all this talk of 'if this is what it takes to win, i dont care what our jerseys look like' is plain sad. if i were a big time recruit and a coach was trying to win me over by telling me theyd abandon school colors for me, i would question how a school could slap tradition in the face like that. sure it would be awesome to see iowa state win a national championship, but if they won in black uniforms or something ridiculous, i would chalk that up as a missed opportunity. CMC shouldnt have that kind of power, especially this early on. i cant imagine selling a kid on the pride of iowa state and the cardinal & gold, only to have him turn on the tv and see the indecipherably fugly dark grey bush league garbage we pulled last year. if thats the best you can do last-minute to change up our look, whatever. but if CMC is making a conscious decision in advance to move things in this AC/DC direction, thats unfortunate.
this is a really dumb post. First of all, nobody says that to win we need different jerseys. Thats dumb. Youre not a big time recruit and no coach would ever say hey sign with us and we will abandon school colors for you. THat wouldnt make any sense. So that is dumb. The fact that you think winning a national championship in an alt uniform (which wouldnt happen on multiple levels) would be cheapened then you are dumb. If you dont realize that CMC is not single handily out there designing uniforms you are really dumb.
I can understand amestoplease frustration. Give him some time to assimilate what might be happening w/ uniforms, black, etc. He is a fan of ISU, as all of us are, and has spent a lot of his time working on some design ideas, ones that interest him, that he thinks might be good. Then, over the years, we have different uniforms (worse than ideas/concepts he comes up with). This has got to be very irritating.you honestly sound like a middle school girl. stop posting so dramatically ffs. Youre constantly crying about clothing...think about that for a bit.
I for one, have appreciated ames' ideas and work, and interest in ISU. He has passion and does good work. I think he deserves the right to post his opinion and not have it stomped on too harshly. In fact he is not 'constantly' on here posting his his thoughts. Actually when he does enter here, w/ some uniform ideas, it is rather infrequent of late, and timely, as it looks like we might see some real changes.
