Sorry if this has been mentioned in the Woodson thread or elsewhere, is this a sign that the Cool Dad unis are gone? Or did Scott have someone rummage through storage at the last moment and grabbed the only #42 jersey that they could find?

Good question. When they held that up that was the first that stood out to me.....the piping

Daktronics Indoor LED Ribbon Board Displays on the balcony fascias would increase advertising revenue and give the arena a more NBA like feel.

This isn't specific to Indiana, but I'd like to see college basketball allow players to wear jerseys with Nos. 6-9. I'm not sure, but I think the initial thought to this rule was to make it easier for a ref to call a foul. For instance, if TJD commits a foul, the ref would hold up two fingers and three fingers to signal a foul on No. 23. 

This is Rule 1, Section 22, Article 7, Clause b. 2 “The following numbers are legal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55. Team rosters can include 0 or 00, but not both.”

To me, that seems like a tradition whose time has come and gone. Let a player wear whatever number he wants. I think I still might cap it at 55 -- I wouldn't be crazy about guys wearing no. 75 or 83 or whatever. But if a kid wants to wear No. 9 or No. 17 or No. 26, why not? 

If a foul is on No. 7, and everybody knows it, when the ref holds up three fingers and four fingers -- I think the chances of the foul being mistakenly assigned to No 34 are pretty much non-existent.

For some reason I never liked when players wore single digits numbers especially big guys.  I don't remember any IU players wearing single digits until Jay Edwards wore #3 and Lyndon Jones wearing #4

Good idea to cap it at 55. There would be fistfights at every school over who gets to wear 69.

Agreed. The current version looks so weird to me with piping on the shorts but not on the jersey. I'd prefer the piping on both, but at least make them match.

I generally don't care about uniforms, clothing suppliers, or anything like that at all.  The only thing I would like to see is that everybody on the team wear the same color shoes (and ditch the pink ones).

Isn’t that because Fred Glass designed these uniforms?

That could be cool. Daktonics was who I had to study for my A Core case but sadly we did not recommend this idea.

I think if you go new stadium route down the road, you keep the look and feel of AH but modernize it and improve it. Bigger seats, better views, more seats, but keep the unique look and feel so you aren't erasing the history. That won't be needed for a long time but I would bet they go that route if they found a new stadium was necessary. 

Jersey wise, would love a move to Nike or Jordan with a tasteful home and road alternate for occasional games. Adidas as a hoops outfitter is just not as cool. Most top programs are Jordan/Nike it seems.

I have no idea, but it wouldn't surprise me because I think they coincided with Archie's arrival.

IU has 3 more years with Adidas at nearly $7 million/year. That change isn't happening soon and unless IU becomes great at basketball again, I don't think they're getting that money from Nike/Jordan Brand with all the other schools in their portfolio.

Ya he wrote an entire manifesto on what the uniforms at IU should look like. He said that no sport at the school should have names on the jerseys and they freaked out. His idea was the 5 stars on the back of the pants. It honestly doesn’t make sense because the tops don’t match the bottoms and the cut of the jerseys isn’t what the cool/good programs wear. I’d also like to point out that I tried to find a powder blue LEO quarter zip from adidas and can not find one. Which is sad, if this were a Nike school they’d be all over the LeO branding and pumping that nationally.

Cool update from my source in athletic department. Men’s Basketball looks to be headed to the 21st century in terms of rebranding itself. “Social media, video board, music before/during games, pep band music/uniforms, etc”. Expect more access to program and a total refreshed and modern look. Dolson isn’t messing around when fans are allowed back in.

I’m sure everyone has noticed the increased marketing of CMW and the program recently. This is just the beginning.

I don’t know about potential uniform changes yet!

Why aren’t these our school colors?

Amen. There needs to be a relaunch with actual cream and crimson, a new font, new uniforms, and an alternate logo that isn't just the interlocking IU. I think Oklahoma football is an excellent example of how to use cream and crimson for some uniforms without looking boring, although they still go red and white most of the time. I would go with Nike over Jordan because the Jordan logo is an eyesore.
