Anyone else think this would be a cool idea? I reallllllllllllly loved the throwbacks this year. I think we should make them our permanent home color. It really sets us apart, and is a tangible tie to our wonderful basketball history.

Am I nuts, or does anyone else like this idea??? (Be kind, please...:pray:)

rotate them

have three uniforms and rotate them during the season. i second the notion of wearing them for "big"" games on the schedule.
 
Yeah you could go one of two ways with this for sure. You could make it the permanent color scheme of Indiana State basketball. My proposal if your a going to do that is spread it throughout the university! I mean every athletic team should wear the powder blues! How sweet would that be. Add some new flava to the Tress.

Then again you can be like many of the major programs in the country (i.e Georgia football when they break out their Black Uniforms once or twice a year) or (Notre Dame football when they break out their Green Uniforms once or twice a year). This is a nice idea and some would argue that it get's the players pumped up! However someone like Bobby Knight would argue that a uniform could not possibly have an outcome on the game, just like their is no such thing as a game face! "What's a game face look like, :sycamores:, :talktohand:, :(, :bigsmile:, :censored:" One of the best tirades Robert Montgomery Knight ever went on! (For the record I hate IU basketball and everything about IU except Bob Knight).

Anyway I say make the powder blue the main color of the university! Let's change it up. The only other powder blue team in the country is UNC that I can think of. So let's change it up!
 
I wouldn't be in favor of going back to powder blue as our permanent colors. The royal blue is sharp and a little more impressive. I'm fine with it as it relates to the basketball team because it's a reminder of the program's past success. We can't have too much of that.
 
football used to use powder blue too

they had powder blue helmets with the isu football logo...with powder blue jerseys and also powder blue pants (with a red and white stripe going down the side). the pants looked like the old houston oilers. sweet, except they didnt fit very well. the guys had to tape their thigh pads in place because they slipped down on occasion. lol

I have let it be known to some around the team that the "'79 Blues" (as I call them, I know they were around before and after) be worn a few times a year....sort of like when Notre Dame football brings out the green jerseys...maybe a little more than that. I would also like to see us move to black with blue trim roadies!!!! Just shake it up a little.:meditate:
:sycamores:
 
Oh, by the way, the baseball home unis are powder blue this year and they look good! Although I would bag the white shoes and go with black or blue.

for those who haven't seen them!
 
The baseball unis look nice. I think once or twice a year for basketball works. Notre Dame only pulls out the green jerseys on very rare occassions. It's not every season.

Yeah, they usually come out when they are winning and in the national spotlight during a big game.....ex. USC or a Bowl....I think years back they came out for Fl. State.

I want the university to go powder blue with all teams, I want it to be the off. (official) color of Indiana State. It's time to change it up. If we change our color scheme it would be a good thing for the univeristy. I don't know how schools go about getting things like this done. But you could phase it out. Perfect time to roll this out with a new baseball field coming. Deck it out in powder blue! I hope someone at Indiana State is reading this and going man this sounds like a great idea I think I am going to bring this up and next Wednesdays staff meeting!

I think it always has been the off color. A few years ago the football team's jersey had a light blue streak down the sides - which I thought looked ugly.

off. meaning official. My bad we should be spelling things out for Iowa fans... Jake and I are sincerely sorry. If he does not mind me speaking for him... :)

Well, they taught me in Indiana to use periods with abbreviations. Can't remember whether that was while I lived in Rockville, TH or Indianapolis, but I'm sure Jake received the same lesson, unless he missed it during his time in Illinois, which is entirely possible.:)
 
the off. (that's official) colors...lol....

isu's athletic department has bounced from navy blue to columbia blue to "powder" bloue back to navy blue to whatever blue it is now. lol

it used to be that one team had one form of blue and another team had another. they finally tried to organize it and make one shade of blue the "official" color. all teams had to use it.

i would much prefer to use the "powder" blue or the north carolina blue (although it doesn't work well on walls for offices. i tried that at my last house. made the room too dark lol).

Maybe it's just the Colts fan in me, but I liked the royal blue for last year's football uniforms. I hope we stick with those. I liked the basketball uniforms a couple of seasons back with the sycamore leaves running down the sides.

And at last we can agree on something... Go Horse!
 
The saying is, "If you are going to go, GO ALL OUT!". I think we should apply this to the ISU uniform situation.

If we are going to wear the old colors, we should wear the old fits to. Make the guys come out with the short-shorts. Back in the short-shorts days, we had to wear jock straps just so our "fellas" wouldn't hand out the bottom.

How do you think the guys on the team would like that?

By the way, I heard that the football team is going to have an All-Black alternative uniform combination next year.
