I had a friend from Florida recently call me extremely disgruntled with Ball State basketball, football and women’s volleyball wearing solid black uniforms. He reminded me our colors are Cardinal and White and asked if Ball State has officially changed our school colors. He said if BSU is going to wear black uniforms at homecoming in football, in the NCAA tournament in women’s volleyball and in road games in basketball, BSU should change our nickname to Blackbirds!

Kids think alternate uniforms are cool and Black is all the rage so if it adds some excitement for them then who cares

Well Darth Vader wore black and made him the supreme bad ass. When BSU wears black and wins we look the bad ass part but when we lose we are already dressed for the funeral----a win, win situation.

I defy this friend in Florida to identify many schools which have NOT worn alternate colors/styles. Other than Penn State........ It's just the lay of the land today. We still often wear our primary colors. We don't always wear the black uni's, but man, they do look sharp.

I have never seen IU in black basketball, football or volleyball uniforms nor Purdue in anything but black and gold. |

Believe it or not alt ibis and brand deals are big recruiting tools |

That's a stupid looking bird and I'm not afraid to say it. |
