No. 22 Illinois will roll out new throwback uniforms at home on Saturday as the team plays No. 24 Michigan.
The throwback uniforms will pay tribute to legendary Illinois halfback Red Grange, who ran for six touchdowns against the Wolverines in 1924.
The uniforms go very, very, very far to illustrate how football fits looked back in the 1920s. The results are, shall we say, interesting.
While uniforms are certainly in the eye of the beholder, these feel designed to invite strong reactions in both directions.
Some college football found them to be, well, quite hideous. We'll let you be the judge. See the uniforms and the reactions below.
