DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake women's basketball team will celebrate 50 years of Bulldog hoops this weekend as in-state foe Iowa comes to the Knapp Center, but the meeting of those two historic rivals is not the only way Drake is recognizing this women's basketball milestone.
Earlier this week, the team announced the debut of brand-new throwback uniforms. Designed by Doree Ward, a player on Drake's inaugural team in 1974, designed the original threads for the first Bulldog bunch to wear. The colors, piping, and text are all replicated from that initial uniform design.
