All the way down to the stripes on the legs, metalic helmets and the HOOSIERS above the numbers on the front looks a lot like SOONERS.

Don't get me wrong, they look badazz but I don't remember them looking like that before.

One difference I see is that IU doesn't put player's names on the back but the rest is almost exactly the same!

I believe that last year was their first year with the Unis.

I like it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I'm trying to find the official colors. With the exception of names on the backs of the jerseys, they're identical...

Cool, do they have a website?

This is funny, a UK website, "Penguin Radio" http://www.penguinradio.com/search/display.php?stationid=2430

I don't know about a web site but I was playing "Risk" on line a couple of years ago, my tournamen name was something with SOONER in it. Anyway, I'm playing this guy and he just assumed that my name refered to his soccer team.

When we realized that we were talking about different "football" teams and different "SOONERS" it was pretty funny.

BTW he had never heard of the Oklahoma Sooners.

They ripped them off before our school was even founded. 1840's I think.

Indiana's official school colors are crimson and cream. They changed a few years ago. http://www.1122productions.com/tradition/colors/
