Inspired by the bison on Indiana's state seal, IU’s student senate chose a bison to be the Hoosier mascot in October 1965. A live bison was a bit cost-prohibitive, so they opted for a costume instead. Unfortunately, the bison costume was uncomfortable, difficult to see through, and cheerleaders had to lead the mascot around with a rope. Despite the bison’s failed four-year run, IU appeared in the AP poll in three consecutive years in that time (1967-1969), and appeared in the 1968 Rose Bowl.

Love my tee!

This is a supersoft tee and couldn't love the retro design more! Keep them coming Homefield. Thanks for sponsoring Assembly Call - I do wear one for the team!

I feel seen

I am a big dude (5'11", 275), and unfortunately much bigger than when I started purchasing Homefield Apparel products. I bought this shirt in a 2XL in the hopes that it would offer the usual Homefield comfort while still keeping my corporeal form covered. Happy to report that it's good in both length and circumference. It doesn't look like a Big Dog T-shirt and still gives the illusion of being "slim cut" with tapered sleeve cuffs and well-formed shoulders while being roomy throughout and covering my gut. Score one for the Hosscats. In other news, this particular incarnation of Big Red represents much of my feelings through these trying times: ready to fight anyone and anything, but only because I have no idea what is happening around me. Buffalo are complex emotional creatures. Shop Homefield, Go Hoonsier.
