Should look good... Actually, I Know they'll look good having seen them in the past...

I'm pretty much up for anything that doesn't resemble the camo pajamas or the candy striped clown suits foisted upon us in past years...

This set actually looks like a Football Uniform...

I prefer the PU game to be our retro uniform game but more worried about getting a win.

Sort of a curious aside on this. in 1995, they wore throwback uniforms to honor the 1945 championship team. They weren't replicas, but sort of a combination of aspects of some old uniform Styles. I believe they put all the game worn uniforms up for sale and had about 200 more available for sale to the general public. I bought one at the Concession stand at the stadium and it still hangs in my closet. If I remember correctly the price for the Jersey was $ 75 to $80.

First game I ever took my now 30 year old son. Scalped tickets outside the stadium. Had my son on my shoulder and walked up to white haired couple, well dressed holding up a couple tickets. Told them I was an alum and just wanted to take my son to his first game. He sold me two on the 50 yard line about 15 rows up for $20 total. I've always appreciated their courtesy!

Was at that ‘95 game vs the Illini, celebrating the ‘45 team. Nice day…except the outcome of the game.

I like 'em but the helmet shouldn't have any stripes, just the block "I." That said, I really like the helmet on a stand-alone basis.

The jerseys could be a tad darker.

And, we could really use a result against an Ohio team that would mirror IU's 41-7 crushing of OSU.

That’s okay if you must, but please, no red double decker bus.

Be thankful no one has proposed Sam Wyche throwback uniforms. . .

Just make sure everything is spelled correctly.

 

[Cap99]

the block I has not been kind to us when worn in recent years - let’s hope that changes Saturday

Hey, it would be fitting since he had a connection to both places. Not UC, but being the head coach of the Bengals

I’m not on the Twitter, but if no one has started an “Indinia Hoosiers” parody account yet, the world is missing opportunities for some good fun.

Ah, Sam Wyche, the one year coaching wonder whose greatest legacy here was the one year logo design. I wish I still had my red ball cap to sell on EBay.

Was it true that Sam was told he'd be offered the Bengals job the following year and he just took the IU job to get his family closer to Cincinnatti? I remember hearing that Knight was pissed at that whole situation.

So embarrassing, especially combined with the outcome of that game. Can we just let it die?

Never heard the family proximity story but it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t have been aware of the coaching heirarchy possibilities.

Ha. I bet the managers go through the boxes multiple times when they arrive from the supplier.

I am not either, but it HAS to be out there by now.

Why move twice?

I have found two such Twitter accounts after doing a search. One has 4 followers the other none. I don’t post their handles here because I’m not overly enthused about it.

 

[EarlTubbs]

IU should wear those threads every game. They’re great.

Heard that, too. I also remember Wyche, when he took the IU job, said he needed to be a head coach somewhere before he got to the NFL.

Scumbag.

Parody accounts can be awesome whether on message boards or twatter but it takes a good writer sans bitterness and that is rare.
