I could be wrong but I think our only loss when wearing any combination of black is the big 12 champ game against OU.
I'm not glad we lost that game but trying to plan the game colors based on prior won/loss record is sort of stupid IMO

Same. I was bummed when we didn't wear this combo last year..on a side note, when we wore them vs TCU 2 seasons ago, we freaking worked them that game.

We wore B/B/W for the Baylor game, that would've been the closest combo

Didn’t we just wear that vs. Baylor last year? Maybe vs. TCU a couple years ago?

That’s about it I think. Pretty sure we won both.
OK so we'll see these a lot more if we win? I just think the superstition of wearing unis we win in is sort of childish.

The equip twitter tossing out the tweet with the Trice stripe shirts makes me think the logo on the helmet may be coming sneaky soon... No better time than this weekend.
Sneaky but I wouldn't mind.

I just don't think the ISU staff really thinks about this stuff much.

I'm glad we aren't doing all black in 94 degree heat.... so this will at least be a slight improvement over that. I do love this combo... better than the all blacks IMO.

What is going to suck though IMO is that the only colors we will see on the field on Saturday are black and yellow.... and a little white. It's going to look like an Iowa football scrimmage is going on. Puke.

The other thing that will suck is that the Iowa fans will be wearing their black and yellow gear as always.... but a LOT of ISU fans will also wear their black ISU gear since they know the football team will be wearing black.... so I fear that the vast majority of the stadium will be black and yellow.... with some red mixed in too of course.... but it will almost look like the game is being played at Kinnick instead of Ames.

I encourage ISU fans to only wear red to this game..... maybe then most of the stadium will still be red??

I'll never forget the time Iowa played Wisky in Kinnick, and they made it a "patriot day" and told Iowa fans to wear their patriotic colors.... so at least half the stadium had red on.... and it looked like a home game for Wisky.... and of course they beat Iowa.

The ISU staff has universally accepted the trice stripes as their alternate logo. Assistant coach said as much in an interview.

Why is black even a choice for the players.

Really? This has been gone over a thousand times.

Most teams across the country are coming out with some kind of black alternate uniforms because the players love them.
And if you have them... why not let the players decide what they want to wear to some extent?

Do that many isu fans have black gear?
