Now that your child is officially a Hoosier, you’ll need to add some cream and crimson to your wardrobe. Whether you decide to sport a classic “Hoosier Daddy” shirt or purchase a student-designed crew neck, we have you covered on the best places to find your IU swag. Indiana Memorial Union Bookstore Located inside the Indi-
ana Memorial Union, the bookstore is a great place to buy some attire while walking around campus. With its central location in the heart of IU, you can pop in quickly between all the orientations and tours. The bookstore sells every type of clothing: jerseys, sweatshirts, t-shirts, socks and much more. While the merchandise is a little more on the expensive side, the quality is durable, and it’s worth it in the long run. IU Varsity Shop
The IU Varsity Shop is the official store of IU Athletics. There are two locations, one on the corner of Indiana Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue and another inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. They sell a variety of IU sportsthemed apparel, including the iconic candy-striped pants, branded sports gear, tailgate accessories and even home decor. Kirkwood Options The Indiana Shop, located on Third Street and Kirkwood Avenue, has a
wide variety of apparel and merchandise. They have one of the more diverse collections in town, including tote bags and other novelties. Here, you can get intentional with what you buy, as the Indiana Shop carries clothing from specific IU schools. Whether your child is studying game design in the Media School or finance in the Kelley School of Business, the Indiana Shop will have something for you. When dropping your
child off or coming to visit for a weekend, stopping at Tracks is a must. Located on Kirkwood Avenue, Tracks sells classic IU apparel as well as student-designed shirts and sweatshirts. The store is always introducing new designs and bringing back favorites. Greetings is the perfect place to purchase shirts to represent that Hooiser pride. Greetings has all kinds of diverse designs, such as shirts featuring IU football coach Tom Allen’s slogan “Leo” or the famous
Grateful bears.
