Northwestern men's basketball is wearing special alternate uniforms for its game against the Illinois Fighting Illini on Wednesday in Evanston, Illinois. The game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. CT. Rather than wearing Northwestern's traditional purple, the jerseys are the colors of the Chicago flag — white, red and light blue. Illinois radio broadcaster Deon Thomas was not a fan of the uniforms. "I'm looking at the T-shirts, and I'm looking at the uniforms — what is Northwestern thinking," Thomas said of the Northwestern alternate jerseys during the pregame radio broadcast.
