Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
So who is going to make the spreadsheet of how many different combos we have and how many of them will we never see again after we lose one game in that combo.
Well yeah that's what I mean, the swirl thing. I kinda liked it, made sense cuz cyclones and stuff but maybe doesnt work well with this uniform which seems to be a throwback with straight lines and 90 deg angles. Nothing on this uniform says Iowa State Cyclones to me (besides the literal 'Iowa State' on the front
)
To add - once again - the beveled I-State on the helmet looks so freaking stupid. And in general. Why, why, why did graphic designers INSIST that was such a ****ing important concept back in the 00’s!?
Fair.Well yeah that's what I mean, the swirl thing.

To each his own. I thought it looked really stupid.
I’m probably in the minority but I love addition of Iowa state on the front and the numbers on the shoulders but why in the world is the name on the back of red jersey white?
I think it's an example of some "over engineering" something that is meant to be simple, recognizable, and timeless.
Wait... are these gonna be our uniforms in the new NCAA Football Video Game coming out in a couple months?
If so, how did we keep that secret?

Is that helmet photo shopped? Don't be getting my hopes up like that...
CYCLONES on the front would look cool. Since there is already an I STATE on the helmet.Well yeah that's what I mean, the swirl thing.

Photoshopped from a concept man cave helmet, yes. Pant stripes from an old Dexter Green photo, colorized to match. Just having some fun.
We can start working on the next change now.
Yeah, I thought no stripes in the pants (white pant for sure, possibly the cardinal pant as well (and the gold), was a strong possibility. The black pants do not need a stripe! That is for certain, I think.
But they were limited in what they could do, with the selection of the 5 stripe (white predominant) shoulder stripe. With that pick, Stripes were a little more busy and hard to figure. So they went no pant helmet stripes, again.
The no stripe (pant and shoulder) has a certain value. It's a cleaner, more basic look. Check that box anyway. The maintenance on the helmets are easier. I would have liked to have seen a stripe in the helmet or pant.
Next time!
It's truly amazing at the number of whiners on CF.
Now that you've mentioned it. We demand a change. Next year! LOLWhar blue highlights and dog bone collars?
Pants look more yellow than gold and cardinal looks more red to me. Hope they will look better in person.
Whoever is in charge of ISU's uniform designs needs to be sacked. Why is it so difficult?
Give me a couple of alternative logos on the helmets (don’t do it every game) and I will be very content
Agree. And I don't think will ever be a school that has one long-standing classic design. Our mold has been set.
Still think our best looking uniform is the all whites with white helmet.
