Style over substance

Just saw this... if we can't win a game, maybe new unis will help us feel better about ourselves... SMH

That’s what some people have wanted around here. We will see.

This just in...the football stadium has a really big American flag.  

Good Lord.   What has become of this athletic program?

Better to play good, than to look good.

Guys, this stuff is planned out well in advance. It’s not like Indiana got together with Adidas last week and said, “hey things are really sad here, can we do a uni redesign?! That’ll fix it.”

They say that comedy is all about timing...I find this whole thing very funny. I am reminded of a blooper from Howdy Doody where Buffalo Bob thought the camera was off and proceeded to say "That oughta keep the little ******s happy for another week!". Maybe the new uniforms will change the bad juju...I doubt it...but just maybe.

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.

I’d be willing to bet this was planned in the off season.

I think our fan base and the program are on completely different wave lengths. Both are not happy with the current product, one has complete confidence this is a minor hurdle on the road to success.

We’ll see, but I’m honestly excited to see some new uniforms! I’d rather watch wins, but no reason to not enjoy whatever other positives come along the way.

If you look at the logo at the bottom of the tweets, it’s says CBC or Celebrate Black Culture, so I think these are only a temporary jersey. Maybe for the whole month of February or just one game, idk.

They’re celebrating Black History Month in some fashion. There’s your timing answer.

IMO?

Y'all that are complaining about a temporary uniform variation need to lighten the heck up.

Yes adding them for Black history month. As are all Addidas schools. This might be a new low of complaining.

Typical IU fan overreaction. This has been planned with Adidas for months & Adidas will announce it today. (Link) https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ALF8dJooWkZFwuCfW5ZHwKGvUMt51_w/view

I googled it because I wanted to know the exact word used since yours was censored, and this came up near the top of the queue.  It doesn't mean you can't continue to use it.  I intend to add it to my repertoire now that I have heard it for the first time.  It's a good one.  In fact I think I am going to begin using it every time in conversation a children's tv show comes up.
