New Uniforms Revealed

[t-noah]

IIRC, we darkened our fire-truck red (had this roughly from '83 Criner, to 2007 ?) to our current shade of cardinal in 2008 with Chizik. I don't know if we went back to our old cardinal or not, but I thought that was a good move.

Why, at that same time in 2008, we did not also revert back to our historical '67-'82 gold I'll never know. Why should we have to keep something, pay for something that Criner and his cronies did (when he changed our gold) for so long?

Here is a photoshop pic officially released in 2008, regarding the uniform change at that time. I'm pretty sure that I would not be debating shades of gold or doing what I am now (to this extent) on uniforms, if we had just adopted this cardinal and gold. It's pretty close to perfect, but not what we got.

It's better than the W/G/W, but still don't love that much gold.

I've been wondering what a B-C-W uniform might look like?

Try it with the numbers on the C uniform being white.

Something similar to this....

I was there. #18-Wayne Stanley, #53-Mike Bliss, #40-Phil Danowski, #57-???? You have no idea how much fun it was to watch football there. I was GREAT!. BTW, we lost this game to Oklahoma. Fun anyway.

Best uni combo IMO and it's not close. Love the 70's gold and the GCG combo

What a glorious look this is. Would be perfect with the stencil I-State logo replace the Bruce "I"

Hard to believe MC an JP don’t like or evidently don’t want these uniform colors

SOP for equipment staffs. They'll swap a lot with opponents, or if they have personal contacts at other schools.

Iirc a lot of the equipment staff have brought helmets from previous jobs and I think some are from trading with other equipment staffs at events and games.

I was very hesitant to put this combo together, but I said what the heck. I actually kind of like it. I have to say it is no worse than the present c/c/w we've been using.

I just wish we had gold as an option. Then we could do something like this and I would feel better about it.
