Football team to sport new uniforms in fall

With a new coach and quarterback this fall, it is only fitting that the IU football team has a new look as well.

The Athletic Department announced July 19 that new uniforms would be provided for the upcoming season.

Gone are the stripes on the jerseys and helmets. The red facemasks on the helmets have also been changed back to white as the design had been prior to 2005.

The uniform redesign is intended to evoke the more traditional uniforms of past IU football teams.

The uniforms are designed by adidas and feature the new TECHFIT technology that makes the jerseys and pants 30 percent lighter.

The Hoosiers will debut their new uniforms Sept. 3 in their season opener against Ball State at Lucas Oil Stadium.
