I think don't scrap just redesign them will Cardinal Crome finish, Cardinal matte finish. But agree gold helmets like these need to come back!

I think this is perfect.
"But it features a secondary logo." Yes, but a precedent of secondary logos has been clearly established, i.e. Oklahoma State's use of their 'Pistol Pete' logo.
"But the logo comes from a dark period of ISU football." Who on earth cares? Stop with the histrionics.
The logo is simple but sleek and retro. It features our underutilized nickname clearly and isn't diluted with a bird. If the university had kept with this logo it would have become our Tigerhawk.
I like the simple top but the Jack Trice version is good too. I support moving toward an "old gold." As a side note, if you remove the logo, make the helmet solid chrome gold, and get rid of the stripes on the pants it is very similar to Notre Dame's uniforms; just replacing the blue with cardinal. And coincidentally, that creates a replica of ISU's uniforms from the early 1960's.
The 'swirl' in this pic perfectly shows what our two-tone yellow/gold should be (ignore the grey).I saw this on Twitter.

The key is if we go with a gold we need to not go brown like the 49ers.![]()
I wish we still had these pants.

These uniforms were atrocious
Yea i never liked the top they had. I liked the socks, shoes, and pants. The helmet wasn't that bad, because I'm a fan with numbers on the hemet.These uniforms were atrocious
These uniforms were atrocious
I just didn't like the white numbers. Rest was cool
Why? We are the Iowa State CYCLONES. Why not put a cyclone on a helmet.
At least the colors were correct, our current colors are atrocious! Personally as a designer the Trice throwbacks are our best effort in years since the Chiz throwbacks...CPR was a generic garbage machine for taste in all things fashion related.They were great conceptually, but the final product was just terrible. Plus it didn't help that we found out after the fact that they were not what Jack Trice wore - which was the entire point.

I love those throw backs and the memories of that game. Beating Iowa by only kicking field goals, what a time to be alive.I still say these are the best uniforms we've ever worn. Hell for branding sake we could wear them home and away. Also with the influx of alternate uniforms these days, I wonder if finding a cool throwback will be the new "hip" thing and we could be on top of it.

I'll say that MC really upgraded our alternate uniforms over the last 2-3 years or so....ever since the athletic dept. went with Under Armour.

Didn't read through the entire thread, but have you guys ever gone with all white? Noticed you wore red helmets at our place...thought that combo would look really nice with the white helmets...like we wore at Arkansas
