Uni combo for ttu

[cyhiphopp]

Do you ever get tired of stating the same opinion on this over and over again? And on top of that having most people disagree with you? Has to be tiresome..

To be fair, I asked for his opinion. But I do disagree with it as well.

 

[cyhiphopp]

A few reasons why I don't like them.

1. Grey or anthracite isn't one of ISU's colors
2. With this combo, there are no fewer than 5 colors on a player at any given time (Cardinal, Gold, White, Anthracite, Black undershirts). That is an incredible mess and an eye sore.
3. Anthracite and cardinal do not go together. At all.
4. It's not used anywhere else on the uniform.

I understand they're trying to build hype and generate buzz and get the younger crowd excited. But in my opinion, it looks like a hot mess.

Did you know that white isn't one of our colors either?!?! We wear that every week and even more so for away games!!

White, Gray, and Black are neutral accent colors. They don't have to be one of your official school colors to be used for uniforms.

The gray unis look awesome. Most people under 40 appreciate them and I'm pretty sure the players and recruits all like em.

recruits love the anthracite, but this alumn does not

I acknowledge the unpopular opinion.

All cardinals for home and all whites away baby !

You're really offended by my opinion, aren't you? Just take a deep breath. Everything will be ok.

White is a natural accent color for every single team in the country. It can also be paired with nearly every color without clashing.

Anthracite is not a neutral color and it clashes with Cardinal.

I don't dislike the all Anthracite unis, this weekend's combo is just not great. Also, I'm pretty sure every time ISU has worn Anthracite in some form they've had unfavorable reviews on UniWatch.

Also, I'm not sure if this applies to athletics, but for those thinking there will be black jerseys next year:

Color is one of the most powerful ways a university can identify itself. Used consistently, the colors chosen to represent Iowa State create a strong identifying image. Conversely, some colors and color combinations can be confusing.

Colors associated with other public institutions, such as the one on the eastern side of the state, should not be used. Even though gold is one of Iowa State's primary colors, use of black and gold together should be avoided. Purple is not within any of Iowa State's color palettes and should never be used.

I need that tie now

You realize Cardinal and Gold don't really go with each other either?

 

[kccyclone3]

The gray has got to go.

I actually think these combos for TT look pretty sweett, however, not sure this is the best game for it? TT is red and black, and we're wearing red and anthracite, which isn't much different.

Agreed. This was a game begging for gold or white.

If we have to do the gray, do them against somebody who does not use such a color or so many dark colors. Against WVU would have been perfect for this.

Your opinion doesn't bother me. I've just read the same thing from you about 100 times in the past 2 months about this topic is all. Just can't believe you care that much about a color on a uniform to spew the same thing over and over again. It's like you have a competition with yourself to see if each new post you make about it can get more dislikes than the last. Pretty comical actually, doesn't offend me one bit. Keep the post coming!!

Pretty sure CW gave CMC some money because he new we would ***** and get more clicks.

And TT also has some gray options in their uniform combos, don't they? So they could come out wearing R-G-G.... and we'll be R-W-G.

I'm not a huge fan of the all anthracite unis, but the anthracite pants with white tops absolutely work. The white helmets were better, but I still like these.

I don't know but I imagine these schools at least talk to each other, if not directly coordinate. Maybe we will see white/black/white from Tech on Saturday.

 

[ComCY]

I like all of our pieces individually, but for me I wish they kept at least 2 of the 3 matching.
I like the anthracite on white, but the cardinal helmet kind of throws it off a little in my eyes.

From the https://twitter.com/TTU_EQUIPMENT page it looks like they don't "announce" like ISU until Saturday, but I agree, I assume the equipment people know so you don't both end up with grey pants and red helmets.

Think they should've done white-white-gold or white-gold-white this week. I like the all grey enough; but if just one, I would prefer white-grey-white. I don't care for the grey-pants-only, think it looks dingy. Anyway, if they play well they'll look good!

By that logic, we should never wear white - it's not an ISU color.

But but but white is a neutral color. Guess what? So is gray, and anthracite is the shade of gray we use.

Looks like Tech has worn a lot of white at home this year so far so I'm guessing they'll do more of a B/R/B or a B/R/R combo vs us. I see OKst also wore gray pants, white tops vs them. With their black helmets.
