I remember the one time we wore yellow jerseys vs Missouri a couple years back. Didn't like the look. If we change things up, I want a "wow" factor, not just a little thing. I do think our white/white road uni with a white helmet alone could be cool.

The white helmet rises from the ashes...

Any color other than Cardinal and Gold (or white as an accent of course): BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I hate this black/gray fad. The sooner it goes away the better. Let EIU wear that funeral garb. It suits them.

Besides we already tried an alternate color: blue. Good riddance.


That being said, I'd love to see the uniforms mixed up a bit: white, yellow or metallic chrome helmet. That'd be killer. I also think the gold jerseys would have looked better with gold pants. See WVU or Cal.

I don't think ISU will allow the black. It does look kinda cool though.

Colors associated with other public institutions in the state should not be used. Even though gold is one of Iowa State's primary colors, use of black and gold together should be avoided. Purple is not within any of Iowa State's color palettes and should never be used. Visual Identity System

I'd rather have us continue to be confused with USC than Iowa.



Yes. I would love to get on the field with them for a bowl game. Finally, we wouldn't have to do the doubletake during highlights.

Yeah, those are awesome! Also, let's add some blue into our logo! That would look pretty awesome, right?! Cardinal, gold and blue?! That sounds absolutely perfect! Let's get right on that! Send it to Pollard!!!!


Seriously, our colors are cardinal and gold. Add white for away game colors and don't add any other stupid colors into it. I bleed cardinal and gold, not cardinal, gold blue, charcoal, purple, black, orange and pink. Jesus, just because a couple of schools with their own identity problems do it doesn't mean everyone should. It works with Oregon because it's their "thing". Every other school that does it is just stupid.

I am involved with some clubs on campus and the licensing department won't allow us to have black apparel that has yellow/gold text on it. With that, I don't think we will ever have black uniforms, but I think some combination of gray would awesome. Also, I would like to see a helmet like Oregon has. View attachment 16814
We could have it be all cardinal with two different shades/luster or the base color could be gold and the design cardinal. I think this logo without the iowa state would be sweet View attachment 16815


Take this exact helmet but instead of the duck wing, do a cyclone swirl.

All I gotta say is I wish my wife gave this ol' man's privates as much attention as you young fellas give the uniforms. I'd be a happy man.

Ol' married guys...amirite?

How does everyone feel about white/white/white?? I think it would be kinda sweet

I did like them until..... UCLA wore W/W/W last year and lost to USC 50-0... They will forever be know by fans of both teams as the Surrender Uniforms.

I also want the helmet stripes, but let’s assume that doesn’t happen.


Your other four possibiities (along with the standard current combos) offers at least 7 viable options:


*Cardinal helmet-cardinal jersey-gold pants (standard home)
*Cardinal-white-white (standard current road)
*Cardinal-white-cardinal (alt-road/return to standard road)
*Gold-cardinal-gold (alt-home)
*Gold-gold-gold (alt-home)
*White-white-white (alt road)
*Gold-white-gold (alt-road)


Personally I would stop there (no all-red, no white helmets or white pants other than all white, for a few examples).

I’d be surprised to get even one alternate helmet, let alone two — even sticking with a single hat, we have multiple possibilities within our current design and color set to keep things “interesting” with no redesign or the need to stray into gray/black.

I'd love to see the Gold-gold-gold as the debut of the gold helmet. It'd need to be for a "Gold Rules" game or whatever they call it. No one really seems to take that seriously, but I think it would be incredibly awesome if they promoted it this way - and it could be really successful. Everyone should get a free gold towel at that game too. I'm sure you would still have the attention whores in the student section with their horses heads, neon costumes, etc. but it would be mostly gold.

Thursday night next October on ESPN against Texas?

I know it's not popular on here, but I miss the red on red. Bring it back with gold numbers and the new logo!

Beatle the best thing I like about your concepts are the punching Cy on the hip of the pants...I believe the basketball shorts from the mid 90's had the one with the blue in it. I also prefer the stripe pattern on our current home jerseys, but the outlining of white definitely would make it look better with a white helmet.

There is only one uniform that should be used, and it should be full time.
