Penn State getting publicity for Sandusky was bad publicity. Anyone outside of Iowa talking about ISU's jersey is good publicity. And "laughed at nationally" is incredible hyperbole, lighten up francis.

If our uniforms didn't look like Ronald McDonald the clown I'd agree with you. But they look JUST like Ronald McDonald the clown. Look at the comments sections of national articles about this. We are being mocked. Asking if we're going to roll out Grimace and Hamburglar as honorary mascots.

Not all publicity is good publicity. We are being laughed at nationally for this.

And this is different from the usual publicity we receive how?

If there was NOT a red helmet, this would be a non-issue. Guaranteed.

The players voted for this - and that's enough for me to like them too.

How about we throw on the throwback helmets from '07 with this uni...we're closer to all gold then at least.

#1 you put way too much into internet comments, show me an internet comment section where someone isn't getting mocked and it'll be the first

#2 Grimace and Hamburglar as honorary mascots would be awesome

2 things-
1) I have word from the inside that the picture tweeted has everything a little brighter than the unis in person and they are, in fact, a little darker (almost gold) color and not the bright yellow
2) For those that want new helmets, you don't need to actually buy new helmets to get a new look. There is a company down in Texas (with Iowa connections) That makes helmet-sized stickers that I know several schools have used when it comes to alternate helmets. Its really not that big of deal the way I understand it to do that. Just takes some time.

I know others have said this, but we should have the hamburgler as an honorary mascot and then put him in a ref uniform

Yes, but for reasons entirely unrelated to the point you're trying to make.

Chuckd .... you hit it out of the park in this thread.

I remember the first game wearing yellow on yellow... against Mizzo (for the youngsters bawling about the uniforms, that is Missouri, they used to be in the big12).

Damn it was cold that night, and I thought the jerseys looked great under the lights. I'm exCYted to see what they look like during the day.

-keep

That was not yellow on yellow it was yellow tops with the cardinal pants and that was truly terrible. The yellow on yellow looks better than that by a mile.
