New Uniforms Revealed

Unfortunately, considering we went with black against Iowa in one of most hyped games in the history of program, I don’t think anyone puts much thought into how it contrasts/looks.

Agree with the overall point, we did wear White helmets vs Iowa that year. Everything did contrast that game.
 
WCW is our best look, period. It's so clean. Really bothers me that we won't see it even once this season.

Agreed. So sharp.
 
Which was, unfortunately, the only way the black collar looked good.
Disagree. Loved the black collar. Those initial jerseys had smaller numbers too, and this looked much better than the current ones. The current unis with the larger numbers look baggy and wrinkled, they don’t “fit” well over pads like the initial ones did. Similar to when at some point the Paul Rhoads unis got updated by Nike (maybe ‘13 or ‘14?) with crazy stupid oversized shoulder stripes and horribly stretched/larger numbers. They looked terrible and didn’t fit well either. Goodness those extended/long shoulder stripes looked really, really bad.

They need to check with us fans first. Don't you think? :)

And I'm not really kidding. Many fans have poor ideas (I had my share), but there are a lot of Cyclone fans who have posted on this thread and others that have good and sound ideas. Particularly for Iowa State. There would be wildly differing ideas and time would be needed to sift through all of them. In the end, something good would come out on top.

The result would at least be better than some of the uniforms and ideas the Athletic Dept and Nike have come up with, over the years.

I agree with you on Rhoads era sh. stripes. The longer ones were not an improvement. The concept maybe was but the result did not look better. Maybe it was some of the other things you mentioned as well. They looked particularly bad with the yellow jerseys.
 
I'd like to see W/B/B sometime, but put the cardinal and gold I-State logo on the helmet instead of the all black logo.
