I'm glad they got it sorted out with Baylor ahead of time, not like Colorado lol. Baylor is everyone's white out game this year apparently lol

I think the basketball uniforms look great, but I also think the excessive amount of red that tamin is wearing might make them look worse to some people

I've had some time to compose my thoughts about the new gold BB uniforms.

I like the concept but don't like the execution.

I like the "Cyclones" script. Definitely an upgrade from the oversized "I-STATE" logo, which I've never liked much. Why switch to an 80s "Cyclones" script but ditch the 80s side logos at the same time?

The generic red piping is definitely a downgrade from something uniquely ISU like that.

The mismatch between the number font (a block "3") and the curvy/swirly "Cyclones" already annoys me. I can tolerate a lot of different design choices but inconsistent ones make my blood boil.

Some good ideas, but I don't think the design elements hold together well.

These are a 1 off jersey. The side/piping will still exist as part do the normal set. They may even keep the existing gold in the rotation.

Having block numbers is very common on script jerseys. It’s not a mismatch; it was done on purpose. It looks great. Enjoy it :)

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Big 12 logo though?
it's small. also i think part of it is because the accent color around the outside of it is the same color as the uniform so it looks even smaller. but it's definitely just smaller. intern probably ordered the wrong size or its a design choice

I hope they bring back the black basketball unis but with the bugle on it. watch this thread burn down.
Those ugly *ss anthracite uniforms are the worst abominations, since the 90s(?) When the A D. Went all in on trying to make dark blue our primary color.:puke:

That's a bummer- that side piping is just brutally bad. We need that 2014-2017 look back

Someone on the UW post made a comment about the new basketball yellows being a good starting point for a baseball uniform. It made me imagine it, and I think it would be a pretty sweet baseball uniform design.

Im joking but we did have actual black basketball unis which were at least better than the anthracite, only wore once last year.
