OK. And that solves the gold conundrum. Case closed.
You make some good points. However, I still believe that we could use a darker gold. I'm not saying we should replace the current gold.
That's the frustrating part, there are obviously ISU fans who are talented graphic artists you and many others on this thread are evidence of that. It would be cool if the AD would utilize that resource more.Fix the dated font - look at the A and E in particular - and yeet the bevels. Like what I showed here from one of my old stories:
Orr-nado isn't my creation. As my stories said, it was from the mind of @amestoplease - but all I did was try to bring more attention to it. For the record, I've also seen other tornado concepts that are cool and I've suggested the AD keep iterating and trying out different tornado logos for different use cases. The bugle logo could be used as an emoji, etc. Eventually one would rise to the top IMO.
Speaking of him, I just saw this post of his:
New Walking Cy Logo Concept
Even more amazing stuff. There's something to be said for giving a talented artist (with a full understanding of ISU's cultural history) free reign over branding - rather than focus grouping it to death.
Haha! I like ANY KU uniform better than these! Get real!
NOT! Good job Cd! Way to get things back on track. Not that I mind seeing new KU unis, but comparing them to us doesn't really make sense. They are not so great.
What's it worth to ya?
Well it can be done, relatively easily, but then I'd have to..... No, wait, that's the wrong expression.
I can do it. But I will need some fun money!
If you can do that, it would be awesome! Can't give you anything for it, but just making me happy should be worth it to you, right?
Of course. Happy is good! Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be happy, all the time!
I will definitely get around to it. I have some other things I'd like to do first. We'll see.
The UTEP pic is not a great angle, poor lighting, very low resolution. I could do it but I'd rather spend the time, if I'm gonna do it, on a better pic to start with. I did a quick look at similar unis (Florida and Auburn) but I am having trouble finding the right pic easily.
Find me a good pic(s) for a color change, preferably good lighting and over 300-500 KB of resolution, and I'll consider doing it. Let me know, if you do, and I'll give you my email, and you can send it/them to me. Otherwise, I'm spending too much time.
Yeah, I think you misread my post. I agree that the Mac jerseys were worse. They red and yellow was as ketchup/mustard as it gets.
But as some have pointed out, the Mac jerseys did vary quite a bit. They were much better when they kept the yellow out of it.
Red/Red/Yellow and Red/White/Yellow are among the worst unis we've ever worn. Per usual, our road unis are much better because our primary colors don't mesh well without something between them.
I had thought about that too. I was thinking about putting in the outfield, a la Field of Dreams, but I thought, nope, keep it simple...
You pickies just use your imagination!
This is for Clonedude, per request. The UTEP color change is not a bad look. I just don't think we are going to get rid of our black or white helmets. Therefore I don't believe we will be getting gold helmets, any time soon. If we did get a gold helmet, that would make 4! That's a lot of helmet cost and maintenance.
And I'm not sure I Iike the white facemask. Too Chiefs? But I enjoyed doing it. I think we can do better. And as others have said, this is very 'cookie-cutter'. I'm still working some ideas.

Thanks a LOT for doing that! I think it has some potential…. I think the cardinal needs to be more cardinal and less red, and the gold needs to be more mustardy and less bright yellow…. it looks too Ronald McDonald for me.
But you did a great job!
And I know what you mean about the c/c/g. If we had a darker gold option, it would be fine. It could at least be an occasional option, and would look good (with the right gold). We haven't had that now for about 43 years!
I disagree with the c/w/g; that would be a good look. Again, better if we had the right gold.
Thank you. And please don't focus too much on some of the minor details, during this process. FYI, I used our exact and current shade of cardinal. The lighting of that pic messes things up, especially if you are looking for a precise color. You can't really see the true color in the original nor the color mod. Also, I did nothing to the gold in that pic, other than 'lightening' of it (the player) initially, before I got started with the color change. Otherwise the original pic was just so dark.
I don't mind your opinion though. Don't get me wrong.
