Yeah that helmet and uniform combo is wonderful.
The white pants always looked out of place to me without white accents on the helmet and the white numbers. All the cardinal uniform pieces seem to be in place.
Stripes on the pants would be nice, but the new helmet is a fantastic upgrade. Hated the black chinstraps.
Whatever the boys want, I'm ok with.
But, until we adopt Cardinal and Gold true ISU colors rather than using Red and Yellow, I'll forever be disappointed.

1967 and 1968, I have a distinct and powerful memory of the ISU freshmen traveling to Iowa City to play the UI frosh. I think - but I'm not sure - these two games were the only two meetings of the freshman teams of the two universities.
At the time I was a complete UI fan, beyond redemption. Later, I found the light, thank the gods.
I have this memory, though, watching ISU's frosh (UI won in 1967, ISU won the 1968 game). I recall thinking the Old Gold pants and deep Cardinal stripes and numbers were absolutely cool, better than the UI's black and yellow. Distinct memory that I have to this day.
I have 8mm color film of the 1967 game somewhere. Just now, though, searched for Clay Stapleton photos but did not find photos of his unis. Geesh.
