BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana men's basketball program will wear "Honoring Black Excellence" symbolic uniforms when it hosts Maryland on Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
The jerseys are part of adidas' Honoring Black Excellence (HBE) initiative, celebrating the achievements of Black individuals and Black culture as a whole. HBE pays homage and recognizes individuals who are positively impacting others' lives within and around their communities.
The special uniform HBE uniforms being worn against the Terrapins come on the heels of the replica 1987 NCAA Championship season design that the Hoosiers wore in January, and the Cream uniform that Coach Mike Woodson's team wore earlier this month.
