Would like to see Cardinal & Gold for homecoming, but I guess wearing ISU colors is a thing of the past
New Uniforms Revealed
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Gold-cardinal-gold for homecoming would be ideal, if we had that combination. We could hope for a secret-surprise unveiling of it. (I don't expect such a thing).
Thanks for posting the example, saved me from looking it up.
Too "Tech"-ish for my taste.
I don't understand the infatuation with having gold helmets.
Gold is a school color.
The Cyclones did wear gold helmets for most years in the history of the program. For most folks, gold helmets make more sense than black or white.
Now, I like the black helmets and I like the white helmets. If the Cyclones keep winning games, I don't really care what color is worn.
Golden yellow helmets in general are ugly. There's a reason you don't see too many teams wear them.
Yeah, it’d sure suck to be unique. Green Bay & LSU dont seem to mind...
You want to wear something ugly to be unique? Bold strategy. There's also a reason there isn't much golden yellow apparel sold at stores for Iowa State.
I think I have more gold apparel than cardinal. I love our gold.
Does someone have a version of this gold helmet (w/ standard logo):
With the cardinal facemask from the stencil-logo version?
I couldn't find one w/ a brief search (on CF or online) -- I would like to see it. (just helmet-only -- not as part of a full combo).

A gallon of paint would probably paint all of the helmets more then once. I'm guessing it's got a flat black base coat. I would be shocked if its not a tricoat process though.
Probably some kind of intermolecular force active with that paint. Like a car's paint so it sucks to the surface of the helmet, much like it would metal. Otherwise that stuff would flake off in no time. Even the pre-catalyzed epoxy paint we use for bathrooms and metal doors comes off easy.
Not Clones related but OK State going with the Barry Sanders era jersey Saturday:
See that's a great look. Classic. Clean.
Flashy trends always end up looking cheesy in 10-20 years.
This should be their base uniform. Looks fantastic (though maybe too "Texas-esque" for that).
See, I actually like what OSU currently has - it's generally a clean uniform with a small amount of flash in the collar and the sleeve with a wide barbed wire stripe.
Although these Barry Sanders unis are classic.
