Inspired by past achievements and the rich history of basketball in the Hoosier State, this Fever Rebel uniform will honor the history that has shaped the Fever franchise.

  • 1972 – U.S. Senator Birch Bayh, representing Indiana, co-authored the landmark legislation of Title IX being signed into law. Senator Bayh later became the Fever’s 5,500th season ticket holder, officially securing the Fever as a WNBA franchise.
  • 1999 – Indianapolis, Indiana was awarded a WNBA expansion franchise to begin play in 2000.
  • 2009 – The Indiana Fever advanced to the first WNBA Finals in franchise history.
  • 2012 – The Fever captured the first WNBA title in franchise history.
  • 2020 – Tamika Catchings became the first player in franchise history to be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The ‘Basketball Chose Me’ label on the uniform’s belt buckle is a nod to the message Catchings shared during her acceptance speech at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2020 Enshrinement Ceremony.

“This uniform concept ties the prideful Indiana basketball history to arguably the most important piece of legislature that paved the way for so many girls and women in sports and education,” Fever President Dr. Allison Barber said. “The Basketball Chose Me messaging from Tamika Catchings etched into this uniform will be worn with immense pride, and equally serve as an impactful display to inspire those girls watching our team every game. The Indiana Fever franchise will always be committed to honoring our rich past, while continuously striving to inspire the next generation.”
