Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

I had a 12 hours stretch after losing to the Hawks when our guy ran into the punt returner. That was about the first time and only time I was embarrassed at the bar having State gear on.
I get a little embarrassed during every game thread, but I don't know if that's in line with the spirit of this thread.
I will never be embarrassed to wear a shirt/hat/etc. of my alma matter.
Would you be embarrassed to give your child a ride home after a bad game? Sorry bud, you're walkin'.

Haven't read through all 5 pages but just wanted to say I have more ISU gear than about any other type of clothing and I've worn it proudly since high school and I graduated in late 80's from high school. Would say if they made that statement, they have no clue about the resiliency of Iowa State Fans.
There were times 05-10 I wouldn't see another Iowa State shirt while at Jordan Creek or other malls. Hoiberg era and start of Rhoads era changed that.
I have the Cy leaning on the "I" tatt.... except the letter "I" is bordered with RED, not black. No f**king way was I going to have a tatt with the "I" looking like the Hoks.
This is an example of why older coaches, like Snyder and Knight, learned to loathe the media. Taking crap out of context for no reason other than yellow journalism, to stir the pot.
I didn't read much of this thread because the subject is so disgusting. CMC and his players love ISU. What they meant to say was worded poorly. Good lord.

Maybe this has been mentioned in the thread already, but…
I went to ISU in the early 90’s during a…not so bright period of Cyclone football and I can tell you that walking around campus it was pretty rare to see anyone wearing Iowa State gear. You’d see Notre Dame, Florida State, the U… but definitely not a lot of Cyclone stuff. I haven’t been to Ames in years but I’ve got to believe that it’s a different story today.
That being said, I’m proud to wear my ISU stuff and will happily share with anyone the multitude of reasons they should cheer for the Clones.

I was there in the mid 90s and would frequently joke, "Where's the big pile of ISU shirts they're giving away? Everyone is wearing one..." I was always too cool for the room
I am ashamed to say that I have ISU t-shirts, sweatshirts, warmups, polo shirts, socks, hats, gloves, jackets, and even boxers but I don't have an ISU tie.

Cyclone Fanatic is yellow journalism? Pull yourself together.
Eisworth's exact quote below. I take it to apply more to the football players themselves, and I can see that. If you go 1-10, are you proud to wear ISU football gear and be associated with that team. I mean, broad picture, EVERY player that makes a D1 team is extremely talented and should be proud, but as fans we always want more.
Oooooookay, bud. Take a deep breath. I just don‘t like wearing red or yellow and outside of watching football and basketball and occasionally venting on these forums, college is well in my rear view mirror.
Do you sell ISU gear or something? You seem disproportionately offended lol.
