UNIFORM NOTES

» In all, Illinois wore eight different combinations in 12 games this season. 

» The most common? The Illini wore orange/blue/orange and white/white/white three times each. They wore six other combinations one time each. 

» After wearing white helmets with navy blue face masks Sept. 17 vs. Western Michigan, the Illini switched to white face masks on the white helmets for the remainder of the season. 

» On Oct. 29, the "Gray Ghost" alternate uniforms honoring Red Grange, the "Galloping Ghost," were worn on Homecoming for the third straight season. However, this year instead of the white helmets with chrome accents, the Illini wore a navy blue helmet with chrome decals along with the gray jersey and pants. 

Illinois athletics completed a large-scale, 18-month brand evaluation program with Nike in 2014. The collaboration began in January 2013 and resulted in an updated brand and identity system starting in 2014-15, including logos, marks, uniforms, equipment, lettering, numerals and consistent colors for all 19 Illini sports, including football, and the DIA as a whole. The rebranding was unveiled on April 16, 2014, at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. Get a closer look at the current Illinois logos and colors.
