Adidas is discounting the current uniforms. What would everyone like to see in new uniforms in the Cig era?
New Uniforms coming???
- Thread starter Pazhoosier85
- Start date
New successful coaches, new uniforms & new fan optimism. Looking forward to Indiana Football. Go Hoosiers.
I have a feeling we are going to see more and more of the black uniforms.
I think there's a transition uni that's half purple for this year.
I don't mind new uni's . Be cool to see what's up. I used to be a block I man, but the pitchfork has grown on me.
Candy striped pants, pitchfork helmet. Perfect .

I've been expecting black uniforms this season since most recruit commitment pics since Coach Cig was hired were in black jerseys.
Not the biggest fan of black jerseys but just make the logo white. Red on black is just not very visible.
Hopefully more of an alternate uni we bring out once in a while.

Crimson and a color white with some black accent, the pitchfork for the logo and candy strips somewhere would cover a lot of bases.
I think we should let Adidas get crazy and creative, but incorporate our traditional stuff (colors, trident, candy stripes) at least in some small way.
The issue with those lousy Fear of God bball jerseys was there were no hints/flashes/accents/interpretations of anything traditionally IU. Made for a lazy integration without creativity. Just my opinion.

It's not a pitchfork it's a trident.
Old argument from the 247 site.

So silly.
The problem with letting Adidas run wild is that's exactly what will happen. Some artsy crafty guy with 7 degrees will be the lead in designing for my team. That's dumb. No thanks.
I like what Nike does for Oregon. Wild stuff but still clearly Oregon.
But yea I worry Adidas executing!
From here too.It's not a pitchfork it's a trident.

I chose my word carefully.

I don't want to see football with candy stripes any more prevalent than they have been so far. I don't get to decide though so I will accept whatever comes our way.
Candy stripe done wrong, may be almost as ugly as whatever those fatigues were they dressed the basketball team in, mentioned above.
I think it could look very cool though... done right. The basketball teams looks cool. Course for them it's just warmups, not uni.

I'll call it what I've always called it, a pitchfork.It's not a pitchfork it's a trident.

I'll go you one better. It's neither. It's called the IU interlock. Always has been.
Fun to talk about uniform combos and colors, but I don't care what they wear as long as they WIN.

That's where I'm at. If IU wore brown uniforms and steam rolled teams, the winning and celebrations around it would create a tradition and people would love the brown uni's. Until then, we keep debating this because we don't want to talk about the play on the field.
New contract … new uni’s … marketing 101.
I like the to look sharp though. Winning or not I love the crimson colors if done right.
Crimson over red, though, all day.
If we go the clown town route, we had better win, the ridicule
would be endless.
While we're at it, I think we should bring back the huge shoulder pads of the 1990s. We did pretty well in those.
Might be. But if they’re kicking a— every week, I don’t really care. Break out the pink and take names.
One of the things Bobby Bowden and his coaches told me, to turn a losing program around change the uniform so I could establish a new tradition - couldn't do that at the school I was at due to money issues. They were right though, as I went to a school after two seasons with different color of uniform and preceded to go to the state championship lol. It is common for coaches to change uniforms IE Wilson went with a red from Oklahoma instead of IU's crimson. We also saw Wyche decide to go with school colors cream and crimson.
Cam Cameron did as well with the oval logo and black helmets. I associate those uniforms with ARE. One of the only good things associated with that era.
If we truly are going with new uniforms then something along these lines is what I'd prefer to see (minus the cardinals helmet obviously):
*With all Crimson trim and the 2013/2020 style helmet (Crimson with the Interlock IU and Cream (white) face mask)...*
Now if he's just wanting to blow everything up and start from scratch he could just go with a version of the San Francisco 49er's uniform (while keeping our traditional helmet mentioned above...)
My personal favorite is the sharpness and simplicity of the "Rod Tidwell" uniform in the movie Jerry Maguire... Oversized numbers front & back (name optional, nobody can read them after the first 20 rows anyway, not even on tv but if they help with recruiting then keep them), secondary numbers on top of shoulder pads. White pants with three crimson trim stripes down the sides. Crimson stockings... Then...( and this is the key) do what it takes to make that uniform feared and respected in every stadium we play in...
Along the way, bring back the Bison big screen intro for the pregame crowd warm up and have someone design an air conditioned Bison suit (that closely resembles an actual Bison rather than a glorified clown suit) and our accoutrements will be nearly complete (don't have the time to go into the Red Steppers gear)😎...
*Leave the other schools colors to that ugly looking team up north with the toy train and the phony largest drum...*
*With all Crimson trim and the 2013/2020 style helmet (Crimson with the Interlock IU and Cream (white) face mask)...*
