I like them the way they are now. I think my next favorite would be all cardinal @ home. And then all white on the road.
I disagree about all-cardinal and all-white. Mainly:
1. I think the current look, both home and away, was patterned closely after the Bruce-era unis, and going all-red/all-white gets away from that, and closer to Mac unis.
2. I think both almost completely diminish secondary school color.
I liked the gold jerseys enough for use once per season. One post suggested using it for Iowa game ... I like and dislike that idea for different reasons:
LIKE: It wouldn't add that extra wrinkle to a "big game" since it would always be vs. Iowa ... I don't want it to become associated with "special games" and then not winning.
DISLIKE: Removes the "surprise" factor.
We finally have a classy home uniform that works. The guy at Uniwatchblog.com gushes about our look. Let's stop messing with the unis. I think we have them right.
(I'm in the minority here, but I hated the gold tops at home.)
I couldn't disagree more. We have absolutely no tradition here whatsoever. Nobody likes that fact, but it's true. And I doubt we ever will.
So... why not be one of those teams that gets to test out all the new Nike stuff? I would love that!
I like the current road unis and home unis. The unis against Missouri were a good change of pace - but it's too much of a ronald mcdonald look for every home game. The throwback unis against Iowa were awesome 3 years ago. Eventually, we need to break away from USC's look; but please don't bring back the all-red unis.
I will say having an actual GOLD color would be cool, but I understand why we didn't.
FYI -- ISU wanted to move to a more "gold" shade with the last change, but Nike talked them out of it due to something with it being a hard color to make shirts, etc. for.
I like the Cardinal tops, then the Gold, and then the white. I would like to see how the white jerseys look with white pants. Just don't like the white tops and cardinal pants combo.
"For the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."
