It's closer to my preferred shade, but I don't love the metallic look. These will always be the standard in my book when it comes to ISU yellow/gold. Specifically, the helmet color.

I think you have to look at the Chiefs and ISU as separate scenarios to a degree. The Chiefs are as big of a brand in America as McDonald's so the brain doesn't look for parallels/comparisons. While I personally don't usually think of McDonald's with our colors, I understand how some could.
Yeah I was thinking, they are mostly red with yellow accents, in fact they use more white than yellow in their uniforms. That's why they don't look like Ronald.
Is this that game where I am supposed to pick out the two that are the same?
I am not following here.
Since the initial 2018 redesign, we actually do have separate white pants for each matching 'top'. We are already "doubling up". Notice in the games where we have went W/B/W, the pants clearly have a separate/distinct color-less logo patch (here). So it actually does not change anything nor affect our combination options if we choose to add stripes. We would still need separate white pants for 2 different scenarios:
A) Cardinal/Gold stripes with colorized logo patch if we wear a Cardinal or White top, and
B) Black/White stripes with b/w logo patch
Not adding stripes to me feels like a cheap out, i.e. maybe it saves us money by having Nike give us the plain-ass white practice pants instead of ones that actually match the top.
I've always wondered what KC would look like if they had an alternate pair of gold/yellow pants.
IDK if that's the case or it's just the lighting.
In some of the pics, the cardinal & gold on the new unis looks like the same shade as previous.
In the Rocco pics, the cardinal seems lighter. So, I'm thinking it's the lighting. Overall I like these new ones
Just curious, did I miss it or was this original tweet still teasing an option we haven't seen yet?
It can be confusing, colors, shades. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe our 'athletic gold' is what is used in our ISU team uniforms. It is the shade of gold many of us just call yellow and is considered too bright by many. Our 'university gold' is a slightly darker, more mellow shade of gold, and is used for marketing, administrative purposes (I'm not really sure where they use it entirely). It is still pretty "yellow" but I like it better than our 'athletic gold', to be honest.
I don't think our 'university gold' is ever used with our team unis. "Ever" might be stretching it, who knows.
Our 'university gold and cardinal' (quite bright, the university cardinal) and our 'athletic gold and cardinal are all part of our "official" sanctioned colors. They are just used differently.
Haha. Interesting.
For some reason, I don't particularly care about the Chiefs uniforms, even though I am a fan. If it ain't broke...
Iowa State uniforms keep me busy enough.
Good question. My guess the missing 4th option there, is the new gold pants (only depicted with the white jersey so far). I suppose it could be the black and white, w/b/w set also?
Only 1 white pant would be needed if we had detachable, Lego-like logo, swoosh and pant stripe. The tech folks need to get on this.
Serious Ames?
I can see us having a gold/yellow pant with the single pant stripe. but please, hard NO Thanks on going back to a brighter cardinal/ cherry red! Wrong direction.
Could you re-do this one with our current cardinal pantone (or, at least last years, if they just changed it)?
With darker colors, this puppy is awesome. However, the Orrnado is facing wrong way for the left side of a helmet.
Yes, the 186 C, and the 142 C Pantones being our 'university' cardinal and gold colors. They are not (usually) found on the ISU athletic uniforms.
For that, they use the other official cardinal and gold, the 'athletic' ones, designated on this page as, "Cyclone Cardinal (Alternate), Pantone 187 C; and "Cyclone Gold", Pantone 123 C
The RGB can sometimes vary slightly, so Pantone # is more accurate. The bottom 2 colors here, are what ISU uses for their Athletic Team Uniforms.
Hate to say it but these look better than our new black unis. I think our black ones are now the weakest of the set.
