Would be nice to wear Cardinal in the Fiesta Bowl

[Cyinthenorth]

I get it, the black ones look great and the players love them.

Just listened to CW's pod with Jaimie and the Oregon AD, Jamie says black will be worn Saturday, even though Oregon wanted to wear black. ISU is home team, so they got first dibs.

It's all fine and Dandy, but at what point do your alternates stop being your alternates? Do school colors even matter anymore? Should I throw out all my cardinal/ gold t shirts?

Oregon wears black in honor of their Hawaiian/ pacific islander athletes. Iowa State wears black because Johnny Cash... to summarize a Jamie quote from the pod...

Once or twice a year would be fine. For a bowl game on a national stage, give me the school colors and primary unis

 

[JimDogRock]

I'll use a wildly out of context quote from the late, great Mitch Hedberg.
"I don’t care if they’re black, white, purple or green.’"

If Coach Campbell asks for something as simple as wearing alternate uniforms then, in my opinion, you deliver.

 

[Dopey]

I agree 100%.

But also don’t care that much.

For the players this year who don’t get a typical bowl week with fans,etc.

I love the all black, but also would have liked to see the all cardinal at some point.

 

[CYCLNST8]

The black unis are undefeated in Jack Trice. O-fer away from home.

 

[cstrunk]

I'll back whatever the coach/team wants, but I'd also like to see more Cardinal/Gold in some big games.

 

[chuckd4735]

I want to do what the people who put in the actual work want. Not what the people sitting in the stands want.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I know how trivial this is, but I'm in Eastern Iowa and watch a lot of games with my wife's father, a big Hawkeye fan. It doesn't matter how many times he has seen the black unis, when we watch the game Saturday, the first words out of his mouth will be, "Black?!" I haven't justified him with a response yet, but I might bury his face in a pillow for the entire game if I hear it again.

 

[CyTwins]

The players decided the bowl uniforms. /thread

Normally I'd agree, but we finally get rid of the cheap USC knock offs and have decent uniforms, but all we ever see how is black.

It is not unheard of to get feedback from the fans regarding the color of uniforms. The decision regarding uni colors could be a collaborative one of players, team staff and fans. However, ultimately the team decides and we accept whatever they wear.

Winning football done with integrity. I'll take any color of uniforms along with that statement.

 

[Frak]

I've seen people say they don't care if ISU wears pink if they're winning and they have a point. So, I'm not going to complain. But, if I had a say, I'd reserve the black for one big night game a year. We have a lot of other options.

 

[mynameisjonas]

black Unis trigger the hell out of TOE.

 

[Spanky]

Getting bored with the all black uni's, so many other options that would be great.

 

[CYphyllis]

People whined about not having alternate jerseys, people now whine about using alts too much. They are ******* jerseys - outside of the people actually wearing them, who gives a ****.

 

[Cycsk]

I really like the fact that Oregon wanted to wear black, but can't because we are! Has anyone ever beaten Oregon in a uniform contest?

If you want to beat your drum about wearing the colors go ahead, I just think it has no bearing on anything except fan feelings.

Do it, and record it.
