Illini players to go nameless
After a season with too much "me" and not enough "we," the Illini hope to clean their dirty laundry.
They'll do so with new laundry. New, nameless laundry.
Illinois will introduce new threads for the 2008-09 season. That's pretty normal. And their new uniforms have about the same design as last season's uniforms -- same font, with a similar look -- but with a different kind of fit. The jersey is tighter, the shorts are big and baggy. You can get a idea by looking at Ohio State's uniforms (not really the design, but the style).
But there's one major difference from last season's duds.
They won't have names on the back.
No "Meacham," no "Brock," no "Legion," no "Jordan."
The Illini are going nameless, an indication they want to be about the name on the front, not the name on the back.
Because there isn't one.
What do you think? Good idea? Or should they keep the names?
