They look much cleaner with the red waistband than the black in the picture we saw earlier. I didn't like them at first, but after seeing them closer up I'm digging em. 

 

That picture looks nice.

Yeah they aren’t overdone and have a purpose. Not bad.

I have to admit: I was bitching about new basketball uniforms -- because I didn't have any idea why we should be worrying about uniforms when we can't win a damn game. But that was before I knew the reason behind them and how they looked. I actually like 'em -- a lot ... I just think the whole football uniform thing is silly. We have red IU helmets, white IU helmets, red helmets with the Indiana torch and white helmets with the Indiana torch and striped helmets (those are ridiculous). And we have about a dozen uniform combinations. Yet we can't win more than five games a season. Let's worry about winning first. 

BTW, I hope to NEVER see us wear this helmet again. ...

Yeah, I get that, but timing is everything. And the optics are horrible.

While it’s true that Glass didn’t decide last week to order redesigned uniforms, somebody DID decide to roll them out mid-season in the midst of the current free-fall.
Names on the jerseys may turn things around!!!

If our jerseys have "Garrett " on the back, I'd be very happy. Seems to me that this is an opportunity to give credit where credit is due. Indiana University's Bill Garrett was the Jackie Robinson of Big Ten basketball.

Ever read "Getting Open." by Rachel and Tom Graham?    Highly recommended if you haven't.  Tells the whole story and how involved Herman B. Wells was.

 

Edit :  Here's the Amazon link.  Seriously worth the read and the $12 bucks if you buy it used.
