Yep, I've been with you on the sunflower gold. The 49ers gold is not Iowa State imo. It would be a complete rebrand if we did that, whereas the less harsh sunflower gold (compared to current) is still close enough to what we have that it wouldn't be starting from scratch.Ok. This is why I like CF. It has corrected me in the past. I do listen.
I was probably like you a month or two ago (and could be again), my favorite darker gold was our '70's sunflower gold. Is that what you would prefer? Anyway, since then, I have gravitated to a slightly darker, more 'tan' gold. Probably due to the commemorative Trice uni this year. It is indeed closer to the 49er gold, which some keep calling for. Some would have a conniption if we did this.
I will post an image, next, of our cardinal and gold, the 49er red and gold, and some 'proposed' golds. I think that would help me/us figure it out, compromise maybe? I will do this before I do any more image mocks.
I like the white numbers but would prefer a gold outline against the cardinal jersey.
