CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The Fighting Illini have debuted four new Nike uniform designs during the 2019-20 season. Fresh white, orange and navy uniforms debuted early in the season, plus new throwback whites, inspired by Illini teams from 1975-1980, made their first appearance at the B1G/ACC Challenge game against Miami on Dec. 2. The new throwbacks feature the ILLINOIS script font worn during the late 70s, a diamond trim on the shorts framing the current Block I logo, and the Illinois throwback number system.
Illinois now has five different uniforms available for the 2019-20 season, four new sets plus the orange 1989 Flyin' Illini throwbacks, which made their debut last season.
