Roll out the Walden Era throwbacks, but use actual Cardinal and Gold....not whatever those things were
I've wanted new uniforms since these ones came out. They're cool, but too much like USC's. I want a modern look like Tampa Bay, Seattle, or Oregon. Not sure what tradition we'd be ruining. Our uniforms and logo have changed roughly 300 times.
Am I the only one who hated those uniforms? The white numbers & losing to the haks ruined everything for me.
Hmmm, maybe not as close as I remembered. But maybe its the lighting in those photos because on tv the 49er helmets look more gold than that photo (which makes them look almost a light tan), and in the old Bruce era clips the gold on the uni's looks a lot more gold than yellow.
It's interesting how the same uniform can result in polar opposite reactions. It shows just how tough making those decisions is for the AD.Those Jack Trice unis are hideous. They were fine for 1 game, but don't want to see those again.
Yes please..We know CPR is a traditional guy, one wonders how much different of a direction they will go in? Just a new helmet please please please
I agree our helmets suck and are pretty lame...Dave Hoppmann wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of these pieces of headgear.....
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. ISU used to have absolutely classic uniforms back in the day. Build from them. Cardinal and gold - think Niners.

Lol yeah, the lighting
Can you stop with this "we can't use 49ers colors because they bought the color scheme" bull**** already? The 49ers have been using that red and gold since their inception in the 1940s. ISU used and stopped using that color scheme in the 1960s. ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I mean, because no team has EVER used similar color schemes.haha. Well you actually hit the answer to our mustard gold color. The reason we can't ever go back to a true gold shade is because long ago the San Fransico 49ers purchased the rights to ISUs gold color scheme. Just do some searching on it. Way back when. Hence the reason for our switch to the Ronald McDonald yellow. wts, I totally agree with others that CPR needs to change things up and get with the times and what draws recruits interest they want to look cool. That was one of the first things Briles did at Baylor.
Absolutely agree with this. Conceptually those unis were stunning. The version used on the field, however, were quite terrible.Not to mention it was proven sometime last year that the "Jack Trice concept" was wrong - it was not a cardinal jersey with gold stripes, but a bright yellow jersey with gray stripes.As cool as the concept was, the whole thing became a dumpster fire (including the play on the field) and I would just prefer the idea be left in the past.Am I the only one who hated those uniforms? The white numbers & losing to the haks ruined everything for me. We should've used them against Texas so the whole nation would be exposed to the Jack Trice story. No one outside of Iowa cares about the Cyhak game.
Please. I don't care how tough the guy was, if ISU was paying his tuition he would wear whatever he was told to wear on the field.I agree our helmets suck and are pretty lame...Dave Hoppmann wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of these pieces of headgear.....
