@Justin_Albers: Indiana will wear a throwback Adidas uniform from a national championship year later this season, per a release from Michigan. Neat. #iubb

Don't tell me we're wearing the Alford hip hugger shorts.

Interesting to hear this.  Probably a slight font change in the "INDIANA" block letters on the uniform... Think the short shorts are coming out?

As critical as I've been, I like this move.

 

So that narrows it down to 5.

1940

1953

1976

1981

1987

5 jerseys, all identical to ones we wear today. Lol.

Should be fun!

Not true, they are not identical.  40 and 53 didn't have pinstripes  :D .

I vote 1953

[Hovadipo 53,016]

It'll be the 75th anniversary of the '40 championship. So however they can throwback to that is my guess.

By cutting of the shoulders until they're barely spaghetti straps?

I bet some of those actual unis are laying around somewhere. They'll just crumble when any contact is made though.

I really hope they do the Bobby Slick Leonard Uniforms.  The other Nat'l Championship Uni's are already so similar as to our design now, but the 1953 really looks Old School and I think they'd look really cool, plus I think it's sweet that we can pay homage to the old IU teams with their jerseys.

It'd be a sight to see Priller in short shorts. Some might go blind.

the only thing that has changed from 1940 to 2014 is the shorts belt...

looks like RoJo, JBJ, Yogi, Troy, and Hanner are tipping off with short belts...

that's right...a belt...for basketball shorts...

 

edit...now you know why candy strips are so adored...

A dazzling deep v neck would be just fabulous

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I vote 1953!

 

I think this is a great idea to generate fan interest and pay tribute to a great team from the past!

[LIHoosier 25,029]

I want to see them wear the '76/'81 high socks.

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

I still have a standing bounty for anyone who can get me a pair of the throwback shorts...hopefully IU just releases them. 

[OliviaPope40 6,300]

Too bad some left the program early.

[hper50 1,170]

Really do love this idea.  My vote would be for 1953, but if I had to guess, it'll be something similar to 76, 81, or 87.

[Lt. John McClaine 541]

There are definitely some subtle changes even from the 76,81,and 87 uni's.  The font is different, the color red is slightly different, the IU on the shorts is different.  The 1953 and the 1940 jersey's are noticeably different, and that's why I hope we wear one of those two.
