Illinois unveiled its new uniforms, as part of the school's long-awaited Nike rebrand, Wednesday night. The designs, which were leaked Tuesday night, should please Illini fans. For starters, the rebrand brought consistency across all of the school's sports, to the point that every team will have the same shades of orange and blue, logos and fonts. See the uniforms in this post.

Good stuff, Illinois. There's a lot to like here. I especially like the faint vertical stripes on the football uniforms, an obvious nod to the Red Grange era. The soccer uniforms, with the new shield on the front, are sharp, too.
