I agree. I don't seen anything wrong with what we currently wear. I think it's a cool, simple design. Not sure what you'd change -- or what would demand a big change. We wore some Black History Month unis recently (can't remember exactly when) -- thought those were a pretty cool alternate option. 

I have seen some people say we should add names to the jerseys. TBH, with only 15 or so players, I don't think we really need them. But if they eventually added them, I'd be fine with it (not that they care what I think). I recall Davis saying he'd like to do that, but don't remember any other coach pushing for that. 

IMO, it'd be difficult to change the color scheme too much on any alternate uni we might wear. If we go black -- a popular option -- we'd look like our little brothers up north, and if we went grey, we'd look like our little brothers to the east. But I'm sure there are cool options someone could come up with for an alternate look every now and then that keep the home unis white and the visiting duds red.

Maybe as a compromise on the name/no name thing -- the alternates could have names? 

The BHM uniforms are pretty nice. Honestly, that coloration without the added colors for BHM would be a nice cream/crimson jersey too.

Hypothetically, if something needs to change, I'd throw the names on the back permanently before changing any other design elements. It looks clean without, but wouldn't hurt anything or anyone if we threw them on there.

Well he also had the charisma of a rock and a play style 50 years past it's time.

You must have never seen college games from the 80's and 90's because it wasn't anything like Archie's style. That era was the best I have seen in college basketball and it isn't close.

I actually think it is time to build a new arena. Not for recruiting or being cool but for the fan experience. We need to have an arena that really has no bad seats and have great sight lines. We need to build a more modern Hinkle Fieldhouse or Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

We also need to have a real student section like a lot of other teams have. I would put the students in the lower section on both end of the floor.

So what you're saying is Indiana got duped into two hires by bad coaches and their camps?

Fool Dolson once, shame on you… fool him twice, we have a pattern. And Buckner is the snake oil salesman of the century.

And what is the difference between Indiana and Duke right now? Indiana and Kentucky? Kansas? North Carolina? Any sort of difference over the last 30 years at all?

One difference would be that they were cheating more prolifically than IU before NIL.

I personally want to embrace the "cream" part of our colors more. Cream that outlines the letters and numbers. Get striping down that side that has red and cream(or white and cream on the red jerseys). I personally liked the cream jerseys we wore when Crean was here, but the jersey design itself was poorly executed.

I like those ideas (and I'm old). : )

Cream basketball unis -- if done well -- could look nice. 

Years ago, during Sam Wyche's one year as football coach, we wore cream and crimson football unis -- and they were butt ugly. Or at least I thought so.

I agree with this. And have said it for years. You can keep Assembly Hall. Turn it into a campus used building and museum.

They definitely have to be done correctly to work.

100% ugliest uni’s ever.

-I would change court to have more color. 
- Nike Brand Uniforms 

- Add names to them 

- Hire a coach that can put together a team that scores points and defends. Rebounds and makes free throws.

I am pretty sure they tried cream in 2014 during the Big Ten tourney. Wasn't great and wasn't the worst thing I have ever seen. I think something bolder around the shoulders and neck(and no v-neck) and bottom of shorts would work. Along with some red and white striping down the sides. I honestly think I'd do some white numbers and letters though with red outlining though and white logos(no stars).

You mean like how people talk crap about striped pants? It isn't that there is a problem with the court or jerseys, but there is a problem with never changing because of "tradition" when any sort of winning tradition is gapped by a 3 decade period of mediocrity. Right now, striped pants are tied to mediocrity. Our jerseys are tied to mediocrity. Indiana basketball is mediocrity. It isn't winning. It isn't championships. It isn't making the tourney. It's losing. It's arrogance. It's ego. It's outdated. And there are zero plans to start something new.

Ask Donny Marshall about the candy stripes he hates them.

I’ve always said our iconic look is the pants. Not the unis. Every blue blood basketball team has modified their unis over the years. Kansas has some really solid alternates, even under adidas. Holding on to the classic look with no names is meaningless. And has, obviously, nothing to do with success and a winning tradition. Our look and what we are known for is the pants. Keep the pants. Let’s update the unis.

If coaches today had the record that K did in his first three years of coaching would be fired but the athletic director at the time knew what he was doing and the rest is history.

These days, K would've never been hired in the first place. He had just finished a 9-17 year at Army. 

Who hires a coach coming off a record like that?
