New Uniforms Revealed

I learned a lot from this compilation. It is accurate as to the colors listed on Weebly.com. I cannot vouch for the color "accuracy" on the cycloneuniforms.weebly.com, however. I imagine it is reasonably accurate, I would think/hope. This Color History does give a nice comparison, if nothing else.

Stapleton colors are the best
I love cardinal and gold, and I agree that the Stapleton colors are likely the best (followed by Bruce and maybe now--cardinal and gold only), but ironically the current coach (who has won a lot of games) and the players like black. As a 1988 ISU grad, I would love more real school colors than the black stuff, but my tiny donations and my tuition payments for my own children's education are not enough to make a difference. No building or end zone club will be named for my family.
I do think that most alumni would like to see school colors featured. But as JP has mentioned in many interviews, black uniforms make CMC and the current players happy.

I look at this picture and all I can think about is turf burns.
You are right!!! I hadn't thought of that. Those poor players!
When did Trice Field go back to grass?
Happy Fathers Day, Cyclone fathers!!! Go out and make some more Little Cyclones!
Thank you! McCarney's second year. Was he the reason we went back to grass, or was it just time, and the right thing to do?
I’m good with the black. The black and white combos are next level. What I don’t care for is the red and yellow. I continue to be disappointed that we can’t get back to the cardinal and gold.
I wonder what it would have been like if we kept the sunflower gold and brought back the Stapleton1 gold (lighter of the 2 golds), let's say in 1979?
Here's a new compilation of what "could have been". Everything here is make believe, starting with 1979. Fun to think about. We could still bring back the lighter Stapleton gold...(probably in an alternate universe).
stick with the decal they currently use and these would be sweet.
the decal is trash. the blue is sweet.
And they're going to waste it by using it only with matte-gray alternate uniform, apparently.
Apparently the NFL rule is second shells can only be worn with alternative uniforms. They could theoretically where them with the blue throwbacks with silver numbers.
