You do realize that this is a board thing....players don't know about this unless we tell them...Because the basketball blues are cursed. We've done quite well in O-B-O for football this year
Sorry but we do....same colors...who can be more creative...all Blue....?That's fine, but the orange-orange-white looks rough. I'd rather we wear Blue-Orange-White or White-Orange-White if we want to focus on orange jerseys. Hell, even an orange out would look better than what the Bears trotted out today.
I also don't think anyone other than a few on this board think we look like Syracuse. Outside of this season, no one outside of upstate New York is thinking about Syracuse football.
And the other is Blue....I don’t want us to look like Syracuse either, but you think we should get rid of orange jerseys? That’s our primary color so we shoul figure out a way to wear it well if we aren’t already.
I'm not the one complaining. Talk to OP. There are only so many combos of orange and navy, and I'm good with the combos that don't involve O-O-WSorry but we do....same colors...who can be more creative...all Blue....?
White pants after Labor Day.???You do realize that this is a board thing....players don't know about this unless we tell them...
Could be. Illini pretty much always wore blue shirts at home. Blackman changed them to orange.Did anyone else hear Loren tate talking about how Illinois came to use orange as our primary color? IIRC, he said Bob Blackman started it because he liked Syracuse colors and when he got here he changed from primarily blue to orange. Do I have the story correct?
We absolutely look like Syracuse but who cares?I also don't think anyone other than a few on this board think we look like Syracuse.
Looks like pants from one uniform, jersey from another.We need something like these!!! Hail to the orange
It’s not about the players. It’s about the Force.You do realize that this is a board thing....players don't know about this unless we tell them...
I'd be way more concerned if this was true, because it would mean the basketball team was avoiding wearing the blues...to appease a message board?!?You do realize that this is a board thing....players don't know about this unless we tell them...
You know coaches are a very superstitious group right? See Coach Bielema. I’m sure coaches and players alike are aware of their record in the blue unis.(and not because they look at message boards)I'd be way more concerned if this was true, because it would mean the basketball team was avoiding wearing the blues...to appease a message board?!?
Oh I know, I was being sarcastic because the post I was responding to suggested these superstitions were only held by fans. Clearly that's not the case, otherwise we'd have seen them sport the blue jersey way more often, because I don't actually think BU takes his cues from us!You know coaches are a very superstitious group right?

See caoch B and his orange Nike shoes for example.You know coaches are a very superstitious group right? See Coach Bielema. I’m sure coaches and players alike are aware of their record in the blue unis.(and not because they look at message boards)
