Reaction to Indiana basketball alternate black Fear of God uniforms
Indiana basketball debuted a look Sunday against Northwestern that Hoosiers fans had never seen.
The deep charcoal uniforms with red lettering is a stark departure from the familiar cream and crimson combination. The tease prompted an emphatic reaction.
On the FS1 broadcast, LaPhonso Ellis said: "Personally, I like the cream and crimson."
So now that IU is playing in them, what do fans think?

I thought IU’s colors were cream and crimson?
IUBB has iconic uniforms. No need for these ugly black threads.
Also teams shouldn’t be allowed to wear black uniforms when black isn’t in their color scheme IMO
Stop being ashamed of your schools actual colors and wear them.#iubb https://t.co/3yKdppbfAa— Jesse Wells (@JesseWellsNews) February 18, 2024
IU is NOT the charcoal and crimson. I'm not against alternate uniforms but these need to go in the dumpster and set on fire. https://t.co/w4EZkhML3V

The F.O.G. IU jerseys are hideous but if old heads hate it I should probably like it right? But somehow there are people my age that like them? I’m just hoping Cupps can find his stride & that Mgbako lets it fly #iubb pic.twitter.com/a4Y5kXHtxd

So a one off jersey is going to bring recruits to iu? Or is the plan to move to a jersey like this going forward. Just confused at to how one game jersey is going to get all the kids to want to play at iu? Why did we need a black jersey?? #iubb or a poorly designed one @adidas

Watching NW at IU. Hoosiers wearing what look like gray practice jerseys? School colors are cream and crimson. No gray. Plus they are ugly. Team in traditional home white is Northwestern. This uniform jumble in sports needs to end. I prefer knowing who I am watching!
