Jack Trice throw backs

[Ry4Cy]

i think everyone on this site will be disappointed if they are not darn near identical to the mock ups

This. The mock ups were amazing.

First, not 1848.

Second, "Cyclone Stadium/Jack Trice Field", not whatever you tried to type.

Third, 2013 - 1984 = 29.

Ugh, those things look awful, especially the socks. Hope it's a one time thing.

I'm guessing we won't have sweater jerseys. I'm thinking that was just a tip of the hand as to what we will have, though they will be modernized and sleek. I think they used the "sweater" ones to convey that it was supposed to be Jack Trice in his original uniform.

Of course, I have no info on this, but that's how I saw it.

Correct. The spirit of Jack pleased with cyclone football, whether you read into it being successful black athletes playing and equal (throwback to his letter) or just ISU in general. Either way, simple, yet powerful. A true teaser

I put this in the commercial thread but figured I can put it here to.

Friend of mine worked on the commercial. Which resulted in the following dialog:
cyguy: did they say anything about the jersey Jack Trice was wearing? Like "the team is wearing something like this for one of the games."
friend: hahahaha MY LIPS ARE SEALED
cyguy: what?!
alright...
friend: i know exactly what you're talkking about
i have intel

Finally, someone is getting to the reality of what the throwback jerseys will look like. This is bound to create some enormous buzz in Cyclone Nation.

Prototypes might be a bit strong of a word. There's been mockups that creative, passionate fans have done...and they've been freaking awesome, I'm not downplaying what's been floating around, but to say they're prototypes:

1, overstates the 'officialness' of them...if we all decided because we liked monkeys, we should have a red arsed monkey on the helmets, someone did a really nice rendering of said helmet and everyone loved it, that doesn't make it a prototype.

2, is unfair because it doesn't necessarily represent what we'll see. As someone else said, even if a Jack Trice era throwback is done, it doesn't mean it'll look anything like what's been thrown around.

I admit "Prototype" was inaccurate in this case -- mock-up is OK -- "template" is possibly better.

I didn't read through the whole thread (made it to page 6), but it's in the new ISU football commercial on Cyclones.tv. With white pants.

That was discussed, and it was mentioned the uniform in the commercial was a wool sweater, essentially the same material used back then, with no numbers visible. It was to essentially match Jack Trice's photos to create the character. If we see throwbacks, it won't be the same as the commercial.

Its already been pointed out that it is an old school wool sweater jersey and leather helmet like was worn when Jack Trice played. The players on the team today will not wear wool sweater jerseys or leather helmets for any games.

*beat me to it*

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

if they come out with wool jerseys and leather helmets, then should we expect the goal post to be in the endzone?

I'm referencing the pics on the first page of this thread.....ugly. Those don't look like sweater jerseys, they look like the material used in today's jerseys in that rendering.

You absolutely wear them for TX if it is actually happening. This is about more than just cool jersey's. Think of the recruiting exposure from the story of Jack Trice. Not only is Trice's story inspiring, but the support he had from the Ames community at that time (when it was rare most places), and still in modern ISU history when it was the student body that demanded the stadium be named after him. Then the fact that it remains the only stadium in college football named for an African American. It's a story that is not even as well known in Iowa as it should be, putting it on a national stage is a no brainer. You don't waste that on a game which is primarily viewed by in state viewers. You want Texas high schoolers watching that story.

That way instead of the national broadcast showing a cornfield a barn and a silo somewhere miles away from Jack Trice they're broadcasting the statue of Jack Trice, or the name on the side of the stadium, or the mural of Jack Trice in the entrance of our brand new state of the art practice facility. And those kids who play HS football in TX don't end the game thinking that ISU is in the middle of a massive corn field with no sign of any sort of civilization.

This. No Brainer.
