I just put up a website that I have been working on for a while that is about past Iowa State uniforms. I figured you guys would appreciate it so here it is.

Cardinal and Gold Threads

I would love for you guys to make any corrections that you find on the site. I only have 20 years up for football but plan on expanding that while eventually adding a basketball section

Go Cyclones!

Cool stuff! Thanks.

More pictures of players actually wearing the uniform combinations you have put up would be nice too.

Cool site, thanks for sharing.

Is there any way to have the clickable years on each page so you don't have to go back to the previous page? I know, I'm a lazy internet surfer...

I will work on making it a little more maneuverable tonight after classes. I'll also*look for some more pictures to compare the models to

Are they high quality? Are they cheap? If you answered no to either question, I don't want anything to do with it.

Me likey. Might I suggest forward and back buttons on either side of the page to let the viewer navigate to the next year's or previous year's uniforms.

Awesome. Especially love the '94 red pants/red jersey/yellow helmet combo. Too bad that uniform is associated with futility. Any chance we could get a forum going there so that us fellow uniform junkies aren't irritating everyone on this site? :cool:

I'm working on doing that right now. I am back ten years and will be caught up to where I am soon. Let me know how this works out.

Once I get the site a little more cleaned up I'll look into adding that aspect to it. I hope to eventually.

I've been a long time lurker here and all the uniform talk gets me excited. What computer program do people use when they make those renderings of "new" uniforms? Is there something I can download to play around with because I think about this stuff often but would love to see some designs come to life.

I use Paint.Net for everything I do with uniforms.

I just wanted to bump this up to let you know I updated the site and it now goes back 30 years.

Neat site! You should email a link to the guy who runs this blog: http://www.uni-watch.com

I guarantee he'll post the link and you could get a lot of interest that way. I saw an article that referenced this blog a few months ago, and I've started checking it every now and then...not because I care about teams' uniforms so much, but because the guy has a pretty interesting perspective on how much large corporations like Adidas and Nike control the visual branding of athletic departments.

Wow. You have an expensive and difficult to fulfil hobby friend. I see some on ebay and a few apparent private collectors, but not those years.

This guy shows one in his collection, but not for sale. I suppose you cann contact him and see if he'll talk.
