Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

So stripes = McDonald's?

I agree that the early McCarney jerseys are severely underrated. Blue accents were understated and the white numbers were classic. Doxson looked like a badass.

(this is based on another concept I saw long ago - wouldn't be my first choice, but I wouldn't be disappointed either... I started with the "tertiary" blue from the 90's, but ended up darkening it quite a bit)

You should be banned for even posting a graphic with blue toilet swirl Cy.

This is honestly so ISU...

Lots of notes online about EA still updating a ton. I would imagine those get updated. I can't think of an EA game that didn't have all correct jersey updates before release

Completely disagree on much of what you have here. Rhoads execution was great. Absolutely nothing McDonald’s about them at all. Colors matched USC, which was great and correct. The latest jerseys we revealed a month ago look very McDonald’s. The white actually makes it MORE McDonald’s, particularly the shoulder stripes on the white road jerseys. Very cringe bright red and bright yellow.

And no, the latest iteration was not “too tight”. There are factually baggier, even the lineman. Go look at Year 1 and how perfectly form-fitting (tight) they were. Since then, lots of bagginess and bunched up parts of the jerseys, on the arms, the back, etc. They don’t “fit” as well, because it was factually a slight tweak in the template.

PS. Who doesn’t freaking love Cardinal and Gold? F***ing fantastic combo, very proud that we have these awesome colors as a Cyclone fan.

I think we can agree the most recent jerseys don't fit right. The shoulders get baggy because the fit on the torso is too tight and it slides up.

In multiple ways these would have transitioned very well to the I State and elimination of blue revamp. Punching Cy on the pants was actually a nice touch. the offset curvy ISU on the chest was kinda bad. A centered logo (like the Purdy era I State) or script Cyclones would have worked well there.

The curvy ISU would just be the Big 12 logo now , and then add the Trice logo on the other side. The font style on the numbers is perfection and would've been great on the new uniforms.

Yuck, those are bad.

I think a lot of colleges must have been tripping balls in the 90s when it came to uniform design. Not only those weird “double M” Gopher jerseys, but remember these awesome Hawkeye duds?

I think those guys needed larger shoulder pads too.

Guessing it'll just be a "throwback" with stripes on the shoulders. Nike must love this trend, put minimal effort into the design side.

The brand name (Apex) belied the designs.

This was actually an Apex jersey, but they replaced the logo after Apex went belly up:

I know the joke is that Nike has about 6 templates all the schools can pick from but these days I think we might be down to 2 templates and in addition schools can either pick stripes on pants or no stripes.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Nike is pathetic...

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Nike must not have as many child sweatshops anymore and cutting budget to make up the difference.

Yeah, and that is a challenge with potential new MBB unis as well. The new Nike ones from last season on other teams looked generic as hell. ISU might as well keep their existing ones if the new options are limited and look bad.
