The team cannot use that old gold color. University marketing has really clamped down on the colors used on all ISU materials after being very lax and after Gene Chizik. Here is the official link to the type of red and gold that can be used https://www.brandmarketing.iastate.edu/brand-elements/color-palette/.
TD did not arrive during the use of this helmet in Crimea area. These helmets were 83-86(red ones just part of 83 season).
guaranteed that the football team can use whatever shade they want.
My dad bought a new 1976 Chevy pickup when I was a kid, color was Moss Gold...it was brown.
Maybe the black helmets are just a dark shade of gold?
Maybe, but what we see in real life compared to the official color palette manifesto doesn't match. The cardinal we see is darker (good thing), the yellow/gold we see is lighter (bad). And there isn't any mention of the black and silver we now have for football, basketball, etc., in the official color palette release. So who knows.
Not so sure. I still think Pollard holds to his stance on not changing the two primary colors, cardinal and gold. He could probably be persuaded by a Caoch like Campbell though to some degree. Obviously there has been additions, namely the black and silver.
What I am suggesting is to keep our present cardinal and our present yellow/gold, but to also ADD a second gold. They could do that easily. If they wanted. I realize it is a longshot with this particular ISU administration. But even while we are using all this black a second gold looks great with the trim.
Change is possible, not probable though I know, when it comes to adding a darker gold. I'm still working on some of the suggestions. When I get done with them I'm not even sure how to approach the administration yet. I'd like to try when the time is right. They can take it or leave it I guess.
Except the university color palette and the athletics color palette are different.
The university uses Pantone 186 and 142 as its "cardinal" and "gold."
Athletics uses 187 and 123 as the primary "cardinal" and "gold" colors.
So do the officials since they called Kolar an ineligible receiver when Seohner was the one covered up who stayed in and blocked.
Thank you @theshadow! Glad you know that and shared. That makes more sense since the university and athletic Pantone colors don't match!
I'll just throw this out here. This is kind of what I envision. Keeping our current gold, adding a second, darker gold for trim (later for gold set if desired). I've got 5 sets done. Here is set 1 (stripe to cardinal pant, stripe to white helmet)..
