Football uniforms

[amesclone]

Have been watching all the discussions on the black fb uniforms and have found them interesting, to say the least
I know a lot of you may know but the original colors for Iowa State were silver, black and gold. However they found
it was hard to combine these colors on a uniform so they came up with cardinal and gold. Those original colors were
for the 3 colleges, black for Vet Med, gold for Engineering and Silver for the liberal arts.
And what is unique for Iowa State is that we are, for all the research I've done, the only school that has these as our
school colors, even though some may look the same, for instance Florida State, which is actually garnet and gold.
I don't mind if a few of the home games we wear the black, but to me it would be great if we actually wore
our school colors for the Fiesta Bowl.
I know I'm an old guy and have been watching ISU fb since 1963 but still like the school colors on our uniforms.

So... which school colors do you like? Black, Silver, Gold, Cardinal, Yellow? You've covered all the history of all of the colors and then said you "still like the school colors on our uniforms".

Cardinal and gold for me or the whites, but if Campbell and Co. want the Blacks I'm good with it.

Like JP said, if Matt wants black unis, you give him black unis. This is one area where we can give him what he wants without it costing $. Some people say “give him what he wants” but then get mad when he wants to wear black.

Black, silver and gold not our school colors, cardinal and
gold are, understand?

I miss the old gold

 

[CyTwins]

The black unis are the best unis

 

[CycloneVet]

Black and silver were our original colors? News to me.

I really feel like they’re gonna bust out something new with the black jerseys for the bowl game. Just a feeling.

 

[IASTATE07]

We talk about uniforms way too much.

JP mentioned on one of CF's podcasts that Matt was ok going with cardinal for the bowl, but the players wanted black one last time for the pandemic year. They also mentioned that Oregon was considering black if they had been the home team.

No. You’re a really bad writer. The way you’ve written this is worse yet. You first said the black, silver, and gold were our original school colors. Now here you say either a) that they are not our school colors, or b) that you want “black, silver and gold not our school colors, cardinal and gold...”.

Guessing you weren’t an English major...

ONLY IF HE WANTS WHAT I WANT

I love the sticker for each player's state. Does any other school do that?

Yeah, it's a stroke of genius, imo. It's funny because I look for it now and I've never seen anyone else do it. IIRC, LSU has both the US flag and Louisiana state flag but it's every player. Most others are just the US flag except the Texas schools of course who never miss a chance to rep the Lone Star flag.
