Combo will look better w/o the black collar. Its probably our weakest combo. This is a perfect game to wear it. I am just ready to see football players on a football field on a Saturday.
Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Probably our weakest combo, but it did grow on me as the year went on. Bring out C/C/C in a couple of weeks.
By the looks of the video, we did not show the front of the helmet, which sort of leads me to believe we're going to rock a white face mask. Just speculating, but I think it'd look pretty good without the black collar.
HInt: Look at the three stacked circles at the beginning of the tweet (just before #ProveIt): Top one is red (cardinal helmet), middle one is red (cardinal jersey), and hard to see bottom one is white (white pants).
You're welcome.
The real question this week, will the band have new unis? I'm guessing yes.
Wait what? They just got new ones a few years ago.
I remember wearing the same ones from the 90s when I was in band.
Think a simple red stripe on the pants could go a long way blending these a little better.
At least we are getting maybe our worst look out of the way against a 1-AA team.
Yeah, no. This is a good solid look suitable for the first game of the season, regardless of opponent. School colors up top, with white below reflecting the warm weather.
Classic appeal. Get the crowd fired up with Iowa State pride.
Nope.
There is no white in the helmet or jersey and no cardinal or gold on the pants to tie them together. These look like mismatches from different sets, which indeed they are.
The individual elements might be fine here, but they just do not work together.
Say what you want about the Rhoads-era uniforms, but they mixed and matched well between different combinations. The current set is much weaker in that regard.
I'm probably in the minority but I'm not a big fan of the ALL-cardinal look. I like this get-up better and like was mentioned I think it will be better this year without the black collar on the jersey.
Newsletter excerpt:
The whirlybird set (white over red) lasted from '96 until 2010, IIRC, with the all-red debuting in 2011.
Newsflash for you. White is neutral. They don’t have to be tied together. Do you know nothing about fashion whatsoever?
Saying an entire uniform element is “neutral” or, synonymously, “bland,” doesn’t say much good about that element, does it?
Oh **** yeah, boyz, we’re back! Let’s do this ****! Get hard! SATURDAY IS FOR THE BOYZZZZZ!!!!
