I hope they do. The band is my family's favorite part of the fb games.

The CYCLONES side only is a good bet for this fall, from what current members are thinking. New overlays would be a great surprise, as long as the new cardinal goes with the red pants. That being said, the red drums won't clash with the red pants. And there's nothing we can do about the swoosh on the back. I think completely new uniforms are probably a few years down the road.

I was just at the UBS today and bought my Nike jersey. Love it. Of course, I forgot to have my new Cyclone Club card on me to save my 15% which would have saved me $9 on the jersey if my math is correct.

That's the reason I like UBS is for the discount, same with the other Ames stores. Scheel's is a last resort for me.

I really doubt that there are any changes coming to the band uniforms in the foreseeable future. Multiple reasons:

1) The uniforms aren't 14 years old; not exactly. Every year, the band buys a handful of new uniforms to replace old ones. Uniforms are constantly being cycled out and replaced; it's much more manageable financially than buying an entire new set every time the old ones wear out. So even though the same design (like it or not) has been around ever since the whirlybird was introduced in the 90's, most of the individual uniforms are only a few years old.

2) The 'bird in a blender' logos are still acceptable to use, just not as primary marks. While the ISU whirlybird on the front of the overlay isn't the ideal logo, it still makes sense to use on gameday. It's a much more modern look than the 'Cyclones' sash on the other side. My prediction is that we will continue to use the overlays as normal for the coming season. Same explanation for the 'ISU' swoosh on the jacket backs. We're still the Cyclones, and still ISU. It might not be the most up-to-date logo, but I doubt it is a big enough change to warrant all new uniforms.

3) The Department of Music is essentially broke. The university keeps cutting funding (and cutting and cutting and cutting) because the state is doing the same thing to the university. Unless a private donor, the Alumni Band, or Kappa Kappa Psi / Tau Beta Sigma come forward with a huge donation, it's going to be a long time before the band can even afford new uniforms. New overlays are a possibility, maybe. Even when new uniforms do come, it will probably be jackets only- the pants we currently use are already a darker shade that can pass for cardinal. They'll probably skip on new pants and save that for a future purchase so that they can concentrate on getting new overlays and/or jackets.

4) As for the drumline drums, that's a moot point. The wooden shells on the drums we use don't come in a 'cardinal' shade, and the lacquered synthetic shells that are available in that color are second-tier material that would degrade the drums' sound below that of the wooden shells we have. We've used the drums for three years already and there's certainly no problem with color clashes, but that's a secondary consideration anyway.

There is some pretty cool stuff at the stadium in Ankeny, including some truly awesome polos that you get 15% off of for being in the cyclone club. Also, their 15% off discount applies to Under Armor stuff as well.
