success in any hoops game. But even though it is obvious for many, it's not obvious to our coaching staff or players.

It doesn't matter one bit to me who starts. I care more about who plays "starter's minutes" in the end. If TJL comes off the bench, provides a spark, plays more minutes than he has before, what's wrong with that?

Here's to starting a winning streak tonight.

ILL

I don't know. I like the old unis. Hopefully some of the old mojo rubs off on this team. As long as the announcers don't refer to them as the Flying Illini like they did last week. No comparison to that team.

Agreed. I love the navy away jersey, the silver and the throwback white jerseys. The orange is ok I guess but could look better. But I haven't warmed up to the home white at all yet. Doesn't look good imo. Of course if we started winning they could be wearing anything and I wouldn't care :D. Think we'll get a big W tonight. Go Illini!

Does anyone know where you can buy the throwbacks? I've been looking for the last year and have had no luck

Try fightingillini.com or AliExpress. AliExpress has really good deals on a bunch of different jerseys, but are all made overseas and takes about a month to arrive. The quality is very good however from mine and my friends experiences. Good luck! If you find one PM me LOL

The fighting illini jerseys are our best ones. Should be our home jersey for every home game.
