==History==

===2000–2004===
[[File:ConsecoFieldhouseLobby.jpg|thumb|left|Lobby of Gainbridge Fieldhouse]]
The Indiana Fever team was founded in 2000 following the WNBA's announcement on June 7, 1999, of four locations, including Indiana, having been granted an expansion franchise to coincide with the opening of [[Gainbridge Fieldhouse]] (then Conseco Fieldhouse).<ref name="sportsbusinessjournal.com"/> Notably, the Fever's launch campaign was accompanied with the slogan "''In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana''," which has become a popular catchphrase regarding the sport's popularity in the state.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2025/06/19/in-49-states-its-just-basketball-but-this-is-indiana-this-woman-says-she-wrote-motto/84040317007/|title=Where did 'In 49 states, it's just basketball' come from? This woman says she wrote it|first=Dana Hunsinger|last=Benbow|website=The Indianapolis Star}}</ref> The league held an [[2000 WNBA expansion draft|expansion draft]] for the Fever, [[Miami Sol]], [[Portland Fire (2000–2002)|Portland Fire]], and [[Seattle Storm]] on December 15, 1999.<ref name=2000fever>{{cite web |title=Fever History: Dec. 15, 1999 |url=https://www.wnba.com/archive/wnba/fever/news/fever_history.html |website=WNBA |date= |access-date=June 24, 2025}}</ref>

In their first two seasons, they were coached by women's basketball legends [[Anne Donovan]] and [[Nell Fortner]]. Led by center [[Kara Wolters]], in their inaugural campaign the team posted a record of 9–23.

The Fever drafted [[Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball|University of Tennessee]] star [[Tamika Catchings]] in the 2001 WNBA Draft. The Fever went into the year with high expectations of a playoff berth, but Catchings [[Anterior cruciate ligament injury|tore]] her [[Anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]] during a college game and missed the entire WNBA season. The Fever posted a 10–22 record in 2001.

After missing the entire 2001 season, the 2002 season proved to be the breakout season for Tamika Catchings and the Fever. Catchings came out strong and became one of the most versatile players in the WNBA, easily winning [[WNBA Rookie of the Year|Rookie of the Year]] honors as well as making the [[WNBA All-Star Game|WNBA All-Star team]]. Her team competed well all year and posted a respectable 16–16 record, tying for the final playoff spot with the [[Orlando Miracle]]. Indiana won the tiebreaker and earned their first playoff appearance in franchise history. They drew the #1 seed in the playoffs, the [[New York Liberty|Liberty]]; with the Fever losing two games to one.

The 2002–2003 offseason brought a lot of change for the Fever. The team added Olympian [[Natalie Williams]] and [[Charlotte Sting]] star [[Kelly Miller (basketball)|Kelly Miller]] before the 2003 season. During the offseason the original coach and GM Nell Fortner resigned. [[Kelly Krauskopf]] replaced Fortner as GM and immediately hired [[Brian Winters]] to be the head coach. On May 29, 2003, the Fever registered their first sellout of 18,345 and defeated the [[Washington Mystics]] on national television. The team did better under the new coaching, but missed the playoffs, posting a 16–18 record.

The 2004 campaign was very similar to 2003's. The Fever finished with a 15–19 record. They missed the playoffs by one game in the Eastern Conference.

===2005–2007===
In 2005, the Fever had their best season since joining the league, posting a 21–13 record, and making the playoffs for just the second time. In the first round, the Fever swept the [[New York Liberty]] two games to none, earning their first playoff series victory in franchise history. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Fever faced the heavily favored [[Connecticut Sun]]. Game 1 came down to the final seconds when [[Katie Douglas (basketball)|Katie Douglas]] hit a crucial three to win the game for the Sun. Game 2 went into overtime, with the Sun winning, thus sweeping the Fever two games to none.

In the 2005–2006 offseason, the Fever acquired All-Star [[Anna DeForge]] from the [[Phoenix Mercury]] in exchange for [[Kelly Miller (basketball)|Kelly Miller]]. Later that offseason the Fever made another All-Star addition by signing free agent [[Tamika Whitmore]] from the [[Los Angeles Sparks]]. In the [[2006 WNBA draft]] they selected athletic swing-forward [[La'Tangela Atkinson]] from the [[North Carolina Tar Heels women's basketball|North Carolina Tar Heels]] along with Kasha Terry from the [[Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's basketball|Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets]].

The Fever started the 2006 season off at 4–0 and jumped out to an early lead in the Eastern Conference standings. Teammates [[Tamika Catchings]] and [[Tully Bevilaqua]] led the league in steals, first and second respectively, the first time teammates led the league in one statistical category. The Fever posted a 21–13 record, making the playoffs for the second year in a row. In the first round, the Fever faced archrival Detroit. Detroit won Game 1 in Indianapolis and held a one-game to nothing lead in the series. Game 2 in [[Detroit]] was a high-scoring affair with Tamika Whitmore scoring a WNBA Playoff record 41 points. Detroit won in the end, 98–83 and won the series two games to none.

Going into the 2006–2007 off-season, the Fever looked to improve their post play. In the [[2007 WNBA Draft#Dispersal Draft|Dispersal Draft]], the Fever added veteran forward [[Sheri Sam]] from the [[Charlotte Sting]]. Kelly Krauskopf and the front office then set their eyes on key Free Agent Center [[Tammy Sutton-Brown]], signing her on March 22, 2007. The Fever also selected 6–7 center [[Alison Bales]] from [[Duke Blue Devils women's basketball|Duke University]] in the [[2007 WNBA draft]] to go along with Sutton-Brown.

Going into the 2007 season, the Fever had their eyes set on the WNBA Finals. They started off the season strong, winning 16 out of their first 20 games, which was the best 20 game start in history of the Eastern Conference. Then on July 20, key player Tamika Catchings injured her foot causing her to miss the rest of the regular season. The injury was later revealed as a partial tear of her [[plantar fascia]]. The Fever finished 5–9 without Catchings. They won the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, beating out the Connecticut Sun. They played the same Sun team in first round of the playoffs. Game 1 in Connecticut was an epic battle, going three overtimes with the Sun hanging on to win Game 1, 93–88. The Fever won Game 2 at home by double digits forcing a decisive Game 3. In game 3, the Fever found themselves down by 22 points late halfway through the 3rd quarter. The Fever battled back to win Game 3 in overtime by the same score as Game 1 93–88. The 22-point comeback was the largest comeback in WNBA Playoff history. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Fever played their other hated rival, the [[Detroit Shock]]. The Fever grabbed an early lead in the series, winning Game 1 at Conseco Fieldhouse. With the team just 1 game away from the [[WNBA Finals]] the Fever traveled to Detroit. In Game 2, the game was close until the 2nd quarter, when the Shock blew the game wide open with a 14–0 run, easily winning the game. With a spot in the Finals up for grabs in Game 3, the Fever started off the game with an early 17–3 lead. Then late in the first half Catchings went down with another injury; she had completely [[Achilles tendon rupture|torn]] her [[Achilles tendon]]. The Shock ended up winning Game 3, 85–61.

===2008===
On October 26, 2007, the Fever announced that they declined the option for head coach [[Brian Winters]], ending his four-year tenure in charge.<ref name="Winters">{{cite web | url = http://www.wnba.com/fever/news/071026_winters.html | title = Fever Declines Option On Winters Contract  | publisher = FeverBasketball.com | date = October 26, 2007 | access-date = February 19, 2008}}</ref> He compiled a 78–58 regular season record with a 5–7 playoff record.

In one of the biggest trades in WNBA history, the Fever traded [[Tamika Whitmore]] and their first-round pick in the [[2008 WNBA draft]] for [[Indianapolis, Indiana|Indianapolis]] native, [[Katie Douglas (basketball)|Katie Douglas]] on February 19, 2008.<ref name="Douglas">{{cite web | url = http://www.wnba.com/fever/news/080219_douglastrade.html | title = Fever Acquires Hometown Star Katie Douglas In Trade With Connecticut  | publisher = FeverBasketball.com | date = February 19, 2008 | access-date = February 19, 2008}}</ref>

The Fever were part of the [[Liberty Outdoor Classic]], which was the first regular-season professional basketball game played outdoors. It was played between the Fever and [[New York Liberty]] at [[Arthur Ashe Stadium]] in [[Flushing, Queens|Flushing, New York]] on July 19, 2008, with the Fever winning the game, 71–55.

During the 2008 season, the Fever struggled in comparison to the three previous seasons. They finished with a 17–17 record, good for fourth place in the playoffs. Meeting the [[Detroit Shock]] in the first round, the Fever lost in three games.

===2009–2012===
[[File:Indiana Fever at White House.png|alt=Barack Obama holding up a jersey, smiling, surrounded by the Indiana Fever|thumb|right|The Indiana Fever in 2013, visiting the [[White House]] upon winning their first WNBA championship.]] 
After a disappointing 2008 season, the Fever were looking to improve in 2009. [[Indiana Pacers]] owners had said the Fever have been losing money.  The only thing to save the Fever from folding in the near future, the owners inferred, was for the Fever to be successful on the court and at the box office. The Fever took the owners' ultimatum to heart and reached the playoffs as the first seed overall in the Eastern Conference with a franchise best record of 22–12. In the first round, the Fever ousted the [[Washington Mystics]] in a sweep, marking their return to the conference finals. In the East finals, again facing their rival [[Detroit Shock]], they reached their first ever [[WNBA Finals]] by defeating the Shock in three games. The Fever then lost in 5 games to the [[Phoenix Mercury]] in the [[WNBA Finals]].

Because of the success in 2009, the Fever announced they would remain in [[Indianapolis]] for 2010. Their 2011 season in Indianapolis was also confirmed as well.

In 2012, the Fever advanced to the 2012 WNBA Finals. Indiana then defeated the [[Minnesota Lynx]], 3 games to 1. It was the Fever's first WNBA title.

===2012–2016===
After the Fever won the 2012 WNBA championship, the ownership group took notice of their management – by promoting general manager Kelly Krauskopf to president of the franchise.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wnba.com/fever/news/kelly_krauskopf_promoted_president.html |title=FEVER: Kelly Krauskopf Promoted to President |publisher=Wnba.com |access-date=March 22, 2013}}</ref> Krauskopf has been giving additional duties within the franchise as well as a pay increase.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/8572656/kelly-krauskopf-promoted-president-indiana-fever |title=Kelly Krauskopf promoted to president of Indiana Fever  |work=ESPN |date=October 30, 2012 |access-date=March 22, 2013}}</ref> The Fever competed for another title in [[2015 WNBA Finals|2015]], reaching the finals for the third time in franchise history, but fell short losing to the Minnesota Lynx in five games. In [[2016 WNBA season|2016]], the Fever made it to the playoffs for the [[List of WNBA franchise post-season streaks#WNBA Playoffs appearance streaks 2|12th consecutive time]] (the current WNBA record for most consecutive playoff appearances by a team).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fever.wnba.com/news/indiana-fever-clinch-playoff-berth|title=Indiana Fever Clinch Playoff Berth!|website=fever.wnba.com}}</ref> However, the Fever were upset in the first round elimination game against the [[Phoenix Mercury]] after the league's new playoff format was in effect. This game also marked the final game of [[Tamika Catchings]]'s playing career; she had been known as the Fever's [[franchise player]] since 2002.

===2016–2023===

On November 18, 2016, the Fever announced [[Pokey Chatman]] as their new head coach.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wnba.com/news/indiana-fever-named-pokey-chatman-head-coach|title=Indiana Fever Named Pokey Chatman As Head Coach - WNBA|website=www.wnba.com}}</ref> In February 2017, they traded for five-time all-star [[Candice Dupree]] along with the Mercury's 2017 first-round pick in a three-team deal that sent [[Camille Little]] and [[Jillian Alleyne]] to the Mercury and the [[Connecticut Sun]] receiving the 8th overall pick in the [[2017 WNBA draft]] along with [[Lynetta Kizer]] from the Fever.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://slamonline.com/archives/mercury-trade-candice-dupree-indiana-three-team-deal/|title=Mercury Trade Candice Dupree to Indiana in Three-Team Deal|first=SLAM|last=Staff|date=February 21, 2017}}</ref> Despite acquiring a veteran all-star forward and a new head coach, the Fever would have one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history.

Disappointment continued for the rebuilding Fever in 2018, as they finished in last place with a 6–28 record. On March 4, 2019, Pacers Sports & Entertainment announced [[Allison Barber]], as the new president and chief operating officer of the Fever, while Catchings was named vice president of Fever Basketball Operations.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Allison Barber Named President and COO of Fever Tamika Catchings Named VP Of Basketball Operations|url=https://fever.wnba.com/news/allison-barber-named-president-and-coo-of-fever-tamkia-catchings-named-vp-of-basketball-operations/ |date=March 4, 2019 |access-date=January 5, 2022 |website=Indiana Fever|language=en}}</ref> They wound up with the third selection in the [[2019 WNBA draft]], selecting [[Teaira McCowan]] from [[Mississippi State Bulldogs women's basketball|Mississippi State]].

On November 27, 2019, [[Marianne Stanley]] was introduced as the head coach of the Indiana Fever, making her the seventh coach in the franchise's 20-year WNBA history.

Near the end of the 2019 season, the Fever announced that they would move their home games to [[Butler Bulldogs|Butler University's]] [[Hinkle Fieldhouse]] for the 2020 and 2021 seasons, plus at least part of the 2022 season, to accommodate renovations of Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The franchise generally struggled in 2022 and 2023, earning the top WNBA draft pick after both seasons. In [[2023 WNBA draft|2023]], the Fever chose [[South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball|South Carolina]]'s [[Aliyah Boston]] with the number one pick; the next season, amidst the increasing popularity of collegiate [[women's basketball]], the Fever chose [[Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball|Iowa]]'s [[Caitlin Clark]] first overall. Drafting Clark led to a surge of interest in the team and the WNBA in general, with TV ratings for the [[2024 WNBA draft]] (at 2.5 million) overshadowing actual games played over the prior 25 seasons.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/wnba/2024/04/16/2024-wnba-draft-caitlin-clark-sets-viewership-record/73346692007/ | title=2024 WNBA draft, headlined by No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark, shatters TV viewership record | website=[[USA Today]] }}</ref>

==Logo and uniforms==
===Logo===
The logo was created in 1999 by designer Todd Radom.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Radom|first1=Tadom |title=Todd Radom designed the Indiana Fever Logo|url=https://x.com/ToddRadom/status/1780020518436934120 |website=Twitter |access-date=27 April 2025 |language=en |date=16 April 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Radom|first1=Tadom |title=Todd Radom - Legacy work Logo|url=https://www.toddradom.com/legacy-work |website=Twitter |access-date=27 April 2025 |language=en}}</ref>

===Uniforms===
*2000–2006: The home jerseys were white with red, dark blue and yellow on the sides. On the front, Fever was written across. The road jersey were dark blue with red and yellow on the sides. Indiana in red letters trimmed with white on the chest.
*2007–2010: Home jerseys are white with blue and yellow strips/trim from the neck down the side. Fever is written in red across the front and on the back the player name is written in all dark blue under the number also in red trimmed in dark blue. The new road jerseys are dark blue with yellow and white trim/strips. Indiana is written on the front in red with white trim and on the back the number is in red with white trim with the player's name underneath in all white. Each jersey has the Fever's alternate logo at the top on the back.
*2011–2012: As part of the move to [[Adidas]]'s Revolution 30 technology, the Fever made subtle changes to the uniforms. Home uniforms remain white, but the 'Fever' wordmark is now written in navy with red and yellow trim. Numbers are now rounded and in red. Away uniforms remain unchanged save for the striping patterns and rounded numbers.
*2013–2015: On October 19, 2012, the Fever announced that [[Finish Line, Inc.|Finish Line]] will be their uniform sponsor, beginning with the [[2013 WNBA season|2013 season]]. The uniform stayed the same aside from a new number scheme and the addition of the uniform sponsor.
*2016: As part of a league-wide initiative for its 20th season, all games featured all-color uniform matchups. Therefore, the Fever unveiled a yellow jersey as a light-colored uniform to complement its standard navy uniform.
*2019: The Fever announced Salesforce as their uniform sponsor, replacing Finish Line. Along with all other WNBA team uniforms, the front of the jersey prominently features both Salesforce and AT&T, a new partner for the WNBA. The number of the player is now just on the back of the jersey.
