Our Cardinal Jersey's would look so much better with white numbers like that...

I’m all for mixing in some black but it has to done in an original way otherwise leave it out.
Surprisingly the white numbers like this (and gold numbers/wht trim for shoulders)looks very good w/ all-cardinal, and all the other main combos! It would be very nice to have 2 cardinal jerseys, one w/ gold main number, one w/ white. They could go either way depending upon mood, what team they were playing.
I agree, don't want to look like TxTech or somebody else. And fortunately with our black so far, we haven't seen any mixing of the black and cardinal other than b/c/c. I think this is good and I give the staff credit for that insight. It's probably best to keep it that way most of the time.
I've left the black and black/white sets alone for the most part, "from a distance". From afar you shouldn't really be able to tell that I've added a muted red/gray stripe to the pant and shoulder. They could brighten up the red stripe a little I suppose but I don't think they would want to and I felt this was a good compromise. We/they can still have the all-black look that they seem to like.
I just think the black sets need a little red, especially since we are using them so often.
All-black ..
Black/white.. 
Then if they wanted to add more of our colors in, maybe something like this?...

This
and those others were at the the request of @clonedude who wanted to see a plain white number. I thought that was a great idea but the white only number is a one, or two trick pony only, working well w/ the g/c/g but not so good with other combos.The gold trimmed white number is better, more versatile and works well w/ other combos..
Mix in the gold number. Alternating gold and white numbered cardinal jerseys would be a nice variety, and yet is very simple, clean. It's what I'd kind of like to see, rather than going w/ just one cardinal jersey. Also illustrating the two white pants here; one w/o stripe, one with. 
Combos work together well in these examples IMO, as there is dark red and black in the White pant stripe, trace dark red, white and black in the Numbers, and trace white and black in the Nameplate. Also trace white in the Cardinal helmet (other than a white chinstrap).

I took a shot at our '70's gold. Please be nice to me! Ha! It's a natural progression to do a gold set after doing all these others

I still think we should have went with a dark gray instead of black for alternates.... somewhat similar to what we had before, but more like the ASU grays below. Black is just too much like Iowa for my liking and gray is more of a "neutral" color.
I know it’s been said a million times but I just don’t see how they don’t go with the Istate and Orrnado logos as the two main logos.
You could mix and match the helmets for each game. Istate on the helmet and orrnado on the chest collar or shoulder pads. Then vise-Versa the next game.
The orrnado looks good in cardinal, gold, black, white, or grey and looks timeless. If you put that logo on a shirt our fanbase would buy the **** out of it.
Sooo much they are missing out on.

I still wonder why we only have 3 colors to choose from in our uniforms, when most schools have a minimum of 4 it seems.
We actually went from 4 down to 3 in this last "upgrade". We did have cardinal, gold, white, and the dark gray before we went to the current cardinal, white, and black.
I would have went with the option of cardinal, gold, white, and gray helmets, jerseys, and pants.

I believe that if black is a color choice at Iowa State, then specific university rules REQUIRE that no gold be included unless cardinal is also included and the cardinal is more dominate than the gold. I may be wrong with this interpretation, so I will gladly defer to someone who knows more about how the colors can be combined in any ISU uniform or communication.
