Ironic that we rejected this concept early in the Chizik years...

...but that was basically our look for the game in Norman this year.

A look that is immortalized now given its associations.

I liked the W-W-C, and I said it before, that'd be regardless of association with the upset.

It was even sweeter since OU unveiled all-crimson combo and did a crimson/crream crowd-striping for the game. Pulled out all the stops, probably assuming a major beatdown — then lost.

Sans introduction of a gold helmet this season (still waiting!!), I'd like to see white-cardinal-gold vs. Kansas.

That would look terrible. That combo is the reason we initially rejected the white helmets:

Are the gold pants on witness protection? I’d like to see C-G-C against KU. :)

Again, call me a contrarian, but I actually like this look. I think it makes a pleasing and efficient use of our three colors there -- cardinal, gold, white -- and has just the right amount of white in the jerseys and pants to balance out the bright white of the helmet.

As others have noted, our current I-State logo just looks the best on a white background, which means I think we need to adapt the rest of the look to having white helmets be a pretty constant part of the kit. The road uniforms do that well; now for the home ones.

What you see above is bacially Wyoming's uniform, only with cardinal instead of brown...

...which I have always thought is a pretty good, unique, distinct look.

Doing the white helmet on our current jerseys without the white pants (the Texas Tech look last year) would look very imbalance, but if we had more white elements in our home jerseys, which everybody seems to like the idea of, I think it could go very well.

I thought the logo looked a little more flashy than usual? Was it a 'chrome' decal?

I think the logo sticker they use for the white helmets is different (true gold lettering) than for the cardinal helmets. Just like the "pointy" helmet stripe.

I agree it pops nicely, and liked it better this time without the center stripe - with that the gold clearly clashes with the yellow of the uniforms

(Ex from 2016 vs TexasTech)
