The problem with having any gold on the black uniforms (whether that be trim or our traditional logo) some may not like that from a distant or quick glance, seeing black with gold could resemble the Hawks.. I have no issue with throwing in some cardinal and gold, but I know I've seen some people bring up that fact. I personally like the full black with white uniform.. It's an alternate, and should only be used as such (1-2 games per year). I also like the idea of getting a gold helmet and jersey to be able to add to the uniform combination. A W-G-W and a G-W-W look would be clean IMO.

So just add some red to the black uniforms then. Boom!

But then people could say we're Texas Tech.. I really think those are dumb arguments considering it's an alternate uniform and alternate uniforms can and should be fun / different. They should not fully resemble the normal uniforms because they are not normal.

I liked B-B-B far more than I expected to. I've never been a fan of BFBS unis, but here I am liking ours.

My favorite is definitely W-W-W. Next is probably C-W-W.

1. C-W-C (Iowa)
2. W-W-W (Wash St)
3. C-W-W (TCU)
4. W-W-C (Ok St)
5. C-C-C (OU)
6. W-C-W (TT)
7. B-B-B (WV)
8. B-C-C (Baylor)
9. W-C-C (KU)
10. C-C-W (Akron)

Our roads will always be better with white as a primary color. I don't love the black, but I thought the all blacks were fine.

Spot on with your #10. I know it has been beaten to death on the forum (even though the photo of this uniform doesn't look too bad) but the white pants looked bad from the stands....and even worse on TV. Did not coordinate with anything on top. The white helmet was used for TT game, which helped correct that.

I didn't necessarily hate it. It was just the worst of the options.

Setting fashion opinions aside for just a moment, can we all agree how ******* awesome the above sequence of photos is? The Dream bustin' open for a big play as all 3 defenders lie face-first in the turf?

"You got Mossed!" x 3

:cool:

The TT play was one of my favorites of the season. It clinched the game in a moment when previous ISU teams would've made us sweat. And I expected it to happen instead of waiting for a fumble/dropped pass/etc.

I know this is probably far fetched, and I doubt that we get the entire ensemble, but going for this throwback some time this year.

1. C/W/C
2. W/W/W
3. B/B/B

I’d pick C/C/G after that if it were an option.

Interesting take. What if we also had gold helmets, gold jerseys, and gold pants as options?

I think GCG might look the best IMO.

1. I'm a sucker for all whites.

2. Big fan of our C-W-C. It was my favorite away set until we got the white lids.

3. I can't believe that I liked these as much as I did. Thought they were going to look terrible but I was extremely surprised at how it all meshed.

4. The only way our chrome tops can look good, but they sure do look good on this set.

5. I will most likely W-anything-W. Always a clean look.

6. We wear C-C-C enough that I feel like I have to like them.

7. These look good. Just not top 6 good.

8. I like the idea, just wish there was a splash of cardinal somewhere.

9. They're fine.

I'd like for someone to please tell me what is the appeal of the W-W-W combination. No offence, but to me that is the most boring, bland combination and I can't get past the waste of opportunity to have more contrast.
Strangely, I don't have the same issue with the R-R-R or the B-B-B.
Sorry!
