NCAA Indiana Hoosiers Champions Chick Fil A Peach Bowl College Football Playoff Semifinal January 9 2026 Mercedes Benz Stadium Atlanta Georgia Vintage T-Shirt

The NCAA Indiana Hoosiers Champions Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl College Football Playoff Semifinal vintage t-shirt commemorates one of the most historic moments in Indiana University football history—their triumphant victory on January 9, 2026, at the prestigious Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. This monumental semifinal matchup marked the Hoosiers’ first-ever appearance in the College Football Playoff, a stunning achievement for a program that had long been overshadowed in the Big Ten Conference by traditional powerhouses. Under the leadership of head coach Curt Cignetti, who transformed the program in his inaugural season, Indiana finished the 2025 regular season with an unprecedented 11-1 record, their best in school history, earning them a coveted spot in the four-team playoff format’s final year before the expansion to twelve teams. The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, one of the New Year’s Six bowl games and a CFP semifinal host site, provided the perfect stage at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium—a state-of-the-art venue that opened in 2017 and serves as home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United FC. The 71,000-seat retractable roof stadium in downtown Atlanta has become synonymous with hosting major sporting events, including Super Bowl LIII and the College Football Playoff National Championship. This vintage-style shirt captures the essence of Indiana’s cream and crimson tradition, celebrating quarterback Kurtis Rourke’s exceptional performance throughout the season and a defense that exceeded all expectations. The Hoosiers’ journey to this semifinal represented a complete program resurrection, as they had not won a bowl game since the 1991 Copper Bowl and had endured decades of football futility in Bloomington. This Peach Bowl appearance symbolized not just a single game victory, but the culmination of strategic recruiting, coaching excellence, and the belief that Indiana football could compete at college football’s highest level. For fans and alumni, this championship shirt serves as a tangible reminder of the day Indiana football proved it belonged among the elite, forever changing the narrative of Hoosiers athletics beyond basketball and cementing January 9, 2026, as a date that will live in Indiana sports lore alongside the 1987 NCAA basketball championship.
