I am confident it is the same typeface. It's the Cyclone typeface that has been the standard across the athletics program since the reveal of the I-State logo. You will have seen very small variations within this font family for 12 years on all sorts of jerseys in different sports, signage, marketing materials, etc. and possibly just didn't notice I agree that this particular font 'iteration' of the jersey matches the specific font variation within the Cyclone typeface of the original new-Chizik-I-State-USC-jerseys. And I really like it. I HATED the variant we had prior to last year with the elongated/stretched numbers and the butt-ugly extended shoulder stripes. I will miss the black collar. I think it's mistake getting rid of that. It paired extremely well with the black shoes, socks, helmet, etc. The Baylor home game look last year was a sweet uni combo. Could be the lighting in photos from this week, but these new jersey's look (unfortunately) brighter and less cardinal-y, and I'm not sure we'll see the black shoes/socks look with the cardinal/cardinal/cardinal combo anymore at Home. I HOPE we do, but I could see them going white shoes, which will look like the Seneca era, i.e. attack of the killer tomatoes. Those were brutal.
Here are the numbers from the last 3 seasons as well as the trademarked font used by ISU. It's pretty obvious to me (a professional graphic designer) that they tweaked the numbers for the 2018 season. Look at the angles I've circled plus the gap in the bottom of the 5.
Edit: Just notice the Cyclone Equip twitter appears to have black socks in the photo. Nice. Sorry coach, I still like talking about uniforms
