I like tradition, I don't think they need to change, and I don't think we need to talk about it, but....

since it seems they may have made a concession to the fans over the backlash for the 'fear of god' unis, I gotta say, these are much better. Numbers are clear and they have a clean look.
 
We look like Louisville. But more apparent is: just as long as you win, no complaints.

Nothing is sacred in today’s world. Everything is for sale. Just buy it. Annnd win…

Would not be disappointed if IU made these in a red version for their regular away unis... and I'm as old school tradition uniform as they get.

I loved them! Give them 10 years and they'll be traditional unis. Tradition is only the past, people.
Case in point. Nothing sacred here. Tradition is only the past. Whatever that means. No reason to stay true to yourself or what you’ve always been. Just find new ways to sell what you are. Yay!

IUs basketball uniform is a very recognizable uniform and looks good. Why screw with it?
 
These are hands down the best alternate unis we've had. (Granted, that's a pretty low bar...). Love the script text, but would like the text to be slightly bigger and tilted upwards from left to right, with the number offset to the right. Not too dissimilar to the Bulls away jersey during MJ's rookie year.

I’ve gotten belittled more than most for crapping on that first atrocity and semi-freaking out about those idiotic fear of gawd awful. But I’ve gotta say, the script and state outline on both pant sides kinda won me over. Didn’t mind that at all…even in a color more appropriate for little brother up 65. Bucket’s better half even agreed. And she’s a traditional stickler way more than me.

Wow, no need to be so incredibly dramatic. It's simple, tradition today is what happened yesterday. UK started changing their unis, it was mocked, now you can tell what year the team was based on those unis. That is part of the UK tradition. Same with Fab 5 long shorts with UM.

In the end, if you win, you'll have a tradition regardless of what it is you do. It's pointless to whine about it.
