We have more important things to worry about than the unis......

there's a very horrible joke in there waiting to happen. But I'm pretty sure this isn't that kind of board.
I have to say, I was glad they didn't use the white. I prefer the amount of white doesn't overshadow the gold, since gold is the secondary color. (obviously, road football jerseys need to be white unless we're going to pull an Oreogn) ... but white helmets, white pants, white numbering ... pretty soon, gold is relegated to stripes and trim.
You have, in part, me to blame for that. I did not vote but instead emailed JP on the whole issue and told him part of the reason that I was not voting was the white helmets. He responded that the message had been received loud and clear (by many Cyclones) and that the helmets would not be white.
I guess I don't understand how people can ***** and moan about an accent (or shadow) color of dark blue but can want to replace some of our cardinal and gold with white in a very prominent place.

Once you have white helmets, then it's probably good to have white pants to match (cardinal on the road, maybe) ... eventually we might as well change our colors to cardinal & white.
Even if they did, you would still call them Okie State. Pretty sure their helmets dont say "Okie State" on them....
Stupid. Just because whatever we have on our helmets, doesn't mean we need to call the team that. You don't ever hear Nebraska refer to their team as "N" do you? Or, Missouri fans, say, "Yeah! Go M!"
I remember choosing the I STATE. I really liked the white helmet, esp with white away jerseys/pants.
For all of you thinking that the I State logo has a lack of identity and want to return to the swirling Cy, check out these:

To me, I am so happy to see the IState logo. I was sick and tired of explaining the whole story about how we used to be the redbirds until that infamous football game where we swept a team off the field like tornadoes. If anything, we are the cyclones, and our logo should be a cyclone/tornado. And quite frankly, that is something Iowa is known for. Having Cy at games is fine, and as much as I thought the twisted cy was a cool image, it is totally confusing to anyone outside of the cyclone sports nation. And our switch on the logo was based on marketing analysis of market penetration of our logo, so the old logo wasn't "known." And as sharp as the blue was with the cardinal and old was, it IS NOT one of our colors.
I wear my ISU stuff with the new I State logo here in Wisconsin/Illinois, and people say "Iowa State, right?" When I used to wear the Cy stuff, "is that Illinois State?"

Exactly. How many BCS schools have a cartoon mascot on their helmets? VERY few....Arizona St, Oregon St...those are the only ones I can think of.
