Adidas pulled out all the stops when the apparel company unveiled new March Madness uniforms for 10 of its sponsored teams — not all of which are actually headed to the NCAA tournament.
For just the second time in 42 years, the state of Indiana failed to send a hoops team to the NCAA tournament, with Indiana University missing out on bids to both the Big Dance and the NIT. Notre Dame also failed to make the cut, but Adidas produced new uniforms for the schools anyway.
Among the other schools that will rock new gear for the postseason are the defending national champion Louisville Cardinals, the Kansas Jayhawks and the Michigan Wolverines. The Baylor Bears aren’t allowed to wear their new March Madness uniforms, though, after the NCAA ruled the team couldn’t have the words “Sic ‘Em” on the front of their jerseys. The team instead will wear its regular-season uniforms during the postseason, according to ESPN.
