DEFAULT Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Didn't see anyone post this, if so, sorry for double posting. Please delete this if it is double posted. Anyways on Wednesday Feb. 18, 2004 in a game played at Assembly Hall in Champaign, Ill. both teams had to wear the "color unis" oddly enough, it looks as if the home team (who should wear white) are the culprits! Geez and the colors are so similar, the refs probably had a fun time! Here's some photos from CBS Sportsline, on TV it looked horrible: What do you guys think? I honestly felt bad for the refs.

See Red Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Yeah, STL Fanatic -- I think that's who it was that took note of this -- pointed this out in the past. I didn't watch the game so I have no idea how hard it was to tell the difference between teams -- however, I can imagine it had to be pretty bad.Imagine being a player who makes alot of no look passes, knowing where your teammate is just out of the corner of your eye by uniform color. I'd imagine it was a fairly sloppy game... i wouldn't know, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezman Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 DEFAULT, where on sportsline do you get those huge photos? I tried looking around the site but couldn't find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yeah, being an Illini fan with DirecTV (on cable not satelite) I listened to the game, but could not watch. I heard about the unis though.Usually the Illini are fine wearing orange as a home jersey (works like yellow or gold). This particular nite, well it didn't seem fine to some people. However, it's listed as a home alternate, and they find it special and lucky. Plus, Wisconsin is lucky in white, so, that's why the Illini played in orange and didn't tell Wisconsin to wear white.

NJTank Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Wow Im shocked it was allowed. I would think that seeing that game officalls would have made Illinois bring out their whites, since they wer ethe home team and could access them.

OnWis97 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I went to Wisconsin and am a big fan. I did not get to watch the game, but I saw the SportsCenter highlights and it looked like a nightmare.I'd like to blame the loss on it. Can someone tell me how you can post those pictures directly on a message? (More to the point, I'd like to do it with my jersey concepts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
