New Uniforms Revealed

Our athletic department seems to be all in on very little white on home uniforms and that bright ass yellow. Some of the softball uniforms are hideous, but I almost respect them for leaning into it. I'll give them this also, softball does a good job of throwing in a lot of variations, which is easier in softball than football or basketball. The jerseys in that tweet are decent because the gold on top is minimal, whereas our football jerseys have the massive yellow numbers. I'm hoping we get an updated number font this season that slims them down closer to what they were originally.

I guess what I'm really saying ad nauseum in this thread is I really dislike our yellow.


Yeah ketchup and mustard doesn't work for us. The best unis we've had in the past have had white accent elements. Something to break up the red and yellow. Maybe if we actually used pleasant shades of cardinal and gold it wouldn't be so bad but like you said we use either neon yellow or pale dull yellow.
 
Addendum re: my response to @exCyDing ... not intended as criticism -- mainly I would put bugle and cyhawk trophy 2.0 closer to the same level.

Occasionally, in retrospect, I wish we had kept Pewter Farm Family — UI would've been forced to display in trophy case all but about once so far :cool:
No worries, I have thick skin and it’s all a matter of personal taste anyway! None of these choices were made without multiple people thinking and saying “We really did it, this is going to be great!”

The CyHawk fiasco at least could be partially blamed on the sponsor/Hawkeyes. The Bugle and prior throwbacks were all on our AD, though.

The Pewter Farm family would’ve made a great loser’s “trophy.” I wonder what happened to it.
