Might be possible with a few sponsors footing the bill. Everyone would see the names of those sponsors on the back of a shirt in front of them. Put an ISU logo on the front.

That being said, oversized for some is different for others. An oversized shirt for me is quite different than my wife or kids.

But usually they only do these things for the student section.
You're overthinking just a little here

Do you think the conference pushed for teams to get new uniforms as part of the “new big 12”?

I don’t see many teams outside of the Big 12 getting new uniforms and there have been 6 this year plus OSU and Cincy last year off the top of my head. Seems intentional.

Minnesota did as well. They look like all the other new ones.

JFC, are Nike and Adidas sourcing their uniforms from the same sweat shop? Outside of Tech getting a pant stripe these look identical to ours.
There goes my theory that all the new Nike unis look the same because Nike is using cheaper factory. I was expecting adidas to do better.
I get that retro is in right now but it's already old. Pun intended.

Traditional/retro/vintage is in. It's not laziness. It's just the trend currently. If some team came out with some cartoonish new jerseys, they would get roasted and rightfully so.

Unfortunately for ISU, I felt like we got the short end of the stick on the font size of the "Iowa State" and most importantly, the numbers.

ISU Fans have never been great at or cared enough for the color games.

White out has never been a thing, we have never pushed section striping, and Cardinal or Gold games have always been pretty poorly participated in.

I dont know what it is, I have a few guesses, but our fans just dont do good at it. I mean 95% of cyclone fans have Cardinal gear, then probably 50% have Gold gear. Maybe 30% have black gear, but may have other black outerwear that they can or will wear. I would guess less than 20% have white gear or white outerwear. I actually dont know if I know anyone with a white coat let alone a white ISU coat.

My guess is only about 50% will actually wear the proper color on the proper day. White out might be cool but JT wont look anywhere close to PSU because their just wont be enough participation.
our fans can't even clap to a simple beat in unison. Do we really think they can coordinate on colors? :D

The fanbase has actually done a pretty commendable job with the color themed games at Hilton. White Out games, in particular, have looked great.

ISU uni 2024 Cropped.jpg
"Average' color sampling of the cardinal jersey here, is RGB 213, 4, 13, which is pretty bright. [It's even brighter than our "university' cardinal, which is RGB 200, 16, 46, and we don't use that on our uniforms.]

Have they accepted a brighter cardinal (mistake) from Nike? Or is this just a 'lighting' issue again?

Contrast the above image with the cardinal (which we have had) in the 2018 release.

Will be just another shade that are players and fans wear. Add it to the several others that already exist.

I'm hoping it's a lighting issue. However, that is easily fixed if you want to edit a photo. Or the folks that release these pics don't notice them. I find that hard to believe though.

If the cardinal in our new unis winds up being brighter than before, by mistake, or if intentional, I will have questions as to "why", either way. If 'a mistake', this should not happen. It would not happen to almost any other school. We let it happen, or we keep changing shades.

I find it hard to believe that JP has intentionally changed our cardinal shade, when he has repeatedly said he was not going to do so.

If the shade has changed again, it would be interesting to know why and who made the decision. Does Nike decide and give us the left overs?

With these 4 pics of our players, there is a slight lighting difference. I selected my average sample (Beau Fryler's Rt shoulder) from the darkest one, Fryler's. Even so, it is way brighter than what we've had recently.

They look lighter to me but then I see a picture from Connor’s recent article with a picture from the Liberty Bowl and those also look lighter than they normally do. Lights and surroundings can alter things. Eh it is what is.
