You've all seen this image, I bet. Not my design, but bringing it back up. This is the only image that should be put in front of Pollard and Campbell.
It has all the fundamentals to riff on with professional apparel designers:
-True red-hue gold (looks like they are already hinting at that with the all-whites this year)
-Streamlined logo (I-State cardinal stencil)
-Subtle nods to the past, modernized for the future (twister tornado, Trice stripes)
-Stripes minimal and under control (no throwing blocky color stripes on stripes on stripes like Ol'Miss!)
-No USC copy
You can throw in neutrals in blocks (a 1-1 swap of Cardinal or gold with a white, gray, maybe charcoal). These are your base uniforms. Then...let Nike go all Pro-Combat design on any alts after you have the base expectation decided and standard colors set.

If you do wish to contact the AD (Jamie Pollard) and Coach Campbell via e-mail, be brief and include a couple of pics. I know they will not consider random pics of other designs or ideas, so please be specific to this design concept here only, if you like it. They are not soliciting our input, and we have kind of run the spectrum on many different uniform designs, ideas, logos, in the past, and they will not want a re-hash of all that.

I have always liked the Trice stripes. I do also like white accent to any future design, as long as it is done well. You got me thinking...how about this? Tri-color modified Trice (a bit of a stretch, but I like it) stripe,I ******* love the Trice stripes on the shoulders and pants. Absolutely love them.
Which is why we won't get them.
I also love the real gold.

Yes, pants stripe, kind of a tri-color Trice stripe. The shoulder stripe, hummm. Wow, yes!Are you referring to the pants stripe? I kind of like it. Could the shoulder stripe come to a similar point?
Here we go, the following illustrations will probably be my favorites, YMMV. They include the refined tri-color Trice-striped shoulder and pant. I also eased the top edges of the pant stripe 'chevron' tip, to match the shoulder stripes.Are you referring to the pants stripe? I kind of like it. Could the shoulder stripe come to a similar point?
