ooof

hey at least we stopped that like 50 years before most of the SEC!

I am curious how Iowa State handled that back in the day. Was it a concerted effort to keep black students from playing sports until Jack Trice or was it just that we didn't have any black student athletes? I am hoping the latter but probably a bit of both
I think he was talking about the uniforms being all white, not that we’d only play white guys.

Yeah, and I think we should play red guys and yellow guys too!
Edit: ...and maybe some black guys on occcasion.

No to all white uniforms. Never win when we wear them.

WWC was what we were wearing when we beat them on 2018. Works for me, although I think WWW is our best look and CWC a close 2nd.

I wouldn’t mind doing more silver than all the white we use. But I also seem to be a rare one that actually want us to use one of our primary colors in gold.

I'm not sure we can. Supposedly, the 49ers bought the uniforms from us and we can't use them again. Or so the legend goes on here. I'll let @67CY explain it.
When I used can’t, I just meant I don’t think someone at ISU doesn’t like the 49er look. I had no idea that the 49s bought the uniforms

I'm sorry I thought that's what you were leading to. I don't believe the 49ers thing. It's been a few posters repeating it over the years.

I believe it's just an urban legend. From what I've heard, the ISU uniforms during the early 60's were the inspiration for a redesign of the 49ers uniforms, but that was the extent of it.

I never heard "bought". They inquired about the color and used it.
