Why the different cardinal colors for ISU teams?

[cybsball20]

I'd say at the point where ISU says we will wear nothing but Nike, ISU receives money, and our teams become walking Nike ad spots then ISU is the vendor. ISU offers the product of advertising.

Follow the money and it tells you who the customer is...

Nike ---> $$$$---> ISU

Seems like there might have been better choices than ISU Track for optimizing their ad dollars...

Why isn't anyone asking the important question, why track intead of basketball?

Because Bill Bergan was a shrewd businessman way back in the day.

I can't believe that JP allowed this to happen. (keep in mind he wanted the football team to wear white helmets) He states that in the interim we have to accept this. I wonder how long the interim is. Having all of these different shades of cardinal makes us look like a second rate athletic dept that gets our uniforms at a close out sale. Not a very good way to improve ISU's image.

At an ISU Foundation reception prior to the game last night - there must have been 15 different shades of red/maroon in the room, all on apparel with the the I-State logo. I was almost ready to take a group picture.
