Our current c/c/c is very bland CyUni 2018  c1 0  28- r r r RedfaceRRB RedSocks.png and doesn't have trace accents of white, black or gold in it to spice it up or make other combos work well.

Adding trace accent colors in helmet, jersey and pant is needed to make our uni design work. I'm not saying what I've done, about to show, is what we should do, only illustrating what I think could be done. A pant stripe also helps bring it all together.

Here are 4 c/c/c pics #'s 1-4, each pic has a slightly different jersey and number. Note also that side jersey number is opposite in color (either white or gold) to main front/back number which I think would look great and would assure not too much gold or too much white, IMO. I am also trying to figure out which jersey I like better and could use some input. #1 CyUni 2021 c1 G7Sh3Pnt5 rbY2 28rybWSde- r r r RdfceBRB G9Sebad31 NewRedFixed.png 2 CyUni 2021 c1 G7Sh3Pnt5 ybW 28wbYSde- r r r RdfceRRB RdSebad31.png 3 CyUni 2021 c1 G7Sh3Pnt5 wbY 28ybWSde- r r r RdfceBRB G9Sebad31.png 4 CyUni 2021 c1 G7Sh3Pnt5 w2bY 28ybWSde- r r r RdfceRRB RdSebad31.png

I'm hoping that we could have two different cardinal jerseys, btw. That would give us the most flexibility. We already have two white pants, so why not?

Here are four different jerseys that I like, #1-4. and see previous post. If you could pick two, which two would you choose?

Our current c/c/c probably looks more like this CyUni 2023  c1 00  28- r r r RedfaceRRB RdScksModCurrentYellowAnd850a05Red.png versus what I depicted above in post #3665. I think I had the red and yellow/gold too dark. Corrected to what I think is closer match. Compare to say my #1 again CyUni 2021 c1 G7Sh3Pnt5 rbY2 28rybWSde- r r r RdfceBRB G9Sebad31 NewRedFixed.png , same red or cardinal, and using '67-'82 gold for pant stripe and accent, and a lighter gold for number and sock.

I think I prefer the original. #1 is okay, but not sure about the gold socks.

Got it and thx for the input! Yeah for me at times I'm looking to get more of our gold color in there, and the socks is an easy option. I can see where some might prefer the all cardinal with red socks.

And we haven't done gold socks with c/c/c yet. Actually I don't think that would look good with the current gold/yellow we are using anyway, too much contrast and too bright. I think we would need the old gold we had to make any of this, what I'm doing, work.

Btw @Psyclone, I like your avatar. Is that an official ISU emblem or did you get it somewhere else? I have not seen any ISU emblems like that w/ black before, that I can recall anyway.

Our all-cardinal isn't might favorite set we have, but since it's a color-rush, I wouldn't tweak it too much. I probably like Option #1 you have here, adding pant striping -- then it has at least a little accenting on the leotard look.

I like the white numeral with gold trim, but if we're going that route, I'd want some white striping on pants & lid, then we're into a completely different combo by that point.

Edit addition: Thanks for doing the mock-ups for them.

Definitely keep that as it is the most similar to what we have now.

I like the white numeral with gold trim, but if we're going that route, I'd want some white striping on pants & lid, then we're into a completely different combo by that point. The cardinal is hard to add white to because of the contrast. Too much of it doesn't look goo IMO. If you look closely, and you probably can't see it because of the small pics, the cardinal pant stripe does have a white stripe in it full length. It is subtle but works. I may change my mind about the cardinal helmet and a stripe there. It gets kind of 'busy' if you put a stripe in the cardinal helmet, and definitely changes the look a great deal. It also makes combo matching more difficult. In my recent mocks I do have a bit of white in the cardinal helmet, either in the black or cardinal helmet stickers. Again subtle but there. Unlike what we have now, nothing there.

Edit addition: Thanks for doing the mock-ups for them. You're welcome. I know some don't really care, but I enjoy seeing what my mind thinks up, and might as well share it.
Comments above. Thx for the input.

Back to our c/c/c. It is bland and needs something. Also two other combos Campbell uses (the b/c/c, and c/c/w) are problematic. They don't look that great as is or match too well.

With just this jersey here, red jersey #1 (I moved shoulder number to top of sh. board and enlarged), I think all 3 combos look pretty good.

And of course this combo w/c/w, which I think most of us like (and we didn't see at all last year), looks great w/ primary red jersey #1 , or an alternate red jersey #4 (if we wanted to have 2 cardinal jerseys).

Every time you post this I will call out Jamie pollard for not automatically making these our primary uniforms. (Honorable mention Cardinal helmet-cardinal Jersey-white pants with stripe and orrnado.

Did you do a version of the gold/cardinal/gold with gold trim around the white numbers?

Cyclone5234, Very nice work! I think you've nailed the '67-'82 gold I'm hoping one day soon we can add/revert back to! I like it.

Of course anytime someone may pull out a gold jersey of any shade, expect both some positive, but more likely more negative response. I think this may be due to the fact we've had this shrill current gold since Criner, almost 38 years. We've forgotten what our old gold looked like and how good it was.
