Understood. No problem, thx for your reply.General comment- was not directed at your mock ups. Sorry for confusion
Survey to rank the 2016 uniform combinations
- Thread starter Sigmapolis
- Start date
#1 all white
#2 all grey
#3 all red
#4 - #12 who... meh
The mix and match grey was bad because the red and white tops didn't have any gray to coordinate them properly. We're just bad at this uniform game. But I give a solid B+ on the new white helmets, the new gray unis, and the red facemasks. Nice job, good effort.

Totally agree. And I'm surprised -- I generally don't like non-school-colors. I especially disliked the mixed with gray pants.. It seriously looked like they all wore their ugly-but-comfy dark gray sweatpants or warmups.

call me whatever name, but I couldn't see the numbers well on the gray tops from my seats. I liked the OU and UNI uniforms, but the metallic ISTATE on the white was bad ass too.
I would love this to be split into 2 surveys -- home and away. (Or with/without white.)
I really liked that they added different colored facemasks to tie the combinations together. No idea why they haven't done that before now, as it seems like a fairly inexpensive thing. I have no problem trying any of the combinations for a game. Now order one new set of helmets and work on the decals (another inexpensive addition).
Does it matter than you can't see the red numbers on the grey uniforms? It does to me. The first time we wore them, the stadium announcer didn't seem to call very many of our players by name, presumably because he (or his spotter) couldn't see the numbers.
I'm not a big fan of the grey at all, but if they are going to use it, they need to solve the visibility of the numbers.
The results are in!
Thank you all for voting. We eventually had N = 254 responses.
I am going to do three things here now...
1. report the overall rankings and votes
2. post some analysis of the voting data trends
3. share the raw data, if anybody else wants to analyze it
Without further ado...

(I created the average scores by inverting the rankings, dividing by 12 then multiplying by 10, and then normalizing so the average score was a 5.)
#1: ISU @ Iowa, w.w.w, average score = 7.73 / 10
#2: SJSU @ ISU, c.gr.gr, average score = 6.00 / 10
#3: TTU @ ISU, w.c.w, average score = 5.77
#4: OU @ ISU, c.c.c., average score = 5.15
#5: ISU @ TCU, c.w.c, average score = 5.11
#6: ISU @ KU, c.w.w, average score = 4.80
#7: ISU @ OSU, w.w.gr, average score = 4.72
#8(t): UNI @ ISU, c.c.g, average score = 4.51
#8(t): ISU @ UT, c.w.g, average score = 4.51
#10: WVU @ ISU, c.c.g, average score = 4.47
#11: KSU @ ISU, c.gr.c, average score = 3.88
#12: Baylor @ ISU, c.c.gr, average score = 3.33
And here is a summary chart of the twelve combinations above that might be easier to read...
Seems you have some tiers here...
Tier S = Iowa
Tier A = San José State, Texas Tech
Tier B = Oklahoma, Texas Christian
Tier C = Kansas, Oklahoma State
Tier D = Northern Iowa, Texas, West Virginia
Tier F = Kansas State, Baylor
***
Home v. Away
1. Away = 5.37
2. Home = 4.73
Helmets
1. White = 6.07
2. Cardinal = 4.64
Jerseys
1. White = 5.37
2. Gray = 4.94
3. Cardinal = 4.65
Pants
1. White = 6.10

Traditional v. New Age*
1. New Age = 5.23
2. Traditional = 4.68
*defining "traditional" as combinations worn during the Rhoads era, save for all-cardinal "ketchup bottles," given that mono-chromatic look is more modern (and ugly)
Some general, editorial observations about this project...
•man, you all *really* like that all-white "storm trooper" look from the Iowa game, despite the obvious debacle that was the actual football product on the field for ISU
•you all really like white elements, particularly, the pants, and seem not to like gold at all
•the c.w.c "classic" look from the Rhoads era, the uniform from the countless turnovers game with Nebraska, for instance, did not do nearly as well as I would have hoped
•the gray elements are very hit-or-miss... the "all-gray" look from the SJSU game came in #2, but most of the other ones with gray uniform parts was on the bottom-third of the voting
•seems you all enjoy it as its own thing, though not so much mixed with cardinal and gold
•I would still like to see cardinal/white/gray at some point, however
•sadly no gold jerseys this year, though I did actually like those with cardinal pants, and we all seem to review the basketball teams rather highly when they go gold
•the fan base seems rather down on traditional looks and combos
•seems the consensus here would be to use more white, give us a *few* traditional games per year, and, if you are going to use the gray, use it with white or its own self, not cardinal/gold

Really nice job on this survey, nicely illustrated. Great job! Good to get a pulse of what people think.
I'll add this here, the w/y/w using this design. It would be nice to break this out next year, could be either Home or Away, but I'd love to see it at Home.
. Glad we went w/ the w/r/w though.
Baylor jerseys were EXTREMELY underappreciated. Must have been a bunch of old farts that voted.
I'm probably in the minority, but I really wish we could get a good gold uniform. Think about how many teams wear gold quite a bit: Minnesota, GT, NDSU? It could really set us a part in the Big12 and nation if we had good ones.
I'll be the first to admit that gold uniforms are so easy to mess up vs make look good. That's my big fear of them.
If anyone is watching the Army-Navy game, the gold on Navy's helmets should be the gold we use. The pants are a little bright, but that's a look we could do very well.
