Looking around, it feels like it might be easier to name all the schools that don't.  
 
Sorta liked when Portnoy on the B-town Big Noon called out all the posers.

I don't doubt other schools are but I honestly haven't noticed.

Nebraska has striped overalls.

I don't mind other schools using stripes, it's pretty common in sports.  I think the only thing we can really claim is striped bball warm-ups.

@tammany I believe Tennessee has used orange striped warmups in the past.  Maybe its their women's program I'm thinking of though?

@iunorth It appears so!  I guess checkerboard looks too goofy on warm-up pants.

If you look in the stands, just in the B1G, you will see purdoo, Iowa, wiscy, and MSU fans all wearing stripes. I think maybe NW and Rutger do too.

Well Indiana stole them from my favorite college hockey team. The Michigan Tech Huskies band which claims forming in 1928 and using stripes from 1967:

Doc Counsilman started using candy stripes here in the 60s.  

A team pic from the '63-64 team with at least one guy wearing the stripes.

@openwheel TN does for sure and has for awhile. Mark Ingram was sporting candy striped overalls for Iowa Saturday. I've seen others too.

@hooky All I took from that is that Hooky hordes pictures of shirtless young guys. NTTAWWT, just an observation.

bookmarks are not the same thing as hoarding.  @capitolhoosier told me so.
