IU Hawks fan
They call me IU
I'm sure some you have seen rumors that every team this year will have a jersey in what they're calling a 'reverse retro' theme, IE a throwback with colors swapped. 2 examples that have leaked:
I was thinking about what a Hawks one could be. Obviously, there's not a ton of options given the uniform has changed so little in the last 60 years. But here are a few ideas:
1) 50s crest on a black jersey
I liked seeing them bring back this old crest for the Winter Classic. I think if they re-did the original black jersey with this logo it would sell like hotcakes.

2) 1948-55 white jersey in black
The Hawks don't have much history with shoulder yokes, so this would be very different from anything they've worn in recent years. I think this one would look really sharp in black with white piping.
3) 1926-34 style jersey in red
Nothing says 'Reverse Retro' than going all the way back to before red was added as a color and making it red. This would be pretty gaudy, but one way to embrace the weirdness of this dumb idea.
