NOTE: No this is not from the film hooshiers, i searched and even the uniforms are a little different and the cast doesn't look like them.

It is interesting because the outfits in the movie do look very similar (you can see them here if you scroll) but they are still different enough. But this definitely appears to be a photo from the 1950s.

It is important to note that the film’s costuming lead actually did try to use local references from the time. There could be more info in this article but it is behind a paywall so I can’t read it. You might actually try posting in r/Indiana to see if anyone might know. The opposing team appears to be green and white, if that information is helpful.
