Illinois hosts Wisconsin Saturday for a noon ET kickoff. The game will be televised on BTN.
The Badgers are favored to defeat the Fighting Illini, but, which team will look better from an aesthetic perspective? We all know what Wisconsin looks like, but on Tuesday, Illinois revealed its uniform combo:

The Fighting Illini are going with the all-grey, “galloping ghost uniforms.” We’ve seen Illinois rep these before. The grey ghost uniforms debuted in 2004. The helmets have been white in the past, while these have a more grey-ish tint to them.
The game against Wisconsin will be the team’s homecoming game as well, and as Illinois’ recruiting Twitter page stated, the team is honoring Red Grange with its uniform choice. Grange’s nickname was “The Galloping Ghost.”
