I like the black uniforms, but I feel like we are overdoing it. To me, they are a one game a season kind of thing.

As someone who is incredibly superstitious (I.e. I blame myself for not finding the right clothing combo for the basketball games ;)), you have to ride the black uniforms until we lose.

Yep - I, for one, will be doing my part by wearing the same shirt I've worn for the past 3 football games (it's a football specific shirt, so don't worry - no bad BBall juju).

Its 2020, Iowa State is finally doing what other schools have been doing for years.

Also, it’s black. Do you hate when teams wear white jerseys too?

This is dumb. Teams are required to wear contrasting jersey colors. Almost always that means one wears a team color and the other wears white. That's the convention ... home team in colors, visiting team in white. Saying black jerseys are "just the same as white ones, what's your problem?" is a poor argument.

I'll say I haven't been a fan of the black uniforms, I'd prefer team colors (and no, saying black was an Iowa State color a hundred years ago doesn't make it one now) but ... it doesn't really bother me that much or affect my life at all. If the players like them, and if they think they play better in them, then good for them.

Let's just win.

Really like the black unis...a lot better than mustard and ketchup circa 1980s thru 90s.

No. I don't hate traditional away white jerseys. I don't hate the black ones either, just would rather see Iowa State wear Iowa State colors. I'm weird I guess.

Do you really want the announcer to say "they've never lost in the black uniforms" ???
Should go with red just for that reason alone.

CMC likes black. CMC said the players had substantial input in these unis.

Keep him and them happy.

I'm not normally superstitious, but today is my last day of work for the week as I took the next 2 days off. Wore my black ISU polo, with black pants, and a black face mask in hopes that I would have a good day at work. Got all my work completed and have glanced at CF more than normal. I’m trusting this process.
