Tonight's game- ISU asked to bring their white uniforms

[Da Coach]

More evidence of something unusual going to happen tonight, maybe a secret weapon, such as new black uniforms?
See the 8th paragraph of this article from today's Bloomington Pantagraph-
The Redbirds were asked -- and agreed -- to wear their home white uniforms.........

The Braves have declared tonight a "Blackout," encouraging their fans to wear black and also handing out black Bradley T-shirts in Carver Arena.

Does Bradley have a trick up its sleeve, maybe wearing black uniforms for the first time? No one in the Braves' camp is saying.

I assume we will be hearing AC/DC during the introductions.

On his radio show yesterday, JL did not say "no" to the black uniform question from Greg or Dan... Said you'd have to wait and see...

Anything less than awesome black uniforms will be a disappointment now in my eyes. That is of course until we win...then I won't care anymore.

I assume we will be hearing AC/DC during the introductions.

That would certainly be a huge step in the right direction from the current pregame stuff....


Personally I prefer Thunderstruck, but they could remove that hokey 1 intro music and replace it with something better like that...or that ridiculous Under Armor intro music...

My guess was Back in Black. They used to crank that during the glory days of the indoor football.

Just glad to see we are doing everything we can to pump people up for this game... black uni's, blackout with free shirts, etc etc...

No excuse crowd... athletic dept is doing everything they can! (Aside from better promotions... which I doubt we'll see! )

[BradleyBrave]

I am against the black uniforms at home...but if they do intros to 'Back in Black'...Well lets just say they will have won me over!

[BradleyJD]

I love the idea of black uniforms. They should use them all the time.

[Double D]

I love the idea of a great big W! I don't care what color we wear.

I hate to be a negative nellie, but if we have a stinker in the black uni's I'll never hear the end of it over here in McLean County.

Im just ecstatic that the marketing department is finally in tune with something new and fresh and is actively marketing something for a change. If we can get people excited for these promotions, get them to a game against the rival, and then show them a win, I think the attendance could increase for the rest of the season (of course assuming we dont tank, I'd like to believe it wont be the case )

[peoriaspitfire]

of course winning the game is first and foremost, but this has me more excited than ever. I have been hoping to see a black alternate for quite some time now.

(Aside from better promotions... which I doubt we'll see! )

how about....7 minutes to make a layup and the whole crowd gets a free steak from Jim's?

[Murph]

Will the The Who be playing at halftime?
