I just got an email showing the new design. Looks like they will be worn for the Indiana State home game on Dec. 2- http://links.engage.ticketmaster.com/servlet/MailView?ms=MTAyNTExMjQS1&r=MjU3MDY5NTYyMDAxS0&j=M Tg2MDQxMzk0OAS2&mt=1&rt=0

Also, they have a special pricing deal, buy one ticket, and get a second for $3.09 (Peoria area code for those not in Central Illinois).

Looks kinda bland. Don't really like using "PIA". Why not just say "Peoria" on it? The script unis are the superior look

It is a take-off on the Major League Baseball trend with the "City Connect" jerseys, or the NBA alternate jerseys with the city abbreviation on them. These jerseys are not meant to replace the current Bradley script jerseys, it is just a temporary change, mainly for a promotion and marketing. Notice that they will have merchandise and apparel with the new look available starting with the Nov. 25 home game against Vermont.

Anyone else miss 2000's era jersey's? Maybe its just because i was in school then and thought Ruffin was the man but those shorts and jerseys were great. I know kids hate on the baggy stuff now, but in my generation it was awesome.

Personally, I am holding out hope for powder blue alts of our current unis.

+1...I love it too!

I've always loved Peoria's skyline, nice work!

I hope these uniforms are only used for one game! Do they say Bradley on them anywhere?We are 'Bradley' in Peoria.Promote the school more than the city in my opinion.The city is not going to help with recruiting.

Don't know yet if they will be used more than once.
No, they do not say Bradley anywhere on them, but they do have the Bradley logo on the jersey and the shorts.

I'm a fan. Drake has emphasized their hometown on uniforms in recent years as well. And it's not unusual at all to use airport designations either. Portland often goes by "PDX" and the Trailblazers have worn that designation.

Also, this coming Indiana State game has been picked up by ESPNU.

I support the concept. The execution seems a bit too understated.

Can't disagree. I like them, but they would have had more eye-appeal with a little color accent...

I personally like the color scheme, I think the white/silver really makes the red pop. I like the concept of recognizing the city. I like the use of the skyline. I just don't like using PIA because all I see is Peoria International Airport. I would have preferred PEORIA. I thought maybe the 309, but I guess that might cause consternation with ISU.
