Forgetful Div. II team forced to wear host’s unis
Indiana University of Pennsylvania entered the final week of the regular season ranked No. 2 in the most recent Division II poll. But the Crimson Hawks got it started on the wrong foot.
Or at least in the wrong uniform.
IUP showed up for its game against Edinboro without uniforms.
A school spokesperson told ESPN that one of the team managers simply forgot to bring the uniforms and the team didn’t realize it until it reached Edinboro’s gym. As a result, Edinboro let the Crimson Hawks wear the Fighting Scots’ old road uniforms.
Soooo we’re having our own version of a uniform malfunction tonight and will be sporting Edinboro red uniforms.
So that’s that.
Awkward. IUP forgot to bring their uniforms to tonight’s game in Edinboro. So IUP (pictured) will be wearing Edinboro’s old red unis. Edinboro will be in Edinboro white pic.twitter.com/J0RM2IORdz
The Crimson Hawks had the last laugh, beating the hosts 87-59 to win the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Conference crown for the third straight season.
