Purdue to Wear Rose Bowl Throwbacks vs. Illinois

Last season Purdue wore its black throwback uniforms from the 2000 season against Northwestern to honor the 20th anniversary of the 2000 Big Ten championship season. Of course, no one got to see them in person, so we get to run it back this week against Illinois.

They are back!

The uniforms that sent the team to the Rose Bowl will be on display Saturday. https://t.co/xdTRwQ9eFX pic.twitter.com/ciizoRk6D6— Boiler Uniforms (@BoilerUniforms) September 23, 2021

Now they need to sell these.

Purdue is running this back so the 2000 Big Ten championship team can get its proper honoring in front of a home crowd.
