Here's the full release from the school on the shirt.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Fighting Illini fans have chosen the new design of the 2013 Loyal-Tee shirt. The Football "Loyal-Tee" shirt features the winning fan-submitted slogan "There is an I in my Team" and is now available at both Gameday Spirit locations in Champaign and online.
