What I do have a problem with is not having names on the uniform, mainly because I think recruits care about that. For me, I couldn't care less, but if recruits want it then do it. Its not 1993 anymore. Do whatever it takes to get Nike when the Adidas contract is up even if it means less money. Players love swag and Nike is the best at that. I like some things Adidas does, but the most recent changes to our uniform a few years back are horrendous looking. Removing the ribbing from the jersey around the arms and neck, widening the shoulder on the jersey, and adding the big stripes on the shorts looks so bad. Look at the Celtics/Lakers, I've always thought IU had that same clean classic look, now it looks awful. Adidas just does a terrible job keeping up with trends that 18-22 year olds desire. Literally all the NBA teams have gone the direction of our old style, and then we go with the new dopey Adidas look-makes no sense. Add some alternates with the cursive Indiana script or the Bison. Change is okay, I promise. Let the players pick most of the music played in AH. It may anger some old guys, but it needs to be updated. Love the pep band, don't mess with that. Get more NBA players on campus. I think with Woodson's connections we will be seeing more NBA/Ex Nba players around. UK brings back NBA all stars and has well known musicians at their games. Its not a huge deal, but I think it adds to the aura of having a cool up to date program. Are you the sports version of Gordon Ramsey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit mixed on the black, but they were all based on uni's of the past for IU and our various logos. Gives an idea though on how you can pay respect to the past, while also modernizing our branding going forward. The 4 on the left should be a no brainer. The whits one on the right id put the trident/pitchfork IU on the shorts and put HOOSIERS on the jersry. I like the idea of the black, but i think id put HOOSIERS down the leg rather than the pin stripe and put the IU on the chest, kind of like Arkansas had the picture of the razorback on theirs.

The other thing is I think the NFL alternate merchandise sells like bananas. Easy money for a department that needs it. For my taste, our regular jersey is iconic and amazing. If you look at them up close, they look fantastic. Classic block letters. Other than maybe UNC, Kansas or UCLA being in our class, I do not think they ever get any better when it comes to taste. What I would have done to ever wear that jersey! To be honest, I wouldn’t mind something more aggressive for alternate. I have a black IU visor with interlocking red IU and I love that. We could do something like that. And maybe add something multi color. I am hardly a fashion designer though so what do I know. I should stay in my lane.

I was 6 years old in 1993 so don't remember the great times like some of you lucky old ba$tards. My four years at IU were two years of Sampson and the first two Crean years- just a terrible time to be a diehard fan going through Bloomington.

It's got a cool runnin' rebels ring to it that I think recruits will like. Bring back the Bison mascot. We are like the only team that doesn't have a mascot. I think the kids in the stands would like it. New jerseys. Names on jerseys. I enjoyed this discussion, but really feel right now, it is more important to put the right names IN the jerseys. If that is done, everything else will take care of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
