Pics are starting to show up on social media. Definitely more red.
New 2024 Uniforms
- Thread starter Tammany Hall
- Start date
Definitely a fan of the New Indiana Red, with the large print Indiana on the front. Also, the short leg pants look attractive. A great look for the Cignetti Era. Any helmet design change?
Tbd, I have not seen a helmet picture yet…
Are these uniforms 'committed'? Can I believe?
They're committed to maybe, or strongly leaning that way.

I'm a fan of simple, personally. I thought everyone liked the over designed Oregon/Maryland/chromed-out stuff?
Are simple unis coming back? Maybe may cargo shorts will be in too? One can dream.
On a serious note, I thought IU made a policy years back to go with official Crimson and to standardize it across all sports instead of having all of the different shades that were around in the 90s?

Not liking the font but looks alright otherwise.
Definitely seems to follow the K.I.S.S. strategy

Phone problems at my end kept me from accessing your perfectly good links but I did find this article that allowed me to (sort of see them):
From what I'm seeing I like them...
The most important thing I'm seeing is INDIANA across the front of the jersey because it's tough to tell a TEAM that they're playing for the name on the front of the jersey if it's not on there...
Leaving other colors to other teams while sticking with our true school colors is always something I'll be on board with...
Another reason to be happy with both Dolson and Cignetti...
If the helmets are all white with the red standard IU, the new colors remind me of those in the 50's. (I know, I know, lol.)
Sadly cargo shorts (a trimmer version) are already back.
And yes we try to standardize the colors.
The move to crimson was the right move. So much better from a uni and fan gear standpoint
Bite your tongue sir. Cargo shorts are so practical for a man with small children in tow. The Mrs had her diaper bag to lug around at the zoo. I had plenty of cargo space on me.
And I refuse to be judged by the women of the world who made fanny packs and high waist mom jeans fashionable.
I'm glad to move past the black accents of last year, but these are so, so plain. They lack something that makes them uniquely "Indiana." The spacing on the letters in "Indiana" is super odd. Adjust the kerning on the font, or use script Indiana.
The candy-striped shoulder accents we've seen occasionally in recent years were a nice way to make the uniforms distinctive without over-complicating them. Wish we would bring those back. Hoping we keep the crimson pearlescent lids - that's the best way to put red/crimson on a helmet.
It’s odd to me how the spacing between letters is different on the front (wider) than on the back.
It’s the same bitch I’ve had about Memorial Stadium for years. Last I checked, there were 6 different fonts used at various places around the stadium. That’s taboo in every graphic designer’s playbook.

Let's put the candy stripes to bed and reserve it for basketball. IUFB needs their own identity.
Cig has said he thinks the state name is important and a more or less a brand advantage. All the jerseys will probably have Indiana prominently on them. Probably no “Hoosiers” or the trident.

I didn't like the thin black helmet stripes in the Mallory days nor recently. Always thought the dual white stripes were crisp, clean and beautiful.
I think coach Cignetti is showing his traditional values with the uniform. School colors and no others - I like it.
Am I the only one who thinks the trident is placed too high on the side/top of the helmet? Seems like it’s almost touching those fat stripes.
Candy stripes are used all over the athletic department now, from basketball to swimming, track, baseball, and others. They look great in so many applications and, no matter the sport, are distinctive to IU. Football shouldn't be any different.
I tend to agree. Particularly when they’re done well, which I thought the slight candy stripe accent for FB was a nice touch without making it being distracting.
you are not alone BG
Im just hoping these unis dont have the same issues that the MLB/Nike had!🤢
Depends on how much NIL money they can get.
I like the block lettering, but still would prefer if we went more cream and crimson. Although, this red looks decent. I think that jersey will sell.
I think he's right. Having a state name is important when you have four major conferences. That said, they could probably work Hoosiers in somewhere, maybe on the collar.
