'This is NOT Purdue': Reaction to Indiana football's alternate black 'ghost' uniforms
Indiana football will have a haunting look this weekend.
The Hoosiers will break out "ghost" uniforms for Saturday night's game against Akron.
IU unveiled the unis — black with red lettering and white trim, and a red stripe on the pants — on social media.
The school didn't say whether this look is a one-off or if it will become part of its rotation.

Thanks to @adidasFballUS — we're wearing the Ghost uniforms against Akron on 9/23. pic.twitter.com/ocBNNN9f4C— Indiana Football (@IndianaFootball) September 19, 2023

As it always goes with the introduction of a new uniform, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Boo. Just boo. I shall always support IU football. I shall never support IU’s contractual ties to adidas, which supplies tawdry-looking materials and STILL has never gotten our school color right. It’s an insult. I reiterate: boo.
