Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

[Sigmapolis]

As can be seen in TNF vs. SF.

Liked the outcome of the game.

Loved the Seahawks' blue/silver look.

The Niners all-white 90s look was a big downgrade from their normal 80s gold/red/gold but eh.

We live in a fallen world sometimes.

The Niners got the W, and that's the part that counts. (and they really needed it)

Still a very good team/likely to make the playoffs/Super Bowl contender.

Peeing away the Rams and Arizona game hurt but the talent is obviously there.

If they can get passed the injuries, they can maybe make a run. The team that surprised me this yr is the Vikes.

That would've been an outstanding "uniform matchup" if SF used its trad outfit.

I agree gold pants would have been better, but the Niners were throwing it back to the 90s last night:

I was going down memory lane and rewatching the 2013 WVU and Iowa State game. Just on a uniform perspective I really miss having stripes on the pants.

I’m aware they were going for their 90s look. It’s just a downgrade from their normal 80s look.

Those seahawks throwbacks I think are my favorite jerseys in the NFL. So damn sharp and unique

in retrospect, the matching shoulder and pant stripes of the Rhoads era unis were a clear highlight. Especially on the excellent W/W/W's

Forgive my terrible Microsoft Paint skills but something like this...

Any word on tomorrow's uniforms?...

I'd be surprised if the team went away from C/W/W since it's worked on the road so far.

West Virgina is going all black. So why not wear the Cyclone White Out uniforms from last week? Get two games out of the uniforms.

Who does it better?

Not the Broncos?

 

[t-noah]

black cyclones script is my call

Good call Carnac

 

[t-noah]

Yellow ‘gold’ can work too!

Apologies, forgot where I downloaded this on Twitter (or probably somewhere earlier on this thread!) but HUGE props to the fella or drew these up…
Love these.

That overall package works well, doesn't look dated. One thing I would change, shoulder strips gold-white-gold (white in the center) instead of W-G-W - it more closely matches C-W-C of the helmet & pants striping.

I've been gone for a few weeks! Goes to show what we could do with multiple throwback options. At least we've gotten the scripted CYCLONES. Hopefully that continues of the FB helmet now and again. Very nice Saturday, in black!

And, now to catch up the the BB unis!

Half the NFL has vintage looks that are 10x better than their "modern" versions.

Atlanta Falcons (either their 1960s throwbacks of their 1990s "Dirty Birds" era)
Dallas Cowboys (as I've always thought their 1970s "Dandy Don" look was their best)
Denver Broncos (the classic "Orange Crush" look can't be beat)
Detroit Lions (the new ones are okay but the Sanders era look was their best)
Houston Texans (new ones are a slight downgrade from their original look)
Jacksonville Jaguars (their 1990s throwbacks from this weekend were gorgeous)
Los Angeles Rams (there was absolutely nothing wrong with their classic look)
Miami Dolphins (the 1972 undefeated look should have never gone away)
Minnesota Vikings (the new ones are okay but not as good as the throwbacks)
New England Patriots (either the Brady era look or the gorgeous white-red-white throwbacks)
New Orleans Saints (their new ones are okay but not as good as the originals)
New York Giants (their new ones are neither throwbacks nor an intelligent, modern design)
Seattle Seahawks (their navy look is drab, go back to the blue/green/silver all the time)
Tennessee Titans (went from a unique design to a generic dark blue team, blah)
Washington Commanders (the gold pants help but this was still a downgrade)

Don't forget the Chiefs!

As far as the Bucs... I'll stand on this island alone but I've always preferred their red and pewter look over their creamsicles - which I think is the most overrated look in the history of football. Not to mention it's people embracing one of the most losing identities in the history of pro sports.

Not alone.

 

[t-noah]

The gold pants look great, especially with the red socks - & gold over white numbers is absolutely the superior look

That looks awful.

You really want to look as bad as the Commanders did last weekend? Even worse with ISU’s white numbers.

Not a fan of most of the Commanders' look I've seen so far. Of course, having your big O-Line hogs model the uni will not give the optimal look.
