    these colors are even more intense than mcdonalds. i mean baylor went neon several years ago so i'm sure iowa state is about ready to dip their toes in that trend, given that it's well gone by now. what gave me the idea was this shirt i recently found. in the sunlight it legitimately glows...

    i say we go to the opposite extreme...make mcdonalds colors look dark by comparison.

    i felt the same, actually, which is why i removed the helmet stripe, the pant stripe, and the stripe on the collar. there actually isn't a whole lot going on here. because of the pose of the athlete in this particular mock i think seeing the trice stripes on the shoulder right next to the...

    my guess is that they're just following the trends. that logo from the mccarney era is all over apparel on campus. seems like the more 90s, the better for these kids. if you look at the crowd shots during games you'll see an unsettling amount of kids wearing shirts with that gross wreath...

    i realize the chiefs have similar pants to this, but just like the conversation about the sleeve stripes i think that erring on the side of a more classic look will mean some unavoidable overlap with other teams. 'is that our cardinal?' is a tough thing to answer. our pantone colors are not...

    i agree...it will be impossible to look distinct/unique if you limit yourself to regular horizontal sleeve stripes. if we want to be different with the sleeves we need to throw the trice stripes on there or improve upon our current 'tornadic' sleeve design or something.

    i think it looks fine to have white stripes on the outsides with only 3 layers (like on the chiefs red unis), but with 5 stripes and beyond it gets awkward looking...unless you mix in the contrast of the cardinal jersey, in this case.
