I miss the white helmet with a tapered stripe. Plus, it makes me wonder if the stripe could be made into a cool skinny tornado of some type, or hinting at it (like the basketball uniforms). Probably not flaring wide like the Ornado. I have no artistic ability.
I liked the white helmet tapered stripe, if you wanted a stripe on the helmet.
I prefer no stripe on white helmet however, atleast with design I'm working. And C/G stripe wouldn't work on w/b/w set. So, less clutter, leave stripe off, looks good. Especially w/ pant stripe (hopefully).
On another design, (other designs), open to helmet stripes yes.

Nice 5234! I like the 2nd Cynado here (bit of white nice touch). Do the same effect on the Trice patch in 3rd pic ( lessen or eliminate the gold). tn
Yep, heard that as well from someone who would definitely know. Don't plan on seeing it on uniforms anytime soon.
Cyclone5234 thanks a lot for doing those pics!! Awesome.
I did this for the heck of it. Don't think I like it, but figured I'd throw it out there anyway....

Interesting. I would hope that he is open to gold (not yellow), or gold option. Our "football" uniform (using Cardinal and present Yellow) just doesn't look good with large swaths of Yellow, i.e., helmet, jersey or pant. Everybody or most everyone knows it.
The current yellow is great for football uni trim, numbers, current I-State mark, other ISU sports teams unis, everything else. Nothing like the scoreboard, I-State logo, signs, field, stationary, etc. needs to change. It can all stay the same. Just ADD accessory gold to existing yellow. Another gold option, different from the Yellow option only, that we have now.
Give Campbell some better gold options (if he doesn't like our Yellow). Add a gold just a little lighter than our '70's gold (for large swaths, helmet, pant; we don't need a gold jersey).. Add also a Stapleton-era gold for trim. Keep current yellow for trim, insignia/marks/other sports teams, everything else. Nothing nees to change there! Add a little more white.
It will come down to Jamie P. being less rigid and open to new ideas when it comes to the football uniform and our school Cardinal and Yellow colors. He has said in the past that he will let a/the football coach determine what kind of uniform he wants, as long as no change is made in the primary colors of our current Cardinal and Gold (Yellow).
Adding black is a huge change. Now add some gold and move on.

Those Jets uniforms tonight are pretty sweet. Kinda gives you an idea what ours might look like with a cardinal helmet (or chrome cardinal), with our black jersey and black pants.
The thing with the Jets though is they do have a bit of green in their black jersey and black pants to tie it together.

But what about just having the Trice Stripes at the front center of the helmets?
Can somebody mock up how that would look?...

I thought I would like this, but I think it looks a little too much like, I don't know, the lamp on a miner's helmet? Rooster comb? Steam locomotive cow catcher? Especially from a distance (a pet peeve of mine -- design should look good from close and far away, in person and on tv -- it's why I loathe the TCU basketball court -- an absolute incoherent mess on TV unless it's a closeup).
I think it might look good on the back of the helmet, though.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the Trice-era mark on the front of helmet. It doesn't look right. Maybe just a bit too large also. Try cutting the height by half, and the width slightly?
The Red one here still wouldn't work on black sets; you'd have to take it off and put a black one on.
If on the helmets (any color, not just white) perhaps a smaller version in the lower back (center?), in black (w/ trace white trim)?
Thx guys! Thx @Cyclone5234!

I messed around with adding a Trice patch (made into a decal) within a back stripe a couple of days ago. I couldn't make it look right. I ended up off-centering it over an American flag. I then put "TRICE" on the back bumper.
I realize it's not on a black helmet — just wanted to share since you all are talking about adding the Trice stripes to a helmet.

Cyclone5234..... yeah, that's not a good look. Can you do our cardinal helmet with our black jersey and black pants, or no?
Haha, I was wondering when you were going to post this! I'd seen it in your Avatar recently. Nice job on the Cynado and the gold helmet!
Not sure where best to put the Trice mark on helmet yet. Good thinking outside the box with Trice on back bumper, although I'd rather have IOWA STATE or CYCLONES there.
Yes, but perhaps smaller - say half that size. And, I still think it would come off looking pretty cool if the Trice Stripes were fairly small on the front of the helmet and than a slight space leading to a strip of the same width all the say back.
Understand how the Trice mark might not look good in back of helmet w/ a helmet stripe (like this gold helmet). Perhaps just settle on an offset sticker like you did here, yes.
On helmets w/o stripes (like our current cardinal, black and white) I'd love to see a black one right in the center above the rear bumper, one just the size you have here, one a bit smaller or shorter. Thx!
Front of black helmet w/ Trice stripes leading into white center stripe.
