I know this isn't football related, but assuming this is the most active IU board, thought maybe it might help others and hopefully, IU. Would like to buy where it benefits, the players, sports program and school, and I don't know if that happens if you just buy something off Amazon. Looks like Hoosiers Connect has some gear, but not a great selection.
if you're looking to buy national champ gear and save money, the dick's sporting goods site has free shipping for all iu national championship gear right now.
if you're looking for gear that's a bit higher quality and more creative with its designs, check out homefield. it's also an alumni owned business.
if you're wanting to support the school just go through the iu athletics webstore.
Homefield. Started by IU grads and has creative and cool stuff.
Also brands such as Peter Millar, Rhoback, and Johnnie-O. These will be on the more expensive end.
Great thread.
Post your best buys here.
Told my brother months ago I want a shirt of some sort with Hoosier the Bison that says Hoosier Daddy, and it didn't seem to exist at that time.
$40 hats and $45 T-shirts seem a bit much. Also not so thrilled by the black championship shirts. Prefer cream or crimson.

I dropped $60 on the black shirt the players were wearing on the field and I’m not gonna feel bad about it. 😂

Could always order one of these

And then one of these to go on the right breast pocket area opposite the Hoosier Huddle
Could also order Rose Bowl and Peach Bowl patches from the above.
My daughter has an extensive Cricut setup and embroidery machine so she can pretty much customize any type of applique or embroidery. I reckon I know what I will be asking for at Father's day.

@tammany I love the Homefield story and generally look there first, because of their support for IU and The Back Home Network, but am I the only one who finds their prices ridiculously high? I also don't like that they advertise codes for 20% off, but it's not discounted off the price. You have to get an email and then click a link, etc... and they send you a prepaid card at some point in the future. I hate when company's mis-state (mislead) stuff like that. 20% off means a $100 should be $80, not $100 and you get a prepaid gift card later. I try with them, but must say I don't love their business practices. Great quality though it seems.
Nice Bison has some cool stuff, but not licensed to use the logo. They currently have a CigNatti T that I bought for $28
Academy Sports has some licensed stuff. I bought a "Flipping Champs" T shirt the week of the Peach bowl for like $30

First I've heard of the 20% off thing -- I get what they're doing, not ideal, but I guess I don't care much.
Their prices don't seem too wild to me given the quality and creative design. $40-50 tees, $70-80 sweaters and hoodies... not too bad, same or cheaper than the IU store. But, to each their own when it comes to IU gear.
@kkott I get 10-20% off their prices all the time and have never had to go through that. It literally just takes the discount off the price at checkout, so not sure what happened for you.
I used to think they were too pricey, but the quality is much better than other competitors. So I dealt with it, especially since their designs were so much better than a plain IU shirt/sweatshirt from Dicks. Now all the stores are all about the same, so I personally don’t see it as an issue.
@shooter i like the shirt but i agree because i own so many black t shirts that i didn't want it. i'd rather have a cream and/or crimson one like you said.
