We've seen helmet images with the Trice Stripes as the bumper above the facemask, rather than the I-State logo, right? I wonder if this will change depending on which helmets? I was thinking I saw the Trice Stripes as the bumper on the black helmets...

I usually pick it up at the state fair
I have to ask. I rarely go to the State Fair, but I may this year. So…where do I find the posters?

I’m guessing the answer is “Varied Industries Building”, but I’m hoping for something a bit more specific. I’m visually impaired, and sometimes it’s hard for me to pick things out (shopping is a real bear when I’m by myself).

North east corner of varied industries building is the Iowa State booth.

Yep. Its in that building. ISU usually has a big booth, but I don't think they are always in the same spot. There might be a map but Im not sure.

This made my day!

Just seems like something will have to break next year, in terms of either the buyout or re-alignment. I can't see OuT (OU and Texas) hanging around for 3 more years of opposing Big 12 fan literal hatred.

It wouldn't surprise me if these helmet bumpers were interchangeable. I'm sure they could be, but will they be?

They could put the Trice-stripe bumper on the front for one game, two, or three. Then replace with I-State bumper for a game or two.

If they are stuck on decals, I doubt they would do that often. If they are some kind of pop-on/pop-off 'lego' type bumpers, yeah interchange them whenever you want.

The ISU booth, but try calling the athletic department and see if they would mail one to you.

They’re actually 3D softish plastic decals. I believe most MLB helmets have the same type of decals now.

My guess is that they wouldn't be interchanged very often then, if at all.

Unless the players game helmets are also their practice helmets, which I think they are? Then I'd guess everybodies helmets (starters and subs) get a new "shine", cleaning and re-fit before every game.

I still don't think the stickers or bumpers would need to get replaced each game (most of them anyway). Just guessing though, no idea how they do it really.

Perhaps a former/current uniform tech for the athletic dept. or football team could chime in on how much prep each helmet needs weekly, before each game?
Edit: Do new "I-State" helmet decals need to be put on each week also, when they clean and buff the helmets?

Simple solution. Put the I-State bumper on the front…for the games when they put the Trice stripes on the sides of the helmet.

Haha. Dream on my friend.

I like the way your mind works though.
Edit: Makes perfect sense to me. :)

There is a website from which you can normally order. Posters are free but you pay $10 in shipping I believe. Just Google Iowa State football poster order or something along those lines. They were not there yet when I looked this morning.

Yeah I've been checking every week. Still nothing.
