It kind of helps make the white plants look like a more intentional part of the uni rather than, oops, we forgot and wore our practice pants.
Agreed. So sharp.
I assume you mean compared to the cardinal-cardinal-white combo? (If so, I agree).
A crimson tide isn't an elephant and cardinal isn't a tree so theres that.
Yes, since there is no white trim on the helmet and jerseys, those white, unstriped pants look like an add-on that doesn't go with the rest.
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.
So happy to see my favorite helmet is being brought back.
I feel like I’m the only person who thinks this but I miss all cardinal. That was my favorite combo by far
