Wanted to start a fun thread showing off famous people talking or wearing Iowa State. Here is comedian Joe List wearing repping an Iowa State hat on a podcast promoting a movie with Louis CK.

From Pinterest:
Mick Foley wearing an Iowa State Cyclones T-shirt: November 27, 2000 The Hardcore Legend shows why he’s the master of the cheap pop — and one of my all-time favorites. I remember going to a Raw in Ames, Iowa, and seeing Mrs. Foley’s Baby Boy wearing a Cyclones tee. The crowd popped big. Foley wore the shirt for months after that Raw. ...
 
Future Man - (Hilarious comedy show on Hulu) features Iowa State University for the entire 3rd season of the show.

Thread on it:

The farmer's son, "Wayne Frake," played by actor Richard Haymes, from the 1945 version of State Fair -- Rodgers and Hammerstein's first movie musical.

The clip starts at 11:25.

@Kagavi figured rather than than make the jersey, the studio as likely called Iowa State and ordered it. As the movie is in Technicolor, the color is still true. The clip begins at 11:25, and Wayne with the jersey on is pictured on and off through 18:15 -- with larger shots of the jersey inside the house.

Errata: Bing Crosby makes an audio appearance after 13:30. The song Margie Frake, the farmer's daughter, is singing there is a reprise of "It Might As Well Be Spring," which she sang not too long prior to 11:25. It won the Oscar that year for best song.

Also during the time Wayne appears in the sweater (11:25-18:15), Harry the Hawk, Margie's would-be suitor makes an appearance. They don't come right out and say "the Hawk," but come on. :)
 
Davenport College looks like the closest to Ames...

I wonder if Tim Taylor ever wore an ISU shirt. He had a different college shirt on almost every show.
Most were from colleges and universities in Michigan. He would wear them from schools that would send them in.

There’s a guy with a sweet Cy trucker hat at the diner in opening scenes of Children of the Corn
