Iowa State hoping to unveil new uniforms in 'next month or so'

They will not have gold anything touching black. Those are colors out east. If gold is inside red than cool.
FWIW I love those black on white
I wouldn't mind the use of black and white (or silver), with red highlights.... but no gold please. Black with white is fine, black with red is fine, any black with any gold is NOT fine.
It's even written into the University Marketing Brand Standards:

I agree, but it does say "should be avoided", so that doesn't exactly say it can't be done. I bet CMC gets what CMC wants.
I know for a fact that CMC has been wearing black baseball caps with the ISU logo on it with both cardinal and gold included. So we've already broken that rule MANY times already.
However, usually CMC is wearing clothes with black and silver or white, but no cardinal or gold.
The red and gold POPS on black. It makes out colors seem even bolder. Some of you worry too much.
And yet I have a black Nike sweatshirt and a black New Era hat where gold touches black. Avoided /= not allowed.
At this point I think ISU fans should all be prepared to see just about anything with the new uniforms. If you aren't open to about anything, you will likely be disappointed.
We are going to see black for sure it seems. We might see silver too. We might see white. We might see black with some yellow. We might see gold helmets. We might see black helmets. And yes, we might see the bugle again if JP has any say in the matter.
One thing I think for sure will happen is that when we unveil the new uniforms, we aren't going to see everything. Some surprises will be held back to unveil for certain games possibly. So for instance, when we unveil the new unis, if they are only cardinal and gold combos, you can be sure that there are black ones too somewhere that they will surprise everyone with at some point.
I don't want us looking like Texas Tech either. I'd rather see at least a bit of both cardinal and gold in anything we do.

Among other atrocities, my god, that numeral design -- I can't even ...
