Last year we wore the gold jerseys 3 times. All 3 times I thought they were very good looking. Especially against Kansas when the crowd wore gold as well. However we lost all 3 games and they were all relatively close (****). Should we keep wearing them because they are so good looking or stop because they are a curse?

It's the off-season.

Curses are only real if you play for the Chicago Cubs.

Would love it if they would wear an alternative gray/cardinal/gold uniform. Would be pretty cool!

Gold jerseys look really good. We just need to break the bad streak and wear them early in the schedule.

the gold is awesome. if they would use them for something other than the hardest games early on and get some wins in them, the superstitious people wouldn't have any ammo.

We should have wood grained jerseys so we blend in with hilton's floor.

I think I remember Fred saying they wouldn't wear those gold jerseys again after the Kansas game. It was said jokingly but coaches can be pretty superstitious so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something different this year.

We have only worn the gold jerseys against ranked teams (at the time), correct? We should be superstitious and forfeit against ranked teams because we wont win anyways!
That's the real reason we haven't won while wearing them, let's blame something that is real.

I think the yellow jersey curse goes back for a few years. I love how they look and I loved them in the 90s, but they have been nothing but trouble lately. They need to go.

Golds are awesome. Wear them in a game against a non-con cupcake early next year if you are worried about ISU not winning the last few times that they wore them.

And then we lose that cupcake game, destroy our RPI, and miss the tournament.

Gold Jerseys are to ISU MBB as AIRBHG is to Iowa RB's.

Only half joking.....
