It doesn’t matter they are using red, those like freaking stupid everyone in the world will make fun of them Saturday.
TCU's new uniforms
- Thread starter Sirkruser
- Start date
From the main uni thread yesterday:
I'll be honest, I like them! but I think just because it is a nostalgia thing - it reminds me of being a middle-schooler in the mid-90s when everything 'new and cool' from windbreakers to "Trapper Keepers" to expansion sports franchises was teal/turquoise, purple, red, and black...It is terribly "dated" now but has warm associations for me.
Plus it seems like the 90s are coming back, at least in a "forced you are supposed to find this cool" marketing way...

KSUs School Color is solely, Royal Purple. Can you please explain the use of Silver and White?
Funny, I was just looking through that. Upsetting you cannot use a green Wildcat head logo
TCU has had black and purple helmets with Red in them in the past. No idea why, but this seems to be a goto color for some reason when they try to spice it up.
The red makes sense when tied to the frog's defense mechanism of shooting blood.

But unlike some schools, it would be legit for K-State to wear all blacks.Funny, I was just looking through that. Upsetting you cannot use a green Wildcat head logo
They look good! The players want something different. TCU always looks sharp. Now it just looks like they got out of the Glow Run.
Yeah, Iowa State could declare that they have 4 or 5 official colors but what would be the point?
Well, that's pretty rhetorical. What's the point of school colors?
If it is rhetorical, why are you answering?
What's the point of 4 or 5 school colors?
I have heard alternately that KSU only has one school color or they have 4 or 5. I was under the impression that they had one official school color but had 4 or 5 acceptable colors for representing their logos, etc. since it is pretty much impossible to do everything in one color.
You seem somewhat cranky today. K-State has one school color: royal purple. It may be used with black, white, and a couple shades of gray/silver.

Or perhaps TCU secured a yet-to-be-announced shoe sponsorship with Brooks? Or maybe my wife is a closet Horned Frog fan...
Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant when you said: "The irony here is deep." and "But unlike some schools, it would be legit for K-State to wear all blacks."
It is so Surly to take shots at posters or their school on their board and then classify the responses you get as "cranky".
If black is not a K State school color then it is no more legit for K State to wear all blacks than it is for any other school. I swear you are as bad as some of the hawk trolls on here sometimes.
Black is an approved color to be used with royal purple at K-State. I have no clue if ISU's policy includes black and white as officially approved school colors.
If you have no clue then why the irony comment and the comment about it being legit for K State to do it "unlike some schools" on an ISU board?
If you don't know, shut your trap.
The "shooting blood" element helps understand why red is incorporated, but purple & red is a challenging combo to do effectively, from visual standpoint. This looks like trying too hard to be out-there.
