New Uniforms Revealed

[ISUTex]

Love the uniforms. That is what the football pants should always look like. Love the colors.

Like the helmet and tops. It’s hard to make the pants color look good with anything though.

I love the pants. A gold helmet would've gone nicely with the pants.

Is the front number required to be in the middle of the jersey? That's really my only issue with these. Also, is the striping on the back?

No stripes on the back

Took this screenshot from the reveal video. I think they look even better under the lights!

Yeah, that looks cool actually with the FB field/stadium.

Also, all the folks with cool helmet collections get to add another helmet!

Cheap is the word you're looking for

You can all disagree with this post, but it is the case

While the jersey is the new FUSE tailoring template, the fabric is definitely of a lesser quality - the seams look really bad

I'm not sure re: the pants tailoring, but again, the fabric is cheap

Also, the jersey is entirely screen printed

The stripes, of course, would have to be screened on, but the faux-stitched iron-on numbers would have looked higher-quality & also would have created a bit of pop & differentiation from the stripes - from afar & on television, especially two-digit numbers, will wash out - the front of the jersey will just look like a gray & white puddle...

A two-tone number would have helped too - maybe gold with a white outline or something like that (preferably not white with a black outline, b/c of the Ohio State jerseys... )

Immediately thought of Ohio state..

I think you mean THE Iowa State University.

These are awesome

I’m impressed with them. Love the Ames helmet and trice stripes. Will be a nice tribute!

 

[CyLyte2]

They killed it.

Those are sweet! That 'cardinal' (jersey) and 'gold' (pants) should be our regular colors.... so much better than what we use now.

With all that being said... these look nothing like what Jack Trice wore... but maybe they didn't care about that in the design of these?

Also... there must not be any legal issue with Adidas by using "I Will", huh?

Alright, one small update - a close up photo reveals the numbers are iron-on, BUT they don't appear to have the faux stitching around the edge

Maybe, maybe, this is a mock & the final on-field product will use the higher quality materials...

My big question is why we couldn't have the athletic gold, gray stripes & red numbers that Jack Trice actually wore? Especially when it appears this uniform was created to wear only once in the season

 

[Lineup]

I like

 

[Rogue52]

Yeah, so those helmets should just be adopted permanently.

I am OK with the Trice uni. Have two comments.

1. The Trice emblem looks grey. Not a big fan of adding 4th color. White Trice emblem and gold lettering?

2. I love the gold pants, hard to see if there is a side striping. But the red (while darker) doesn't appear cardinal. Seems like we can never get both colors on the same uniform!

Life goes on!! I'll take an 8-4 season over the perfect uniform

You do realize that the original Jack Trice stripes ARE grey, right?

These may be demo uniforms. Game day version may have numbers not ironed on.

I don’t hate them. I expected worse.

Now let’s do Earl Bruce throwbacks again.

So these Ames helmets can become a regular right

These will likely be worn for ONE game... that's it. No reason to spend a bunch on the quality of materials.

This is true - spare the expense for sure

But, if it's a one-off & you're doing it on the cheap, why not (athletic) gold jerseys?

We got the Paul Rhoads (Gene Chizik...) uniforms b/c we wanted to go back to cardinal & gold b/c we had strayed away from OUR colors - now it's as if we want to get as far away from any kind of "gold" at all
