Illinois started their season at home last Thursday against Eastern Illinois. They ran on the field wearing their classic-looking home uniforms. These are some of the most underappreciated uniforms in all of college football.

Are they flashy?

Not really, but they maximize a decent color scheme to perfection. The orange helmet with navy and white striping down the middle is great.

It's good how they incorporated a white facemask to add a little more white, which stands out when placed near the navy blue jersey.

The jersey design itself is basic with shoulder striping. However, on a navy background, the bright orange pops out tremendously. The pants are good with the traditional three-layer striping. These are phenomenal.
