The process took months of trial and error, but the Illinois football program knew what it was looking for when it came time to design new uniforms ahead of the 2023 season.
The list of priorities was fairly straightforward: The uniforms needed to incorporate orange, blue, and white on the jerseys and pants, have a modern look while keeping traditional aspects of the past, and include the program’s “famILLy” logo.
Going through several iterations before settling on the final product, the Illini unveiled their new threads on Monday, a uniform the team will debut at their home opener against Toledo on Sept. 2.
