"Since its inception in 2015, the Victor E. Bash (Ball) has become the premiere annual fundraising event for Huskie Athletics," said NIU Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier. "Last year, we pivoted to a virtual event, and thanks to the generosity of our fans and supporters, were able to continue the momentum built during our live events. As we emerge from the pandemic, we hope fans will once again join us in this virtual space until we welcome them back to our live events this fall. As we know, COVID-19 has provided us with many challenges, and the success of this year's Victor E. Bash can provide a tremendous springboard into 2021-22 and brighter days ahead."
In addition to the online auction – now in its fifth year – more than 300 of NIU's football jerseys worn by the Huskies between 2014-2019 are for sale through a "Buy Now" option this year. Don't wait to log in to get the number and style you want, with the option to add a personalized nameplate and frame for an additional fee.
Preview the items NOW (CLICK HERE). The auction and jersey sale will go live for bidding and buying at 10 a.m. (CT) Thursday, in advance of Thursday night's YouTube premiere of the 2021 Victors Student-Athlete Awards Show at 7 p.m. The auction will close on Friday, June 11 at 7:30 p.m., following the Victor E. Bash Wrap-Up and Thank You Show on YouTube.
Four different sets of NIU Huskies game jerseys, worn by the Huskies during many of the team's most recent landmark victories, are available to "Buy Now" as part of the Victor E. Bash Online Auction and Jersey Sale in 2021. Most numbers of the following jerseys are available:
Black "NIU"Jerseys (2014-18)
These good-looking "blackout" jerseys were a staple of the NIU home ensemble for several years. Who could forget Max Scharping hauling in a two-point conversion pass in the Huskies' comeback win over Ohio on Homecoming in 2018 in this jersey?
White "NIU" Jerseys/Black Numbers (2014-16)
First worn on September 6, 2014 in NIU's 23-15 win at Northwestern, the Huskies donned these road whites again in the 2014 MAC Championship game, a dominating 51-17 win over Bowling Green.
White "NIU" Jerseys/Red Numbers and Shoulder Stripes (2017-18)
Fans probably remember these road white jerseys worn by NIU in its historic 2017 win at Nebraska, in the victory at BYU in 2018, and of course, in the come-from-behind victory over Buffalo in the 2018 MAC Championship game.
Red "NIU" Jerseys (2014-19)
These traditional red jerseys have stood the test of time, whether worn with white, black or even red pants at home, in bowl games and at the 2015 MAC Championship game.
In addition to owning an official game-worn football jersey(s), this year's online auction offers the option to purchase a nameplate and/or frame for that jersey(s). Both items will be added to the jersey(s) prior to shipping and arrives at your door ready to display. After selecting your chosen jersey(s), be sure to add the nameplate and/or framing to your total.
Check out all the items, including gear from several NIU sports teams, signed balls and jerseys from Huskies in the pros, golf outings to local courses and additional autographed pieces.
In all, there will be four nights of programming on the NIU Athletics YouTube Channel during the 2021 Virtual Victor E. Bash beginning with the 2021 Victors (June 3). On Monday, June 7, tune in at 7 p.m. for a Watch Party featuring NIU Basketball's 1999 win over Wisconsin in Chick Evans Fieldhouse. Hear from Huskie greats T.J. Lux and Leon Rodgers, as well as Voice of the Huskies Bill Baker, as they provide commentary on what it was like to take on the Badgers, a team that went on to play in the Final Four at the end of the season, in a crazy atmosphere in Chick Evans.
On Wednesday, June 9 at 6 p.m. (CT), hear from all 16 NIU head coaches during the 2021 Virtual Huskie Summer Circuit. Bill Baker hosts this event as coaches talk about getting through one of the strangest years in sports history and get you ready for 2021-22. Interact with the coaches live by subscribing to the NIU Athletics YouTube Channel and registering to participate in the chat.
Then, prior to Friday's wrap-up show, get those fingers ready to click as the popular Virtual Wine and Spirits Pull is back after a wildly successful debut in 2020. For $40 each, purchase a "mystery" bottle of liquor or wine that could be worth more than $100. Last year's 50-plus bottles sold out in less than five minutes so don't be late to this one.
