Arizona State going back full-time to Sparky on the helmet for home games:
Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
After the Microsoft Co-Pilot stadium debacle, I decided to see what ChatGPT could do with creating a new, modern Iowa State uniform and helmet. I have to say I kinda like it a lot.
Not bad. Definitely has a ChatGPT feel to it. (Maybe that's only because I know that's the source, perhaps I wouldn't think that otherwise).
I would bet we see the helmets get a decal like this as well.
Never understood why they distanced themselves from Sparky in the first place.
Should be easy and cheap to do. I don't expect much more beyond that. We're home aren't we?
I think road if it goes off being K State would have been a road game this year.

Nice, that helps then if we go with an Irish theme. Although it's pretty much a once in a lifetime game I still don't expect we'll spend the extra cash on special unis, so maybe just all whites with a special helmet decal? I'd be cool with that. Although they could probably sell the game used special Irish unis and make their money back.
I’d say you are spot on. All whites with a script Irish Cyclone.
Linking what some have done in the past. Nothing crazy but subtle nods to the Irish culture I wonder if/what K State will do?
ISU's cardinal-with-script gets a mention in this roundup.

Side note: I kinda wish our sleeve striping was closer to Washington's. (UW set in general has a gooood look).

My preference would be Cincy's Nike shoulder stripes. ISU's 5 stripe look is not good at all.ISU's cardinal-with-script gets a mention in this roundup.

I had missed this when posted, it's mentioned in the CBS roundup I posted this morning.
Gloss much better than matte (especially in WVU case). My personal view, others will differ.
Cincy shoulder strips are unobtrusive, solid look. And (gasp!) the pants striping MATCHES it!
ISU's sleeve striping seems like trying a little too hard, or not hard enough.
Yeah it just looks off for some reason. I think because traditional football uniforms have one or two main stripes with accents stripes not 5 stripes all the same size, it just looks off to me.
Agree. Of course there's no mandate everyone has to do everything that's traditional or typical. I think there's a reason some of the more common strip/accent designs have more dependable endurance.
Even "common" striping isn't fool-proof. Iowa Stat had some back in parts of '80s/'90s that maybe weren't as effective. Some of that, yes, is connected with design trends in general.
