I think the WVU all gold uni's look good. Maybe we are on to something.
Eww
These are not exactly our shade of gold but I don't think it would matter.
I also wish we would get white pants because away uniforms white on white are pretty sweet usually. It would be sweet to get something like arkansas's white pants and mix them with our white jerseys, without copying of course and making the pants mesh with the more classic look of our jerseys.
I hate white-on-white for jersey/pants when a team's secondary color is non-white. It relegates the secondary color to meaningless. I suppose if there's enough use of the secondary as "accent," it could work well.
I usually prefer helmets to match pants, home or away, and then it's just a flip-flop of the jersey —*especially if the helmet base is the secondary color. I think our home uniforms are awesome, except for the red helmet. (If it was yellow, "readability/contrast" would still be an issue (that's another post entirely) but those pesky USC comparisons would drop significantly)
Even though our current road-game unis match helmet-to-pants, I think it downplays the gold too much. The original redesign prototypes I saw claimed red pants were the "alternate" for road games —*but has ISU ever worn gold pants on the road in the Rhoads era?
I don't think we have since going to the new Uniform/logos
Rhoads hasn't done yellow pants away, Not since Chizik
I have heard that the Cyclones will be sporting brand new GOLD uniforms this saturday against Kansas. They will be wearing the cardinal helmets along with the gold pants. Has anyone else heard about this and/or what are your thoughts about it?
This is also my favorite combo of the current uniforms. (the gold pants on the road)I still think that combo looks pretty damn sweet.
yellow is yucky
the Dos Equis guy would say "leave yellow for the ladies"
Man, good thing he doesn't have anything better to do. I swear, some people email JP to figure out what they are going to have for dinner.
I was hoping someone could do a work-up so I could see how it would look.
I would be much more in favor of this if the helmets were gold/yellow, too, and then go all out — yellow helmet, jersey & pants.
But a lot of people hate yellow jerseys. I happen to like them (when Oregon does that, among its 5,700 other combos) I think it looks cool. Partly because yellow jerseys aren't common.
If this rumor is true, I'm with the others who said it'd be better to do it vs. Nebraska.
Unless they're trying it as a homecoming gimmick and hoping to test the "jinx factor." If KU upsets ISU, then we'll never see it again. If we win 52-2, it could be a go.
Boy, I hope that smiley meant you were kidding. Those unis could be the ugliest unis ever not associated with Syracuse or Wyoming.They could go back to the cardinal/cardinal look like in the early 2000s.:wink:
